Statement on President Trump's Executive Order on Refugees and Immigration
February
1, 2017
As past and present members of the faculty of the Jewish
Studies Program at the University of Pittsburgh, we protest the executive order
issued by President Trump denying entry into the United States for the next 90
days to citizens of seven Muslim countries: Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya,
Somalia and Yemen.
As scholars of Jewish history and culture we are well aware
of the denial of entry into the United States to Jewish refugees fleeing
Hitler, and are outraged that fellow human beings, refugees from Syria who are
fleeing war and death, are not being welcomed here. The offense to the lessons
of history is intensified by the fact that President Trump signed these
executive orders on Holocaust Remembrance Day, the anniversary of the
liberation of Auschwitz. We are shocked by proposals of a future religious
test for entry into the United States.
As the
Chancellor of our University recently stated, “Our
country was founded by individuals escaping from persecution based on their
religion. Our government was founded on a belief that ‘all men are created
equal.’ We are a nation of immigrants whose history was enriched by the waves
of immigrants crossing onto our shores. Similarly, the University of Pittsburgh
is built on a foundation of values that rejects discrimination and embraces
diversity as essential to the tasks of education and discovery. Our
University's remarkable success story has been written by individuals who came
from all over the world—by men and women who shared all types of religious
beliefs. They came to Pittsburgh to learn, to teach, to discover, and to serve.
Without question, we are a better university because of them.”
This executive
order and some of the additional proposals to severely restrict the movement of
people on the basis of religion and national origin threaten not only human
decency but the scholarly enterprise itself. Such actions make research and
collaboration abroad more difficult and impede collaboration with academic
researchers in other countries.
Along with colleagues around the country we demand that the
United States government end this outrageous, misguided, and potentially
unconstitutional policy immediately.
