Marc Robitaille (ice hockey)
Marc Robitaille (born June 7, 1976) is a Canadian former ice hockey goaltender who was an All-American for Northeastern. Career Robitaille bounced around in his junior career, playing for three separate teams, mostly as a backup. In his final year of eligibility, he received significant playing time with the Gloucester Rangers and posted strong numbers. He began attending Northeastern University the following year, serving as the Huskies starter as a freshman. In the program's first season under Bruce Crowder, Northeastern wasn't good and finished last in the Hockey East standings. The team saw a huge turnaround the following year and the team posted its first 20-win season in a decade. Robitaille was in net for each of those victories and lowered his goals against average by more than a goal per game. The massive swing to their success led the Toronto Maple Leafs to offer Robitaille a professional contract after the season. He jumped at the chance and ended his college career after being named an All-American. In his first season with the Leafs, Robitaille was assigned to their AHL affiliate in St. John's. He split time in goal with two other netminders and while he did end up playing the most minutes, Robitaille did not distinguish himself as the top goalie on the team. His second season with the club turned out even worse and he watched most of the games from the bench after his GAA ballooned. Rather than continue his playing career, Robitaille retired after the season at the age of 23. Robitaille returned home and began attending the University of Ottawa, graduating with a degree in business administration in 2003. He went on to work in the energy industry, mostly as a trader, spending nearly 12 years with Brookfield Renewable Partners.

Arthur Bronwell
Arthur Brough Bronwell (August 18, 1909 – May 10, 1985) was an American professor of electrical engineering who served as president of Worcester Polytechnic Institute (1955–1962) and dean of the University of Connecticut School of Engineering (1962–1970). A building on UConn's campus was named in his honor. Early life and career Bronwell was born in Chicago on August 18, 1909. He received his BS degree in 1933 and his MS degree in 1936 from the Illinois Institute of Technology. Bronwell joined the faculty of Northwestern University in 1937 and became a full Professor of Electrical Engineering in 1947. From 1947 through 1954, he served as part-time executive secretary of the American Society for Engineering Education. During his tenure, ASEE's membership rolls increased from fewer than 4,000 to almost 7,000 members by 1951. In his capacity as executive secretary, he also served as editor of the society's journal, Journal of Engineering Education. During World War II, Bronwell trained Army Signal Corps cadets on radar and acoustic location at Northwestern and oversaw a wartime research project to develop the B-29 bomber's radar system. He served on a joint US Army-State Department postwar mission to Japan on technological recovery. He also worked on special projects for Bell Labs and consulted for Motorola. In 1947, Bronwell invented what he termed the Chromoscope, a viewing tube for color TV; however, his invention never scaled to production. While teaching at Northwestern University, Bronwell earned a Master of Business Administration from Northwestern in 1947. He also received an honorary Doctorate of Laws from Northeastern University and an honorary Doctorate of Engineering from Wayne State University. Worcester Polytechnic Institute Bronwell was selected as the ninth president of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in fall 1954 and took office in February 1955. During his presidency, the number of faculty nearly doubled and enrollment grew from 800 to 1,200 students. The Alumni Gymnasium and the Morgan, Kaven, and Olin Halls were constructed and scientific laboratories renovated under his leadership. In addition, Bronwell diversified WPI's curriculum, adding more humanities and social sciences courses to round out the scientific curriculum. His capital campaign raised $5 million from donors in five years. He served on the National Science Foundation's advisory committee. His presidency marked the beginning of a transition for WPI from a provincial to a national university. Bronwell's presidency saw the construction of WPI's nuclear research reactor. Funded by a grant of $150,000 from the US Atomic Energy Commission in 1958 and going critical on December 18, 1959, the Leslie C. Wilbur Nuclear Reactor Facility was "one of the first such facilities in the nation located on a university campus." Bronwell accepted a position as dean of the University of Connecticut School of Engineering and resigned