EWU petition seeks ‘sanctuary’ status

Some faculty, staff and students at Eastern Washington University are petitioning the school to become a “sanctuary” campus following Donald Trump’s presidential victory.

“In the wake of recent political events and the imperiled status of undocumented students on this campus and in this nation, we – the undersigned Eastern Washington University students, faculty, staff, and alumni – ask you to implement a plan to declare our campus a sanctuary for undocumented students, staff, and their family members who face imminent deportation,” the petition reads.

As of Thursday afternoon, there were more than 240 signatures/ Eli Francovich, SR. More here.
