The Struggling Sanctuary Campus Movement
Briefly

American University's student government has passed a referendum to designate the university as a sanctuary campus, a movement echoed by protests at other institutions such as the University of North Carolina and the University of Texas. This call for sanctuary status aims to protect vulnerable student populations, driven in part by incidents of federal immigration enforcement impacting students. Colorado State University's petition has rallied thousands of signatures, reflecting significant student concern over compliance with immigration actions. Columbia University faced legal challenges after an arrest of a graduate, highlighting tensions between universities and federal immigration policies.
While I await legal decisions that hold the futures of my wife and child in the balance, those who enabled my targeting remain comfortably at Columbia University.
It is of the utmost importance that students, staff, and community members see CSU committing to protect the most threatened students in this community.