from WPI in January 1962. University of Connecticut Bronwell assumed his duties as dean of the UConn School of Engineering on April 1, 1962. He oversaw rapid growth of the school, including construction of a new electrical engineering building (the third on UConn's Storrs campus) and computer center in 1968. He launched new graduate programs in aerospace, biological and environmental, transportation, urban, and ocean engineering, as well as the Institute for Material Science. Bronwell resigned as dean in July 1970 and retired from the faculty in 1977. UConn named its Engineering III building, constructed in Storrs under Bronwell's leadership, in his honor. Bronwell was a member of the Council of Foreign Relations and a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. He served as a US delegate to the UNESCO Conference on Engineering Education in Paris in December 1968. Personal life Bronwell married Virginia Russel White in 1941. The couple had two children: James Arthur Bronwell and Susan Virginia Carter. Bronwell died on May 10, 1985, at a Willimantic nursing home following a long illness. He was interred at Storrs Cemetery. Publications Bronwell published three books in addition to numerous articles in IEEE Spectrum, Proceedings of the IRE, SIAM Review, Research Management, Electrical Engineering, and other journals. An academic reviewer hailed his Advanced Mathematics in Physics and Engineering as "a real contribution to scientific and engineering education." His book Science and Technology in the World of the Future was named one of the 100 best books of 1970 by Library Journal.

Jason Guerriero is an American ice hockey coach and former defenseman who was an All-American for Northeastern. Career Guerriero was a star player in juniors, leading the NAHL in scoring in 2001 and leading the Texas Tornado to a league championship. He began attending Northeastern University the following autumn and immediately became a major piece of the team's offense. Unfortunately, during his four-year tenure, the Huskies were never a top team. For his senior season Guerriero was named team captain and was named an All-American.

Herbert Parmet
Herbert Samuel Parmet (September 28, 1929 – January 25, 2017) was an American writer, biographer, and distinguished historian most notable for his works of writing on American presidents. Early life Herbert Parmet, who was named for American president Herbert Hoover, was born in New York City to Isaac Parmet and Fanny Scharf, two Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, with his father being from the Ukrainian city of Krasyliv, and his mother from the village of Wiśnicz in Poland. He grew up in the Bronx with his parents, and his younger brother Robert, the latter of which has taught history at CUNY's York College since it opened in 1967. Formative years Herbert went to DeWitt Clinton High School in New York City, where he met his wife, Joan Kronish. Parmet and Kronish would marry in August 1948, and would go on to attend the State University of New York at Oswego together. After receiving his B.A. (1951), he served in the U.S. Army from 1952 to 1954, before attending Queens College, from which he received an M.A. in history (1957). Although he went on to pursue doctoral studies at Columbia University from 1957 to 1962, he never completed his Ph.D. He taught social studies in North Babylon, Long Island (1951-1954); at Mineola High School in Mineola, Long Island (1954-1968), where he was chairman of the department of social studies from 1961 to 1968; before moving to Queensborough Community College in Bayside, Queens, where he was an assistant professor (1968-1973), associate professor (1973-1975), professor (1975-1983), and then distinguished professor (1983-1995) of history. Upon his retirement, he was named distinguished professor emeritus of history (1995-2017). He was also on the faculty of the CUNY Graduate Center beginning in 1977. While working as a teacher, he co-authored his first book, Aaron Burr; Portrait of an Ambitious Man with colleague Marie Hecht. Writing career In total, Parmet would author and co-author a total of 11 books throughout his vocation, mostly regarding politics and the lives of American presidents such as John F Kennedy and Richard Nixon. Aaron Burr; Portrait of an Ambitious Man (1967) Never Again; a President Runs for a Third Term (1968) Eisenhower and the American Crusades (1972) The Democrats: The Years After FDR (1976) JFK, the Presidency of John F. Kennedy (1983) Jack: The Struggles of John F. Kennedy (1983) 200 Years of Looking Ahead: Commemorating the Bicentennial of the Founding of the Bank of New York, 1784-1984 (1984) Richard Nixon and His America (1990) George Bush: The Life of a Lone Star Yankee (1997) Presidential