A recent email from Sacramento State's administration aimed at reassuring undocumented students prompted backlash from faculty who found the messaging insufficient and unclear. Faculty members expressed concern regarding the message that suggested they not intervene should ICE agents enter classrooms. Some faculty sought clarity on policies allowing ICE presence, and one professor openly criticized the administration's stance, claiming it was anti-immigrant. The issue underscores the challenges higher education faces in maintaining student support amid shifting immigration policies introduced by the Trump administration.
The careful approach taken in the campus email was not a lack of support for undocumented students, but rather a necessary caution due to legal ramifications.
Araceli Feliz criticized the leadership, stating that they embody an 'anti-DACA, anti-immigrant, anti-indigenous' stance, showing faculty discontent with the administration's communication.
