More than 500 Stanford University students, faculty and staff members walked out of classrooms and ducked out of jobs Tuesday in a protest of the policies of Donald Trump, the latest in a wave of Bay Area and national demonstrations against the president-elect. Some of the Stanford dissidents, though, came with a concrete demand for the universitys administrators: investigating the possibility of the South Bay campus serving as a sanctuary against the sort of millions of deportations Trump has said hell seek as president. Hundreds of people students, faculty, staff and other supporters had as of Tuesday evening signed an open letter addressed to President Marc Tessier-Lavigne and Provost John Etchemendy urging the two leaders to immediately develop a protocol for making itself a sanctuary campus. Sanctuary cities, like San Francisco, have formally adopted policies for local law enforcement limiting their cooperation with federal immigration authorities when it comes to deporting individuals just for being undocumented. Emphasizing Stanfords support for the Dream Act, which would allow undocumented students to attend the school and apply for citizenship if passed by Congress, Lapin added that this is a time to reaffirm our commitment to free expression, diversity and inclusion. California passed its own version of the Dream Act in July 2011, granting undocumented students access to private scholarships to attend state schools. In an interview with CBS News 60 Minutes Sunday, Trump said he would deport or arrest two million to three million undocumented immigrants, though adding that he would prioritize those with criminal records.

> Stanford is a private university.
Ooops.
I thought Stanford students were supposed to be smart.
I don’t know why, but the headline made me chuckle. Isn’t “Sanctuary Campus” kinda redundant?

Brainwashed zombies.
Expel the students, fire the faculty.
I was an EE grad student at Stanford not long after the hammer murder. These student snowflakes arrive at Stanford with this delusional attitude inculcated in grade school, middle school and high school, not to mention at home. The rot arises early in the educational system, from the teachers who are unable to think for themselves, who push propaganda that was forced into their mush-for-brains, in college, into their students.
no fed money to college or students, then. The budget will be balanced in no time.
I was there and lived through that, cheering for Reagan all the way. We moved from Berkeley to an adjoining city to get away from the campus chaos and my husband got caught between the rioting hordes and the national guard on Telegraph Ave. when he stopped to put his check in the bank. I moved the bank account the next day.
My husband was interviewing a potential new hire that day from Cincinnati. The poor guy was dumbfounded at all of the excitement to be found in Bezerkeley/Oakland. He put his fears aside and moved to CA anyway.
Memories.
Smart, or rich. The dirty little secret with Sanford has always been that “pull” will get you in even if you don’t have the grades, and tradition will keep you there. They don’t want to dirty their hands kicking their privileged students out. At least that is what those in the know have always said. Of course, I went to UC Berkeley, so we have always looked down on Stanford. (out of jealousy?) We had to earn our grades. At least that is how it used to be.
Perfect.
Load up all the illegals on the Stanford campus.
See how mom and dad like paying the tuition...they’ll probably call the Border Patrol themselves.
I always love the part where he declares “negotiate what?”
I was a kid so don’t recall much of his time as governor.
Although we’d moved to Piedmont to get away from the radicals, we still attended the campus church from time to time (the Newman Center). The Catholic church, at that time, was undergoing many changes in worship form and they’d introduced “Prayers of the Faithful” which allowed anybody in the congregation to stand up and spontaneously offer his own prayer. It was a particularly solemn Sunday because (during a riot the previous week) a man, watching out his window, had been shot and killed by the National Guard.
So, it was not a surprise when somebody stood up and offered a prayer for “James Rector who lost his life...”. But, the next following prayer was from somebody who stood up and asked us all to pray for “John XXXX who is having finals...”. Everybody laughed. It wasn’t long after that that they stopped allowing people to speak out at random during the Mass.
Interesting times. People have asked us how come (as Bezerkeley alums) we could be so conservative. I always tell them that it’s because we lived through all of the turmoil and watched those various groups wreak havoc on all around them.
RR was a wonderful Governor.