Power from the New Deal to the New Right (2002) Richard M. Nixon: An American Enigma (2008) Political opinions Herbert Parmet thought very highly of former president Richard Nixon, saying in an interview with the Great Falls Tribune, "I think it is very important to see him as the very sensitive, intelligent human being that he is.", although admitted in the past he was not a fan of Nixon. In defense of Nixon, he also discussed with the Associated Press, in a response to the development of Oliver Stone's movie, Nixon, that the film was "Absolute, total, and utter nonsense." and that "I guess they waited until he died to come out with this nonsense." in referring to early drafts of the movie regarding a subplot of Nixon organizing a hit squad to assassinate John F. Kennedy. The author also had high opinions regarding former president Bill Clinton, telling the Californian that "I would place Clinton definitely above average; I'm very comfortable with that." He was against the process of the impeachment of Bill Clinton, saying the process "...[gave] the impression of a partisan ganging up on a president by individuals who loathed him from the beginning." Parmet, in an interview with Sheldon Stern, stressed that in regards to his extensive interviews of both Eisenhower and Kennedy associates that, in the case of Eisenhower, "...were more concerned with the conservative mission than the Kennedy people were, rather than with the personality of the man." and that "the Kennedy people, by and large, display a temperamental kind of intellectual liberalism, both temperamental and intellectually.", explaining further that in his interviews, they didn't focus on the policy and other political aspects of Kennedy, in comparison to the time they spent talking about the personality of the former president himself. With reference to the presidency of Dwight D Eisenhower, his writings on the topic describe him as a stabilizing influence of necessity, to say "to label him a great or good or even weak president misses the point. He was merely necessary." Personal life and death Herbert Parmet has a daughter, Wendy. She holds a joint appointment at Northeastern University as Matthews Distinguished University Professor of Law and Director of the Center for Health Policy and Law, and Professor of Public Policy and Urban Affairs in the School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs. He died on January 25, 2017, in the city of Newton, Massachusetts. Reception of writings On his debut book on Aaron Burr, the Bridgeport Post very highly reviewed and recommended the work of Parmet and Hecht remarking, "This is scholars' work, no doubt of that... anyone with a casual interest in biography or American history will find much to interest in him in this exhaustive, though never exhausting, well-written biography." The Freeport Journal-Standard had opinions in congruence with the Post, declaring that the book was a "fiery story, engrossingly told." The Kansas City Times called it a "fascinating study of a genuine character." Glen Macnow of the Detroit Free Press described Parmet in his writings about Kennedy as someone that "...remains detached from the Kennedy mystique, portraying the man as neither a hero of Camelot nor a woman-chasing scoundrel." and that "Above all, Parmet avoids romanticizing JFK." Despite Macnow's approval of his impartiality in his work on Kennedy, the St. Louis-Post Dispatch articulates that "Parmet does not mention, as he should have, that Kennedy's appointment of reactionary Southerners to the federal bench caused problems that continued for years." Jack Lessenberry of the Commercial Appeal described his series on Nixon as "...by far, the best, mainly because it is not just about Nixon, but about the land that shaped him; that is to say, our America. Echoing Macnow's opinion regarding Parmet's neutrality in writing, Alan Miller from the Atlanta Constitution wrote, "...[Parmet] places Mr. Nixon squarely in the context of his turbulent times. This useful perspective allows readers to draw their own conclusions about the man who still evokes fierce passions." Lessenberry and Miller's praise of Herbert's work on Nixon is heavily contrasted to that of Judith Johnson from the Wichita Eagle who says "Besides a favorable bias, "But in his praise for the former president, Parmet tends to diminish the influence of other plays such as Dwight David Eisenhower and John F Kennedy... Richard Nixon and His America" suffers from an imbalance in events and issues." In the article, Johnson was critical of biases on Parmet's half regarding his high thoughts of Nixon. Mel Small of the Detroit Free Press makes claims that parrot the praise and criticism of Nixon's work, discouraged by his narrow inclusion