A brief description of the institution’s policies and programs to welcome, support, and protect asylum seekers, refugees, and/or undocumented immigrants:
The CSU is committed to providing a safe and welcoming learning community for all students. As part of the CSU system, CSU Fullerton abides by the following:
-Campus policies shall make clear that the CSU will not enter into agreements with state or local law enforcement agencies, ICE, or any other federal agency for the enforcement of federal immigration law, except as consistent with California Government Code §§7282 et seq. or as required by law.
-Campus policies shall affirmatively state that CSU Police Departments will not honor ICE immigration hold requests, unless doing so is consistent with California Government Code §§7282.5 or as required by law.
-Campus policies shall avoid the use of the term “sanctuary,” a term for which there is no standard definition or common understanding and which, if used, can lead to confusion and misunderstanding. Rather, utilizing terms such as ‘safe and welcoming’ is accurate.
-Campus policies shall not state that the campus is adopting the “Trust Act” per se, or agreeing to comply with its provisions because the Trust Act does not apply to the CSU. There are features of the Trust Act that may be in a campus policy.
-Campus policies shall clearly articulate that individuals will not be contacted, detained, questioned, or arrested solely on the basis of being or suspected of being an undocumented immigrant, except as required by law. In drafting such policies, do not make reference to ethnicity, race or citizenship. Instead, simply reflect that no individuals should be contacted, etc. based solely on actual or suspected immigration status.
