Houchang E. Chehabi<\/a>,\u00a0<\/span>Professor of International Relations and History at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies, was recently interviewed on the effect President Donald Trump’s\u00a0executive order banning citizens from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the United States for 90 days will have on foreign students in Massachusetts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chehabi was quoted in a February 10, 2017 article in the\u00a0Boston Globe<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>entitled “Mass. Is a Magnet For Foreign Students, But They\u2019re Anxious About Trump.<\/a>”<\/p>\n

From the text of the article:<\/p>\n

Houchang E. Chehabi, an Iranian-born professor at Boston University who came to the United States in the 1970s to get a doctorate in political science at Yale, took a more pessimistic view. He predicted fewer Iranians will come to this country if they sense Trump may take further steps to clamp down on them and others from majority Muslim countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s just a general sense of being singled out, which is all the more painful in that we\u2019ve done so well in this country,\u201d Chehabi said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