of the Watergate scandal, but also agrees that "Along the way, [Parmet] makes a reasonable case for the consideration of Nixon as a reasonable politician" In a review to his writings on former president Dwight Eisenhower, Robert Kirsch of the Los Angeles Times commended the book by Parmet, appending "This is not only a narrative of the administration, and a portrait of the man, it is told against the background of America, and the world, and told brilliantly." Historian Steve Neal called it a "fascinating and scholarly account." Richard Walton said that the work was "comprehensive and fair" and that "Parmet was tough, and justifiably so" in his criticisms of Ike. Frederick Marquardt of the Arizona Republic disparaged the writing in certain aspects, arguing that the book was a "long rambling account" of his presidency and that the book could have benefitted from "more selectivity" and disregarding many details that the average reader may not want to know. Marquardt's opinion was not unpopular among reviewers, with fellow journalist Thomas Lask of the New York Times describing the biographical work as "a clumsy, ill-proportioned book in which the material gets in the way of the subject". Regarding his book on the post-FDR Democratic Party, Scott Shrewsbury of the Star Tribune describes his account and analysis as "a narrative plagued by a rash of factual errors and stylistic deficiencies" also arguing that he "[ignored] the true dimensions of the country's needs...", mostly in response to an argument made by Parmet suggesting that the Democratic Party was attempting to accommodate a variety of beliefs "until the seams strain", proposing a solution against his self-described "umbrella" of the party.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald%20F.%20Borelli
Ronald F. Borelli
Ronald F. Borelli (May 26, 1936 – June 10, 2006) was an American Engineer, Inventor and Executive born in New Haven, Connecticut. He is known for leading the Page Printing System program at Honeywell Information Systems, that produced one of the world's first high speed electro-static non-impact computer printers. During his time at Honeywell he authored 20 patents. He also led Aavid Thermal Technologies, during a period of dramatic growth in the 1990s. Education In 1955 Ronald graduated from Notre Dame High School in West Haven, Connecticut. He then served in the U.S. Army for two years, after which he attended Fairfield University, completing a Bachelor of Science degree in physics. He also attended Northeastern University where he completed a master's degree in electrical engineering in 1969. Business life Ronald started his career at Univac in Norwalk Connecticut as a Computer Peripheral Engineer. Ronald joined Honeywell in 1962. He initially worked on card readers, card punches and high speed line printers. In April 1966 he contributed to a paper delivered to the AFIPS Spring Joint Computer Conference entitled A serial reader-punch with novel concepts, that detailed design improvements incorporated into the Honeywell 214 Reader-Punch. He joined the Page Printing System (PPS) program in 1967. Their goal was to pioneer non-impact printing as a way to reduce the noise and exceed the speed of mechanical line printers at that time. He was first the Manager of non-impact Printer Engineering based in Oklahoma City and then in 1976 he was named Director of Operations Page Printing Systems. The PPS Operation was run as a separate company within the Honeywell Corporation with its own manufacturing, research and development and marketing teams with 75 marketing (sales) personnel. During this time Ron authored 20 patents and oversaw the product as it grew to become an international operation. Ronald was routinely mentioned in the media and even appeared in print advertisements. For the Honeywell PPSII/E, he was pictured with a dog under the caption that the PPSII/E does everything but feed the dog. Ronald left Honeywell in 1982 to join SCI of Huntsville, as Senior Vice President. In 1989 he became president and chief executive officer of Spectra, Inc. of Hanover, NH. He joined the Board of Directors of Aavid Thermal Technologies of Laconia, NH, in 1993, and then became chairman and CEO in October 1996. During his tenure, revenues at Aavid grew from $100m to $210m USD and employees doubled from 1000 to 2000. Aavid later moved to private ownership in 2000 after a leveraged buyout of $360 million by Chicago-based Willis Stein & Partners. In 2004 Ronald and his former COO from Aavid, George Dannecker, created a startup called Vette Corporation. He served as chairman of the board for Vette Corporation of Manchester, New Hampshire, as well as InterSense of Burlington, Massachusetts, and Bentley Kinetics of Bedford, New Hampshire.

