From President Frank H. Wu:
I want to affirm the college’s support for the January 31 message from the University leadership distributed to students, faculty, and staff regarding concerns about federal actions and policies relating to immigrants, members of our LGBTQ+ community, recipients of federal research grants, and others. With particular respect to the subject of law enforcement individuals and access to persons or data, the college will continue to adhere to New York State Guidance on Safeguarding the Rights of Immigrant Students (January 2025) shared by our state leaders.
Queens College will also continue to observe existing CUNY policy that requires a judicial warrant for any federal or local law enforcement official who comes to a campus seeking to make an arrest. Any law enforcement officials attempting to enter campus or obtain data should be referred to the Office of the General Counsel (718-997-5725) or the Office of Public Safety (718-997-5911/5912) at Queens College for guidance.
With regard to classroom protocol, faculty should refer to paragraph two of this email and the guidance link in paragraph one.
Here is additional information previously distributed about programs and services available for immigrant students. These include:
Please know that Queens College deeply values all of its students, faculty, and staff. We will, of course, continue to monitor CUNY, state, and federal policies going forward.
