RIT Drop ICE: End RIT deals with ICE's corporate enablers Hilton & Enterprise.

RIT Admin

We students, faculty, and staff of RIT are appalled by ICE’s trampling upon the human rights of communities across our country. And we refuse to stand by as RIT continues to support this assault by doing business with corporations that are pivotal to ICE’s operations, including Enterprise, the primary provider of ICE’s vehicles, and Hilton, which houses ICE’s agents.

We call on RIT Administration to pledge an end to all contracts and deals with these two ICE-enabling companies by 1 May 2026. Our university and our tuition payments should not enable an operation that directly threatens members of our campus and nearby communities, erodes RIT's renowned global character, and severely endangers our large international student body.

Breaking our relationship with Enterprise and Hilton until they drop ICE is a powerful way to join people of all walks of life across this country in refusing to condone ICE’s campaign of terror.

A campus united cannot be defeated!

​We students, faculty, and staff are appalled by ICE’s trampling upon the human rights of communities across our country. And we refuse to to stand by as our school continues to be bound up with this assault by doing business with corporations that are pivotal to ICE’s operations, including Enterprise, the primary provider of ICE’s vehicles, and Hilton, which houses ICE’s agents.

We call on you to end all contracts and deals with these [put number of companies] ICE-enabling companies by May 1 2026. Our university and our tuition payments should not fund an operation that directly threatens members of our campus and nearby communities, erodes RIT's renowned global character, and severely endangers our large international student community​.

Breaking our relationship with Enterprise and Hilton until they drop ICE is a powerful way to join Americans across the country in refusing to condone ICE’s campaign of terror.
