Description:

The Taliban takeover in Afghanistan is threatening the lives of scholars there. This comes after years of new freedoms and an expansion of educational rights in Afghanistan. Some UCLA faculty members are hoping to send their Afghan colleagues a lifeline. They’ve launched an initiative to place some Afghan scholars at UCLA. But the plan will require raising $100,000 by September 30.
