UC student activists demand Napolitano offer sanctuary to undocumented students
Yesterday, College Insurrection reported that students at UC Berkeley are considering a “no confidence” vote on Janet Napolitano. Now, the plot thickens.

Student Activists Demand Napolitano Make UC System ‘Sanctuary For Undocumented Students’
Former Homeland Security secretary Janet Napolitano hasn’t even officially begun her job yet as president of the University of California system, but already she has been presented with a list of demands from pro-illegal immigration student activists across the state, most notably calling for Napolitano to make the system a “sanctuary for undocumented students.”
The sanctuary status the students’ demand letter calls for would prohibit system officials from using resources to assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement with arresting students, nor would administrators be allowed to disclose information regarding an individual’s immigration status to the feds, or use the popular E-verify for UC employees.
As a sanctuary, the system would also ”promote the employment of undocumented students on campus by providing them with an ID Number that will function as a work permit,” states the demand letter, signed by what its authors call a “statewide multicultural progressive coalition.”
Other demands called for in the letter include: annual mandatory training for UC police officers, so they learn “the rights of undocumented communities to prevent harassment and criminalization”; the prohibition of riot police on campuses, including S.W.A.T. teams, during student acts of civil disobedience, protests, rallies, and sit ins; force campuses statewide to develop courses on undocumented/immigrant experiences; and hire staff that specializes in undocumented student affairs.
A UC system spokesman told The College Fix officials have no comment on the demand letter at this time.
Ever since Napolitano was approved over the summer as the new president of the University of California’s 10-campus, 234,000-student system, pro-illegal immigration student activists have decried the selection, saying she was responsible for record-breaking deportations.
“We are demanding that the UC become a sanctuary university, a place where we are all safe to learn,” according to an online petition circulating among pro-illegal immigration student activists across the state.

Comments
So – in short they want:
1) Ignore laws they don’t like – but enforce laws they do.
2) Social engineer (and threaten the career of) all police officers who follow the law.
3) They start with a list of demands, and then also demand that should they get out of hand and get violent, that the Univ have a policy, in writing no less, that the Univ cannot call the police to break up these protests. Wow.
4) Oh, and present ONLY ONE SIDE of the immigration debate – as I’m sure that after such demands are implemented that anyone who decides to, say, exercise their 1st Amendment rights and disagree vocally with their ideology will be drummed right out of the Univ system and / or expelled.
They want a totalitarian state where they are in control completely. A new generation of statist elitests who believe the law should be what they want it to be, not be applied to them, and that “unlawful thought” is punishable by denial to an education and all that that entails.
