Should your college become a "sanctuary campus"?

In the immediate aftermath of the Trump triumph, the students most vocally upset by the November surprise were LGBTQ members of our campus communities.  On many campuses, students, faculty an administrators held various kinds of support sessions.  These led on many campuses to a Safety Zone campaign characterized by the wearing of safety pins.

Starting more quietly, but now assuming the more prominent position, is the "Sanctuary Campus" movement.  In my stomping ground,  the University of Pennsylvania has stepped out in front with an email:

"The University of Pennsylvania will not allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) / Customs and Border Protection (CBP) / U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on our campus unless required by warrant.  Further, the university will not share any information about any undocumented student with these agencies unless presented with valid legal process."

Further:

"The University of Pennsylvania will continue to advocate passionately for comprehensive immigration reform.   [President Gutmann] has repeatedly communicated to our nation's leaders her support for undocumented students, the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, and the continuation and expansion of DACA, President Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy, [and] will continue to forcefully speak out in support of these critical issues."

Interestingly, President-elect Trump holds an MBA from Penn.  Last night in Cincinnati he held a rally in which he proclaimed that only people who "love us" will be admitted into the US from now on, and "not those who hate us."

The first paragraph of the Penn missive, quoted above is key: ICE officers will only be allowed on campus if they have a warrant.  This points up the fact that the Sanctuary Campus movement may be pushing the envelope of immigration laws.  At least one website claims, "

Lawyers for the “sanctuary campus” movement are warning that schools could lose federal funding if they try to block the deportation of illegal immigrants.

Only one current funding program has immigration-related conditions, but the attorneys warn that the incoming Trump administration could add new programs or revise existing ones to require compliance with immigration enforcement efforts.
