Universities nationwide, includ- ing Florida International Univer- sity and Swarthmore College, sub- mitted similar petitions in the last month requesting their campuses become sanctuaries. Before the bill made it to the student body senate fl oor, activ- ist groups including the Our State Flag Foundation and Mississippi Rising Coalition shared leaked im- ages of an early draft on Facebook. The Associated Student Body did not discuss the resolution during its Tuesday session but did release a statement later explain- ing why the proposed legislation was rejected. ASB’s letter said the public- ly leaked documents exist only in draft form and have yet to be passed by the ASB Senate Com- mittee on Rules or the ASB Senate as a whole.