Peter Karl Sorger
Peter Karl Sorger (born February 13, 1961, in Halifax Nova Scotia, Canada) is a systems and cancer biologist and Otto Krayer Professor of Systems Pharmacology in the Department of Systems Biology at Harvard Medical School. Sorger is the founding head of the Harvard Program in Therapeutic Science (HiTS), director of its Laboratory of Systems Pharmacology (LSP), and co-director of the Harvard MIT Center for Regulatory Science. He was previously a Professor of Biology and Biological Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he co-founded its program on Computational and Systems Biology (CSBi). Sorger is known for his work in the field of systems biology and for having helped launch the field of computational and systems pharmacology. His research focuses on the molecular origins of cancer and approaches to accelerate the development of new medicines. Sorger teaches Principles and Practice of Drug Development at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University. Early life Sorger was born on February 13, 1961, in Halifax Nova Scotia, Canada to Scottish and Austrian parents. His family immigrated to the US in 1963. He graduated summa cum laude from Harvard College in 1983 (in Biochemistry) where he studied the assembly of icosahedral viruses under the supervision of Stephen C. Harrison. He received his PhD for Biochemistry as a Marshall Scholar from Trinity College, Cambridge for research on the transcriptional regulation of heat shock genes under the supervision of Hugh Pelham at the Medical Research Council Lab in Cambridge, England. He then trained as a Richard Childs Fellow and Lucille P. Markey Scholar with Harold Varmus and Andrew Murray at the University of California, San Francisco. Career Sorger joined the MIT Department of Biology in 1984 following a year as a Visiting Scientist with Anthony A. Hyman at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, Heidelberg, Germany. Sorger became a full Professor in the MIT Biology and Biological Engineering Departments in 2004. Sorger's postdoctoral and early faculty research led to the first reconstitution of a chromosome-microtubule attachment (a yeast kinetochore) and the subsequent identification of multiple kinetochore proteins. His group identified mammalian homologs of the checkpoint proteins that regulate entry into mitosis, and showed that mutations in these genes can be oncogenic because they cause chromosome instability. This work contributed to the understanding of the faithful transmission of chromosomes from mother to daughter cells. Defects in these mechanisms cause aneuploidy that plays a major role in oncogenic transformation. Working closely with Doug Lauffenburger and funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the National Institutes of Health's National Centers for Systems Biology program, Sorger's work in the 1990s increasingly focused on oncogenesis itself and on mammalian signal transduction. Sorger and Lauffenburger's approach combined molecular genetics, live-cell microscopy and mechanistic computational modeling. Their focus on biochemistry REF was unusual in an era dominated by genomics and ultimately led Sorger to co-found the software company Glencoe Software and the biotech company Merrimack Pharmaceuticals. Subsequent work by Sorger' group led to a new understanding of stochastic fluctuation in cellular responses to natural ligands and drugs and to the development of a range of innovative computational methods, including the biochemistry-specific Python PySB and the natural language processing and knowledge assembly system INDRA. In 2011, Sorger oversaw the preparation of a widely cited White Paper for the NIH entitled Quantitative and Systems Pharmacology in the Post-genomic Era: New Approaches to Discovering Drugs and Understanding Therapeutic Mechanisms. This white paper envisioned the emergence of an empirically based but computationally sophisticated approach to the science underlying development of innovative new medicines. Sorger moved to Harvard Medical School to pursue these approaches by establishing the Laboratory of Systems Pharmacology, which merges laboratory experiments, computer science, and medicine to fundamentally improve drug discovery. Funding from the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center in 2014 and 2017 made the lab a reality and it now has 150 faculty trainees and staff from Boston-area institutions including Harvard University, MIT, Tufts University, Northeastern University and Harvard-affiliated Hospitals. Sorger's research involves multiple systems pharmacology approaches to cancer. The first focuses on preclinical pharmacology, the stage at which the molecular mechanisms of disease are studied and new drugs sought. An investigation into the causes of irreproducibility drug-response measurements led to a series of conceptual, computational, and experimental improvements in scoring drug action that are now widely used in academe and industry and have enabled the discovery of new mechanisms of action for existing drugs. Recent work has focused on deep learning as means to further understand complex protein networks and drug mechanisms. The second project involves developing methods to study drug mechanism at scale in