Harper College Undocumented Immigrant Sanctuary Campus Petition
We, faculty, staff, students and community members of Harper College call on the college administration and Board of Trustees to make our campus a formal sanctuary for undocumented immigrant students. We ask that the College:
1) Call on all campuses constituencies to publicly support making the campus a sanctuary for undocumented students.
2) Guarantee student privacy by refusing to release information regarding the immigration status of our students and community members. Refuse to comply with immigration authorities regarding deportations or raids.
3) Assign a specific office which will assist students who lack the privilege of citizenship on a strictly confidential basis.
4) Guarantee in-district tuition to undocumented students.
5) Assure that all students receive a campus and classroom experience free of hostility, aggression, and bullying.

Why is this important?
Undocumented students at Harper College have the right to a high quality community college education without facing the threat of hostility, aggression, bullying, ICE raids or deportation.
