Ivy league school with an acceptance rate of 14.1% demands the creation of fund for illegal immigrant students…
Cornell University students hosted a protest to demand the college provide funds for all illegal immigrant students.
The protest, organized by the Cornell Coalition for Inclusive Democracy, drew about 250 students and faculty members, reports Heat Street.
The protesters want the school to provide special funding for all immigrant students, even those not protected by the Obama administration’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) executive order.
“Our endangered community members still lack explicit assurance that the institution that took them in will protect them,” professor Russell Rickford said. “That’s shameful.”
The group also wants Cornell to provide on-campus housing and shelter for immigrant students who have been warned from traveling overseas. It wants the college to fight for legislation that protects illegal immigrants.
It also called on the campus police to not release information about illegal immigrant students unless absolutely necessary.