patients through highly multiplexed tissue imaging of the biopsies routinely acquired from patients (particularly cancer patients). This has led to a very rapidly growing tissue imaging and digital histology program that is part of the US National Cancer Institute Moonshot and promises to substantially advance precision cancer care. The third project involves studying the clinical trial record to understand how successful and failed trials differ. An early success was the discovery that the great majority of approved combination cancer therapies exhibit independent action – not synergy. As Merck & Co. investigators subsequently realized, this fundamentally changes how immunotherapy combinations should be developed. The group is now engaged in a large-scale effort to digitize and make freely available all survival data from Phase 3 clinical trials. COVID-19 pandemic research To address the need for face masks, respirators and other personal protective equipment for healthcare workers in the early COVID-19 pandemic, Sorger, physician Nicole LeBoeuf and MD-PhD student Deborah Plana established the Boston Area Pandemic Fabrication team (PanFab). This team of students and alumni from MIT and Harvard teamed up with local industry and led a series of 3D printing and rapid-turn manufacturing projects to make face face shields, mask frames, powered air purifying respirators and new ways to sterilize and reuse 95 respirators. PanFab led to over a dozen open access publications and designs, including a thorough review of lessons learned and a hope that we can be better prepared for future pandemics.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deportation%20of%20the%20Iranian%20students%20at%20US%20airports
Deportation of the Iranian students at US airports
The series of Deportations of the Iranian students at US airports is an event that began in 2019 and continued until 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic began. In this series events, the Iranian students, despite having a valid student visa, were detained at US airports and later deported. These expels have been on the rise since 2019. According to the New York Times, from August 2019 to January 2020, at least 16 Iranian students were detained and deported after arriving at US airports despite having valid student visas. The American Civil Liberties Union reports that the largest number of deports came from Logan International Airport in Boston. Some deportees have been barred from re-entering the United States and will not be able to apply for US visas in the future. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran has called the expulsion of Iranian students from US airports "illegal and racist." The US government says visas do not necessarily guarantee entry into the United States, and people at border crossings are re-examined. These events decreased in 2021 with the coming to power of 46th US President Joe Biden. He also ended the law banning Iranians from traveling to the United States. Causes "Most of these Iranian students" say they were not informed of why they were barred from entering the United States. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a statement that the reason for preventing visa holders from entering the United States was health, crime and security concerns, in which case the applicant must prove otherwise. Deported students have been asked questions such as their views on political events in Iran and their activities on social media. Officials at the Border and Customs Administration told NBC reporters that the reason for some Iranian student's deportation was that US entry officers identified people with family ties to members of "terrorist" organizations and prevented them from entering US territory. Several deported Iranian students said they were questioned at the airport by officers about their compulsory military service and accused of having links to the Islamic Republic's military and security institutions. According to Carol Rose, the executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union in Massachusetts, the reasons for the deportation of foreign students remain a mystery. It's not clear if this is a Boston Customs Office decision or a decision made by the Trump administration, because all of this is done in secret. The increase in this trend may be due to the fact that many students are entering Boston, because Boston is one of the most important centers of higher education. Of course, some arbitrary agents may have made such a decision out of personal hatred of the Iranians. According to Michael McCarthy, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman, less than one percent of Iranian passengers arriving at Boston Airport were deported in 2019. He said the U.S. Customs and Border Protection has strict regulatory policies to ensure that the procedures for inspecting and reviewing passenger records are carried out within the framework of all constitutional and legal requirements. