In a public statement, he pledged to protect vulnerable individuals: The University will do everything it can to protect the most vulnerable among us. The mass deportations promised by president-elect Trump threaten our students who may be undocumented and are a cause of great concern to many in our community.
Roth added that the Republican's previous administration, during which 1.5 million deportations were carried out with many families separated, had shed light on what may come, and that the college was preparing for the worst.
As we said after the election of 2016: Wesleyan will remain committed to principles of non-discrimination, including equal protection under the law, regardless of national origin or citizenship.
Although Trump has stated that initial deportations will target individuals with existing removal orders or criminal records, his broader objective is the removal of 11 million undocumented immigrants.
