Cal State Will Not Help Deport Undocumented Students Under Trump, Chancellor Says [Largest Public University]
(11/16-2016) by Rosanna Xia
In the face of Donald Trumps pledge to start large-scale deportations, California State University Chancellor Timothy P. White reaffirmed on Wednesday the university's commitment to fostering a learning community that is "safe and welcoming" for its thousands of students who came to the U.S. illegally.
As the largest public university system in the nation, Cal State's mission to provide accessibility to higher education and embrace the diversity of its 470,000 students remains unchanged, White said during a Board of Trustees meeting in Long Beach. Unless forced to by law, he said, Cal State "will not enter into agreements with state or local law enforcement agencies, Homeland Security or any other federal department for the enforcement of federal immigration law."
"Our police departments will not honor immigration hold requests," he added. "Our university police do not contact, detain, question or arrest individuals solely on the basis of being
a person that lacks documentation."

Cut Cali fed funding. Then let the Mexicans immigrants make Cali great again.
Well, they say that until federal funding starts to be pulled.
Good job explaining it.
Agreed. That was my point. The Cal State University system depends on federal funds to operate. No funds = no university. And since the state is completely locked up by the democrats, there is no blowback for Trump or the Republican Congress.
To wit, the California Legislature is now over 70% Democrat. They have a super majority and can pass any damn bill or measure they please which means higher taxes, more social services, more illegal aliens, more of everything that liberals love. But there is one caveat: California depends on federal funds more than any other state, so while the Democrats are pass legislation to everything and anything they wish at the state level, they cannot actually bring it to fruition without federal funds.
Trump has got them by the short and curlies.
