New reference cards for responding to immigration officials in “limited access” spaces
These cards describe steps to take in the event that immigration officers request access to a limited-access space such as a classroom when class is in session or a laboratory.
Dear Colleagues,
Following up on the information shared last year (email from CPEVC Lori Kletzer dated February 19, 2025), I am writing with a reminder regarding the status of instructional and other “limited access” spaces in relation to immigration enforcement.
The University of California Office of the President maintains a detailed FAQ on this topic. We encourage you to review Question 2, which explains how classrooms (when in session) and other specific campus locations can constitute limited access spaces.
To ensure our newer instructors have this information and that returning faculty have a fresh copy, we are again distributing the reference cards designed to be kept in a wallet or phone. These cards describe steps to take in the event that immigration officers request access to a limited-access space such as a classroom when class is in session or a laboratory.
How to get your cards:
- Digital: Linked here are two printable sizes (small and medium) for your convenience. They are available in English and Spanish.
- Physical: Printed cards are now available for pickup at the front desk of Kerr Hall. Departmental or divisional representatives are welcome to pick up a batch for their entire team.
We hope these resources continue to be a helpful tool in ensuring our instructional spaces remain focused on teaching and learning.
Sincerely,
Paul
