Kansas colleges are reacting to President Trump’s executive order temporarily banning immigration from seven predominantly Muslim nations. Kansas State University President Richard Myers says the university is concerned about the detrimental effects of the order on impacted students. More than 60 K-State students come from the countries included in the order. University of Kansas Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little is also encouraging affected students to avoid international travel until there is further clarification.
