Upholding Our Mission and Protections Amid Ongoing Unrest
--
This week, we acknowledge the mounting unrest across the country related to recent
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities and the protests that have followed.
These developments have understandably stirred anxiety, particularly among our undocumented
students, immigrant families, and those who stand in solidarity with them.
We remain steadfast in our commitment to providing a safe, inclusive, and supportive
environment for all students and employees regardless of immigration status. Now more
than ever, our mission of education and service stands as a beacon of stability and
hope in uncertain times. Our classrooms, offices, and student services remain spaces
of empowerment, intellectual inquiry, and belonging.
We remind our community of Administrative Procedure 3415: Immigration Enforcement
Activities, which outlines district protocols in the event of federal immigration
enforcement actions on campus. In short:
- District personnel are not authorized to disclose protected student information without proper legal documentation.
- ICE agents must present a valid judicial warrant in order to access non-public areas of our campuses.
- If ICE or any law enforcement agency comes to campus, employees should immediately refer to our established ICE Response Guide posted athttps://clpccd.org/communications/ice/campus.php, which includes key procedures and printable fliers for reference.
We know many in our community are experiencing fear or uncertainty. Please know that
you are not alone. We continue to work in close partnership with our college Dream
Centers, student services, legal aid organizations, and community allies to offer
resources and support.
Let us move forward with compassion, vigilance, and a shared commitment to the core
values that define our district: belonging, collaboration, excellence, innovation,
integrity, and stewardship.
Sincerely,
Chancellor Ronald P. Gerhard, CLPCCD
President Dyrell Foster, Las Positas College
President Jamal Cooks, Chabot College
