Another great #SAChat, this week on The effect of the immigration EO on campus. Thank you to Derrick Robinson and Kevin Wright for MODing this chat.
MOD Q1: What is your initial reaction to the immigration EO? #SAChat
A1 Sad, scared. Worried about friends, and non-friends who don't deserve this kind of nonsense #sachat

A1 Initial reaction is I'm extremely nervous for my students immediately impacted. My friends who can't see their families. #sachat

MOD Q2: How have your students reacted/responded to the E.O? #SAChat (thanks to @THEKarynDyer for the Q) #SAChat
A2: Perception is interesting. I hear angry students who want to fix what's happening. Quiet ones who feel there is nothing to fix. #SAChat

A2: Students organized a rally in protest of the E.O. I'm really glad that they are speaking out against it. #SAChat

MOD Q3: Does your campus have any plans in place specifically for supporting students who cannot travel? #SAChat
A3 I'm seeing what individual campuses are doing (mainly,statements) but want to see what a difference we can make to join together #sachat

A3: I know we have students who this impacts, but I don't know what FSU is specifically doing. #SAChat

MOD Q4: What spaces have been created to discuss this within your campus community? #SAChat
MOD Q4 (Pt.2): What offices would you like to see more involvement from with creating spaces to discuss EO? #SAChat
A4 Space matters less than who/what is in the space. HigherEd need not move people/topics into hiding. #sachat

Q4 Its not just the offices it's what are we all doing as citizens of this society? #SAChat

MOD Q5: Do you know anyone directly impacted by this EO, on or off campus? #SAChat
A5 The average person in HigherEd probably more supported than average person outside of it. #SAChat

Q5: Yes former resident & coworker can't leave the country/visit home bc of travel ban. Been in the US for years #SAChat

MOD Q6: If you were President, what would you have done differently to create American safety while still keeping American values? #SAChat
@The_SA_Blog A6 Yes, consulted with State, Defense, DHS, NSA, and Justice with open opinions. #SAChat

MOD FT/FQ: What final question or final thought do you have as we close out this #SAChat?
You can't just create space and hope ppl will come, might as well go meet them where they are, in person or online #SAChat
— Hon Lam (@honsololam) February 3, 2017
@The_SA_Blog FQ Can we get all affected groups to be unified and attempt to reserve the travel ban? #SAChat
