Faust Says Harvard Will Not Be a 'Sanctuary Campus'

By Hannah Natanson, CRIMSON STAFF WRITER

UPDATED: December 7, 2016, at 12:12 a.m.

University President Drew G. Faust said Harvard will not designate itself a “sanctuary campus” at a Faculty of Arts and Sciences meeting held Tuesday afternoon in the Science Center.

Faust said she is worried calling Harvard a "sanctuary campus," a term she argued has no legal significance, could actually further endanger undocumented students at Harvard. She said she has met with members of Congress and other federal officials to discuss protections for undocumented students .

"It also risks drawing special attention to the students in ways that could put their status in greater jeopardy," Faust said. "I believe it would endanger, rather than protect, our students, and that is not something I am willing for this institution to do."

Faust spoke on the subject in response to questions history professor Walter Johnson raised during the meeting. He asked what steps the University will take to protect its undocumented students and other minority groups he said are threatened by President-elect Donald Trump’s proposed policies.

Johnson urged Faust to support labeling Harvard a sanctuary campus, citing the University’s global prominence and insisting the decision presented an opportunity for Harvard to demonstrate moral leadership.

Lovely. Since you have access through your Harvard online alumni association perhaps you could confirm the mystery regarding BHO.

Incoming FReep Mail.

The #1 job of the President of Harvard University is to protect the Federal dollars at all costs.

The “spice” must flow.

All else is secondary.

>> further endanger undocumented students at Harvard.

WHY are there undocumented students at Harvard? There should not be any. They should be following all federal laws.

Since obviously they aren’t, all federal funding should be yanked immediately.

BTW, do you suppose one of these undocumented students is being prepared (like 0vomit was) to be installed as a future President? I say shut it down now. No more fake Americans on the ballot.

I’m a Harvard alum.

Harvard should show REAL leadership by helping us Americans rid ourselves of illegal immigration, and especially of the islamic menace!!!!

islam is our enemy, and has NO RESPECT whatsoever for the Western tradition of scholarship represented by our great universities!!!!

I am not sure this is still the case

Sounds like Operation Faust and Furious. Running undocumented students across the campus while saying it’s not a sanctuary campus.

Sorry to quibble with a detail, but she is a woman. Her name is one of those which could be given to either sex, which creates confusion.

It also risks drawing special attention to the students...

He can justify it any way he wants to the media. The real answer is: "We'll lose our federal grant money and any future way of even applying for it."

This decision was purely financial, don’t let anybody tell you different. The Harvard president is comfortable telling us that, so he’s going to talk around it and say a bunch of stuff without saying anything.

Harboring known fugitives. Forfeiture of assets.

....n-i-c-e take.......

These antediluvian academics calling for sanctuary campuses are ancient history....the days are long gone when those on the public payroll can pick and choose which laws they will obey.

PRESIDENT TRUMP AND AG SESSIONS TAKE NOTE:

In 1980, the alert Georgia General Assembly was concerned about “the increasing sophistication of various criminal elements on the public payroll,” so the state adopted the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), patterned after a similar federal law.

RICO is often used to try to prove that a legal business was being used for illegal means, and, in the beginning, was used to prosecute drug traffickers or organized crime members.

But in recent years, prosecutors have applied RICO to government officials and those on the public payroll accused of using their offices for personal gain (and other nefarious purposes).

At the time the Georgia Rico law was implemented, it involved some 28-29 various former and current Atlanta public school academics, including a Superintendent. All are in jail. The academics had falsified official reports, took bonuses illegally, gulled parents, and various other crimes.

To bring a case under Georgia’s RICO law, there must be at least two underlying felonies — such as fraud, bribery, witness tampering (among others). RICO allows prosecutors to include multiple defendants charged with various crimes in the self-same indictment, and to charge that they were allegedly part of an ongoing criminal enterprise.

Harvard should be prosecuted for advancing the policies of a foreign country.

REALITY CHECK--A provision in the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) is intended to prevent the govt from co-opting United States citizens; EAR proscribes using US citizens as instrumentalities to advance a foreign government's foreign policy.

The Export Administration Regulations (EAR) apply to all "U.S. persons" (defined to include individuals located in the United States and their foreign affiliates).

The provisions are intended to prevent United States citizens and companies being used as instrumentalities of a foreign government's foreign policy.

Offending persons are subject to the EAR law when their activities relate to the sale, purchase, or transfer of goods or services (including the sale of information) within the United States or between the United States and a foreign country.

============================================

==============================================

AFFIDAVIT BY THE GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO
IN A SWORN AFFIDAVIT TO A TEXAS COURT, MEXICO
SWORE THAT MEXICANS ON US SOIL ARE MEXICAN CITIZENS.

A sworn affidavit by Mexico/s Consul General to a Texas court asserts that Mexico/s official govt policy is to encourage its poor people to migrate here illegally in order to access our generous welfare system

The Mexican consul's sworn testimony asserts that: "My responsibilities in this position include protecting the rights and promoting the interests of my fellow Mexican nationals, and, that the main responsibility of consulates is to provide services, assistance, and protection to Mexican nationals abroad."

=========================================

A footnote states that Mexican nationality is granted to children born abroad of a Mexican born parent. IOW, anchor babies born in the US retain parents Mexican nationality.

The highly advanced Georgia culture is thankfully several steps ahead of the rest of us (above).

Nice use of the word "antediluvian". A word like that (I had to look it up) is perfect to ruffle the feathers of the bats and Marxist monks who live in those Ivory Towers.

Sadly my daughter went to a Little Ivy League college and caught the Harvard flu.

Trump signals a shift. The mastermind factories that produced Robert Reich and Barack Obama must be totally unhinged that a man who graduated from a military high school will take the reins of power.

Trump will not genuflect to the Saudi Prince, the Catholic pope, nor the Harvard deans.

William Buckley once said, "I would rather be ruled by the first 50 people in the Cambridge phone book than the faculty of Harvard."

Time for We the Deplorables to wrest power away from the hands of the Harvard/MIT masterminds who brought our Republic to the brink of ruin.

Shhhhhh. Let’s not clue them in yet as to what’s coming.

The poor deluded babies’ll get all fretted up in those ivory towers.
