I am a professor in the United Arab Emirates. I had a study tour arranged for 20 social work and human service students to New York when the ban was announced. We cancelled this educational and cultural exchange tour because it was too uncertain given how quickly the ban occurred and I had two students from Yemen. One of them is a blind student who I wanted to see snow before she loses all her eyesight. It was a great loss for us and for the US students in Buffalo with whom we were going to meet.
