Protect Undocumented Students at Harvard
Dear Harvard University Administration,
Harvard University prides itself in its mission to prepare a body of
educated citizen-leaders for our society through its liberal arts
programming and its standing as the oldest institution of higher learning in
the United States of America. As the preeminent institution of its kind,
Harvard has remained committed to diversity, as stated in its mission, and
to its aim “to remove restraints on students’ full participation” in the
Harvard community. Today’s election announcement makes this mission more
pressing than ever, especially for the undocumented student community which
has been particularly under threat throughout this election cycle.
Harvard’s mission demands that the administration move beyond releasing a
statement and implement concrete actions that protect all Harvard students—
especially those members of our community who have been targets of
discrimination during a hate-filled and anxiety-inducing election cycle.
Thus, we ask you: what does the election of Donald J. Trump mean to the
undocumented students currently enrolled at Harvard? Trump’s first change
to immigration policy will in all likelihood affect these students, many—if
not all—of whom currently benefit from President Obama’s executive order:
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). This order currently
safeguards students from deportation, grants them work authorization, and
enables them to obtain driver's licenses. Hence, DACA has opened doors for
employment, greater participation in America’s democracy, and a unique
sense of belonging. Not only is Trump an imminent threat to DACA, but he has
also threatened to block and overturn progressive immigration policies.
President-elect Donald J. Trump now possesses the power to materialize his
words with the support of our Congress, making the repeal of vital
immigration policies not only possible, but frighteningly plausible.
For many years, Harvard has admitted undocumented students, students who
were brought to the U.S. as children and whom have been designated as
unlawful. In addition to experiencing obstacles by virtue of their
intersectional identities, undocumented students face additional challenges
given their legal status. Not only are undocumented students ineligible to
work, but they are also ineligible for federal aid, most private assistance,
and work-study programs. Undocumented students are forced to navigate a
complex legal framework on their own. Thus, Harvard’s lack of a centralized
support system further complicates the experiences of undocumented students
, ultimately leaving their responsibility to support students to Harvard
College Act on a Dream, a student-run organization.
In admitting students from at-risk and marginalized communities, Harvard has
the obligation to provide these members of our community with an equitable
and just education which requires the creation of spaces and the allocation
of resources that would support them and allow them to excel at Harvard
University and beyond. Harvard prides itself on its diversity and inclusion.
Let’s then support our diverse population in this hour of increase fear
and need.
We do not write to you, the administration and the University community at
large, in search of sympathy or symbolic support. Thus, we urgently demand
that you directly support our undocumented students at the College and in
graduate programs through the following action steps, many of which are long
overdue:
Immediately hire a new Dean of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, and
equip them with the necessary funding and infrastructure (i.e. full time
staff) to implement necessary changes to ensuring the safety, mental health,
and intellectual development of all student regardless of identity, race,
socioeconomic background, sexual orientation and gender identity, and
immigration status
Immediately hire a full-time Assistant Dean under the Dean of Diversity
and Inclusion to specifically support the undocumented/DACA-mented students
at the college and the graduate students
Institute an Office for Undocumented Student Support to serve as a
resource center for undocumented students and students of mixed-legal status
families, actively defending students from the aforementioned threats given
the imminent, divisive political climate.
Expand existing funds and establish a distinct budget for undocumented
students and students in mixed-status families to cover fees associated with
immigration-related legal proceedings
Hire a mental health professional who has cultural competency in
working with politically marginalized communities and trauma-related issues
of familial separation and the chronic threat of deportation
Proclaim Harvard Memorial Church as part of the network of sanctuary
churches that provide a refuge for students facing deportation proceedings
Significantly increase the percentage of tenured faculty of color,
specifically those teaching courses related to Ethnicity, Migration, and
Rights, and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. Courses added should
engage with the undocumented experience in a way that does not place the
burden of instruction on undocumented students.
We do not need words of comfort, your pity, or your sympathy. We need action
that demonstrates this University’s dedication to concretely support all
of its students, regardless of their immigration status. Undocumented
students live among us, contribute to our community, and participate in
intellectual life at Harvard and beyond. Harvard is responsible for their
safety, healthy development, and intellectual freedom as well as for their
safety from threats of violence, family separation and deportation. We need
action now, and we will be following up diligently with Harvard community
members, including students, faculty, alumni, and you, the administration.
Signed,
Students, Faculty, Staff, Alumni, and All Concerned Members of the Harvard
Community and General Public | m****o

哈佛虽然左，但是精。天天当傻逼出头鸟，怎么四百多年屹立不倒引领美国政治方向的。
而且哈佛本身也比较多元化。极右政客Ted Cruz，还有保守派大法官Scalia、Kennedy
等都是哈佛法学院出来的。