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection is committed to protecting the civil rights and civil liberties of any individual who encounters them. Its officers are trained to enforce US law uniformly and fairly, and not to discriminate on the basis of religion, race, ethnicity or sexual orientation. Political tensions or health conditions? This issue, which has become more acute as tensions between the United States and Iran escalate, is troubling for Iranian students, for immigrant advocates, and for American universities. According to Terry Hartle, Senior Vice President at American Council on Education, university campuses are increasingly concerned about what happens at entry ports of the United States, because the deportation of students is so unpredictable and seemingly random. These days, visas for international students are not valid until they enter the campus. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection said that due to changing health standards in COVID-19 pandemic and etc. new conditions have been added to the country's entry inspections, and there is no guarantee that visa holders will be allowed to enter the United States. But NGOs, immigration advocacy groups and lawyers say these situation is beyond normal. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection has not released statistics on the number of Iranian students who have been barred from entering the country and has been deported in 2019 and 2020, saying it could not release details due to privacy concerns. Concerns When an Iranian MSc student of Northeastern University was arrested upon arrival at Logan International Airport and on the verge of deportation, some people who had been informed of it, closed the entrance hall of the airport and with the placards written on them "Protect Iranian students" and "Stop discrimination against Iranians" showed their protest. They were overjoyed to learn that a federal judge had temporarily suspended any attempt to expel the Iranian student in a ruling, but when the case came to the forefront of national attention the next day, the Iranian student Mohammad Shahab Dehghani had previously deported against the order of the federal judge. It is a matter of great concern that the U.S. Customs and Border Protection has not complied with the Federal Court's ruling. According to Terry Hartle, the number of international students in the United States has been declining after a decade of steady growth. In addition to the fact that international students are no longer more willing to continue their studies in the United States than in the past, the process of deporting international students from the United States has become a concern for American universities. According to the latest government statistics, more than one million international students are studying in the United States, more than 12,000 of whom are Iranian.

Charlotte Hunter Arley
Charlotte Hunter Arley (April 2, 1912 – March 7, 2006) was a lawyer who participated in the Petticoats Trial, which was the first trial in Reno, Nevada where two female advocates faced off against each other. Personal life Arley was born in Springfield, Massachusetts to Ukrainian Jewish parents, who had emigrated to the United States in 1910. Her parents, Morris and Charlotte Hunter, had four children: three daughters and one son. Arley was an avid traveler who worked in the Yosemite National Park gift shop in the mid-1930s. She got married in Hawaii, where she was one of the last people to leave the island before the commencement of World War II. Her marriage would end in divorce. She later moved to Reno, Nevada to follow her father. In Reno, she met and married Jacques Arley, a former member of the French Resistance. They lived in Portland, Oregon for fifteen years, but she moved back to Reno after Jacques died. Legal Practice She graduated high school early, and at sixteen, Arley enrolled in Northeastern University School of Law, but she was too young to take the Bar when she graduated in 1932. She volunteered in a legal clinic, and worked three other jobs, until she was old enough to take and pass the Massachusetts Bar in 1935. After passing the Bar, she worked in the legal department at the Federal Land Bank, where she was the only female lawyer. After moving to Reno, she was admitted to the Nevada Bar in 1947. Only two other women passed the bar that year, and only two other women were practicing in Reno at the time. She was a plaintiff's attorney, who litigated divorce, personal injury, and criminal cases. She appealed several cases to the Nevada Supreme Court and secured several victories. In 1949, she represented Reno at the International Federation of Women Lawyers in Rome, Italy. In 1952, she began to represent a client in a matter that would become known as the Petticoats Trial. The press selected the name of a woman's garment because it was the first trial in Washoe County with opposing female advocates. The defendant was represented by Nada Novokovich, another female lawyer. It was also the first jury trial for both Arley and Novokovich. Arley's client alleged that he was pushed off of a bar stool and brought a lawsuit in state court. Arley won the case and the client was awarded $3,000. In 2007, Arley was honored with a plaque in the Judge John S. Belford's courtroom where the Petticoats Trial was argued. In 1989, Arley was the first woman to be honored as an outstanding woman attorney in Northern Nevada. She was selected unanimously. Arley continued to practice law in her eighties.
