Dear Members of the York College Community,
We are aware of and share in the anxiety, questions and concerns of our immigrant and international student community in light of recent events. To assist in seeking out resources to address these concerns, we have added an “International and Immigrant Student Resources” page to the York College website, accessible at https://www.york.cuny.edu/student-development/immigration-resources . We will continue to add resources to the page as they are identified. York College supports and reminds our community of the recent comments of the Chancellor:
CUNY is deeply committed to protecting our undocumented and other non-citizen students to the fullest extent of the law. We will closely adhere to guidance on safeguarding the rights of immigrant students shared by our state leaders. We will continue to observe existing CUNY policy that requires a judicial warrant for any federal or local law enforcement official who comes to a campus seeking to make an arrest. Should anyone on a campus face this scenario they should contact Public Safety or Campus Legal Affairs offices in the campuses for guidance. Please also take note of this Travel Advisory from the University, regarding students planning international travel in the coming weeks or months, including during Spring Break.
