\u201cStockton Safe\u201d provides a safe zone for all students, faculty, and staff regardless of immigration status. The university, to the fullest extent permitted by law, protects the identity and information of all members of our community.<\/p>\n
Stockton\u2019s approach aligns with resolutions of the New Jersey Legislature, affirming that college campuses should \u201ccontinue to serve as a safe zone and resource center for students and their families threatened by immigration enforcement or discrimination.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Stockton Safe was developed with student leaders in Spring 2016.<\/p>\n The university provides appropriate legal support and services to Stockton students based on their immigration status.<\/p>\n In the enforcement of civil immigration laws, the Stockton Police, faculty, and staff do not inquire about or record an individual\u2019s immigration status and they do not actively participate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Civil Border Patrol activities.<\/p>\n Any engagement with ICE on campus will be required to follow due legal process, including requiring a valid subpoena or warrant, or court order, where appropriate.<\/p>\n The university supports \u2018sensitive locations\u2019 policies, which stipulate that enforcement actions generally are not to take place at schools, churches and similar sites. Stockton will also educate the university community about these policies.<\/p>\n As a public institution, Stockton\u2019s public spaces are open to the general population. However, residential dormitories are subject to university rules\/regulations that protect privacy and enhance security by limiting who, when, and for what purpose non-student\/residents are allowed access. Federal authorities are not allowed into residential dormitories without a valid warrant.<\/p>\n Immigration status is not now, nor will it be in the future, a factor in student housing decisions. Stockton does not discriminate in any student housing decisions.<\/p>\n The university will invest in more faculty and staff training to support undocumented students. The provost has convened a faculty work group to develop and implement workshops for faculty and staff to assist them in supporting diversity and inclusion on campus. The group will specifically address the unique needs of undocumented students.<\/p>\n Stockton\u2019s support for undocumented students also includes extending in-state tuition rates to them, which the university has done since the New Jersey Dream Act became law and Stockton will continue to do so.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cStockton Safe\u201d provides a safe zone for all students, faculty, and staff regardless of immigration status.
