  • Undocumented Experiences on a Sanctuary Campus Elaine C
    Allard et al. “A Promise to Support Us:” Undocumented Experiences on a Sanctuary Campus Elaine C. Allard1 Jonathan Hamel Sellman Brandon Torres Sydnie Schwarz Freddy Bernardino Rebecca Castillo Swarthmore College Abstract This exploratory study examines the experiences of undocumented students at Hawthorne College, an elite, liberal arts institution with sanctuary status. Drawing primarily on a questionnaire and qualitative interviews, it considers 1) whether undocumented and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) students on a sanctuary campus experience the characteristic psychosocial difficulties that mark the lives of undocumented students elsewhere and 2) the extent to which institutional policies mitigate these challenges. The research reveals that sanctuary is neither a panacea for undocumented students’ concerns nor is it a meaningless symbol. Students are protected from some typical barriers to college success, experience other barriers in classic ways, and face still other constraints quite differently in a privileged, high- pressure educational environment. The study adds to emerging research on the undocumented experience in higher education and offers preliminary insights into the promises and limits of the sanctuary campus movement.

While 94% of undocumented teenagers attend high school (Migration Policy Institute, 2014), only 5-10% enroll in college, and even fewer graduate (Gonzáles, 2015).

  • How Do Faculty Experience the University Mission?
    1 How Do Faculty Experience the University Mission? A Descriptive Case Study of One University’s Approach to Its Core Values A thesis presented by Colleen Lynette Keirn To The School of Education In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education in the field of Education College of Professional Studies Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts December 2017 2 Abstract This research study captured the stories of 11 university faculty about their lived experiences with the university’s social justice mission. Key findings revealed: (a) faculty of color described experiencing racism on campus, (b) faculty of color felt marginalized on campus, (c) faculty developed their understanding of the mission over time, (d) the mission was experienced differently by faculty of color than by White faculty, (e) peer group support was vital for retaining faculty of color, and (f) there was little evidence of collective overt challenges to the dominant ideology of the university. The study used a case study methodology to understand how tenured and tenure-track faculty made meaning of and understood a university’s mission at a private university in the western United States. Campus documents were analyzed and 11 faculty members were interviewed. Data were analyzed using the in vivo coding method and were interpreted through a critical race theory framework. Results indicate that more can be done by universities in the United States to create inclusive campuses and to retain faculty of color. Suggestions for actionable steps are offered. These results are significant because they inform higher education leadership that the work of implementing their mission is never over and that the higher education community must continuously strive to be more inclusive, equitable, and accessible.

  • 2 CUNY Law Students Awarded 2017
    2 CUNY Law Students Awarded 2017 Skadden Fellowships Written by JV Staff Created: December 21, 2016 Annemarie Caruso (’17) and Maggie Gribben (’17) Third-year CUNY School of Law students Annemarie Caruso and Maggie Gribben have been awarded Skadden Fellowships for 2017. The Skadden Fellowships, founded in 1988 by the law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom in honor of the firm’s 40th anniversary, are intended to fund 30 new graduates nationally in full-time work for legal and other advocacy organizations, and encourage them to build public service careers. Described as “a legal Peace Corps” Skadden Fellowships are awarded for two years to law students committed to public interest work, as they embark upon specific projects at sponsoring organizations. Gribben will be representing low wage workers at Justice at Work in Boston, MA. She will implement a new model called “wage court” to help workers go after stolen wages more effectively. Caruso has been placed at Main Street Legal Services at CUNY School of Law where she will advocate for students living in public housing in western Queens who face educational obstacles such as classroom removal, grade retention, in-school suspension, out-of-school suspension, and unmet special education needs. “I am honored to become a Skadden Fellow and challenge instances of educational disruption that students face,” said Caruso. Since the program’s inception, 12 CUNY Law graduates have served as Skadden Fellows. This time two graduates from the same class have been selected, in a single year. “I am so proud of Annemarie and Maggie. They each came to law school with advanced degrees and a record of advocacy in the area they will work in.

  • Universities As Global Advocates: Empowering Educators to Help Refugees and Migrants
    Universities as Global Advocates: Empowering Educators to Help Refugees and Migrants A Mapping of the Landscape Report by the University Alliance for Refugees and At-Risk Migrants (UARRM) This report was compiled by Bernhard Streitwieser, Jane Roche, Kathryn Duffy-Jaeger, and Bronwyn Douman, with guidance from Kyle Farmbry and Colleen Thouez. 1 The University Alliance for Refugees and At-Risk Migrants (UARRM) Definitions The Academy - Academia/members of universities and colleges. Asylum seeker - An asylum seeker is an individual whose application for international protection or refugee status has not yet been determined (UNHCR, 2018a). At-risk migrant - The University Alliance for Refugees and At-Risk Migrant’s (UARRM) definition for “at-risk migrant” aligns with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees’ (UNHCR, 2017a) broad concept of “migrants in vulnerable situations,” which includes all migrants (regardless of status) who “may find themselves in vulnerable situations” due to reasons of a “situational” or “individual” nature. The former “...aris[es] from the conditions in which movement takes place, or from conditions in a country of migration,” while the latter “...relat[es] to particular individual characteristics or circumstances.” For brevity, we include in this concept asylum seekers, undocumented immigrants, individuals with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status, Stateless persons, or any migrant finding her or himself in one of the two overlapping categories of vulnerability. Refugee - According to Migration Policy Institute (MPI, 2017), refugees are individuals granted international protection due to their inability or unwillingness “....to return to their country of origin or nationality because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.” Frontline Country/State - These countries border or are proximal to war-torn countries.
