Dear Members,

200 members of the four campus unions gathered to meet with the Chancellor, the Provost and other members of upper administration on Tuesday, February 18th. We wanted to share our concerns and fears about federal government threats to members of our community on the basis of immigration status, gender identity, and race, and attacks on higher education including cuts to federal grant funding.

Dear Member,

The FSU International Faculty Caucus is meeting on Friday January 31, 10-11 am on Zoom to discuss concerns and raise questions related to immigration enforcement procedures anticipated on higher education campuses. We are open to all questions and concerns but this meeting is particularly focused on implications of this policy for international students, faculty and staff who are visa holders.

Dear Member,

With the start of the new Trump administration, officers enforcing immigration laws will now be able to enter and make arrests at schools, churches, and hospitals. The safety of all community members – students, faculty, librarians and staff—is paramount.  We are committed to making sure our classrooms and campus spaces remain places of gathering and engagement where all are welcomed and feel safe.
