Dear UNM community member,
This past February, UNM moved toward making our campus safer for all students—particularly our undocumented students—when the faculty senate approved a resolution recommending that UNM “join the ranks of other universities and colleges by adopting the spirit, values, and principles of a sanctuary campus.”
We still have a lot of work ahead of us.
What will you do if ICE shows up to your classroom or office? Our students need your help. With the possible repeal of DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), our students are increasingly under threat. Come learn how you can support them!
The Sanctuary Campus Working Group is hosting an important KNOW YOUR RIGHTS training for faculty, staff, and instructors on September 8, 1:00-3:00 at the UNM Art Museum. We will learn about our rights and resources so that we can better advocate for our most vulnerable students. Faculty, instructors, and staff across the campus can mobilize a culture shift so that all students, regardless of immigration status, feel safe on campus.
Know Your Rights Training
September 8
1:00-3:00
