In three separate letters addressed to each of California's higher education administrators, Lt. Governor Newsom proposes:
1. the affirmation of UC, CSU and CC's as "Sanctuary Campuses"
2. a review of FERPA, to protect student data from abuse by the Federal Government
3. review police and campus administration policies of cooperating with immigration enforcement
4. codify a commitment by the UC, CSU, and CC's to not share students' personal information with the Federal government.
We offer this guide and equity tool as an integral part of this new strategy and a stepping stone toward a new ecosystem for California Higher Education.
