International students in GESO call on President Levin to work together to defend their rights: Just before President Levin went to China last November, over 20 graduate student organizers in GESO sent a letter asking him to take a stronger public stand on the issue. A few weeks later, President Levin authored a column in the International Herald Tribune, warning that, "If long delays in visa processing persist, we run the risk of diverting increasing numbers of Chinese and other Asian students from the United States to Europe." The staff at Yale's Office of International Students and Scholars has been a crucial and constantly helpful resource for international students on campus. In our meetings in the Capitol, we were advised to bring union members and University administrators together to speak with members of Congress. In this spirit, we invite President Levin and members of his administrators to join with us in meeting Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro, so we can work together to fix this national problem. Levin has no decent justification not to respond. Unfortunately, that hasn't stopped him before.
