Document Summary

There are important constitutional limitations on adding constraints related to cooperation with federal immigration enforcement on many types of federal funding. Schools may limit access of immigration enforcement officials who do not have a warrant to private property owned and controlled by the university. Courts have found common rooms with restricted access and dorm rooms to be considered private. Students and staff can work together to map the university, clarify the full scope of private areas and ensure privacy is protected to the full extent of the law. Schools may adopt policies to limit collaboration and certain kinds of information sharing with immigrant enforcement agencies. There are laws that protect the release and sharing of student information. Because of ferpa, schools may not release students" information to immigration officials unless there is a judicial order or subpoena.
