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.

Well, if they are not an American university perhaps Harvard should offshore its operations to Abu Dhabi or perhaps a new green-field site in Mauritania.

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!!!!

Is Faust looking for a new job yet, or is she protected?

No because she is saying it won’t be “labeled” a sanctuary campus because that will draw attention to actually being a sanctuary campus.

No way in hell these libs change their spots so quickly.

F-you, Harvard.

I know there’s 1000’s of universities in the USA, and we’re not hearing about them, we only hear about the ones with extreme anti-American/Anti-white/Anti-male students, policies, professors, programs.

But there’s certainly enough big schools to cause very real concern, and the students that are churning out from these liberal indoctrination camps are pure retards.

Harvard SHOULD show real leadership, but will they? My skepticism tells me “no chance in hell”.

Misleading headline!

She's actually very much for a de facto sanctuary university:

a term she argued has no legal significance, could actually further endanger undocumented students at Harvard.

The simple way to put an end to sanctuary campuses is to withhold Federal funding for any university that shelters illegal immigrants and refuses to cooperate with ICE officials. Research universities get a lot more revenue from government grants (NIH, NSF, DoD etc) than from tuition, so if there's any possibility these will be withheld, not a single university will be a "sanctuary campus."

The same applies to sanctuary cities that require Federal dollars for their infrastructure and social services projects.

Or maybe the only way she could get away with doing the right thing is to phrase her explanation that way.

” ... protections for undocumented students.”

No, officer. I don’t have a receipt for this expensive electronic device. It is an undocumented purchase.

There’s a cloying term I won’t miss after Trump puts down the hammer: `undocumented’. Or DREAMer. C’mon January.

We’re all way past tired of the left and their cuck henchmen thinking we’re buying their lying.

All it takes is just one incident of an illegal attacking/assaulting a student on campus......do you know how much that opens up the university to a pricey lawsuit?

Even the liberals are seeing this.
