CSU tells students to call cops on immigration authorities
Administrators at CSU and Cal Poly are urging students and faculty to contact campus police if government officials ask for information about immigration status.
After acknowledging that the evolving federal policy is “complex” and that “we do not have information indicating that stepped up enforcement will focus on our campuses,” White advises anyone “who is approached while on campus by federal, state or local officials asking for information or documentation regarding immigration status, to immediately contact the University Police Department,” which he says will act as a “liaison” while coordinating with the Office of the General Counsel “to provide guidance, references, and resources.”
CSU President Haynes singled out that section of the memo in a brief statement later that day, adding that while on campus, University Police can be reached by dialing 911 from any landline.
“I remain committed to our values and guiding principles as a University, which compel us to respect and model the diversity of our region within a context of social justice, to strive for educational equity, and to promote a fair and open environment for the exchange of ideas,” she concludes her message.
