"There were students who stayed on the campus burning the records, so the Taliban couldn’t see who the students were and go after them and their families."

- Jill Derby, Former Democratic State Party Chair, references a New York TImes article recounting the harrowing experience of students at the American University in Kabul — who were considered infidels by the Taliban — finding refuge in the Iraqi city, Sulaimaniya. She was involved in helping over 100 students find refuge after Afghanistan fell to the Taliban, through high-level connections and raising finances through her position with the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges.
