Vargas Speaks: Episode 9

EDITOR'S NOTE: On Thursday, February 9, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit decided not to reinstate Trump’s executive action on immigration and refugees while the policy works its way through the legal system. This occurred after this episode was recorded.

In this edition of Vargas Speaks, Dr. Vargas discusses:

• the impact of President Trump's executive order on Southeast's International students
• the impact of budget cuts on the FY17 budget
• the university's draft policy addressing tobacco use and smoking on campus and discusses his plans for 2017
• the university's plan for the solar eclipse in August and about the visit by Dr. Michio Kaku as the keynote speaker as part of the celebration
