Make Green Mountain College a #SanctuaryCampus
Green Mountain College Administration
If we are not prepared to resist, a Trump Presidency could devastate many of our communities. All students must unite to expose and actively resist Trump's enforcement regime.
We are fighting to make our campus a #SanctuaryCampus and are part of the movement to establish spaces of resistance and protection for our country's most vulnerable people - including undocumented immigrants, Muslims, Black people, Queer people, and all people of color.
The future is not yet written, and our communities need hope. And for people to feel hope and believe in a better future and a just America, they must see it on the streets, in demonstrations, and on the news. They must hear countless stories of resilience.
Join the #SanctuaryCampus movement and pave the way for this resistance.

As students, faculty, staff and alumni of Green Mountain College, we urge you to affirmatively stand with immigrants who study, live, and work at Green Mountain by adopting a public, written policy communicating the following protections:
Green Mountain College refuses all voluntary information sharing with ICE/ CBP across all aspects of the college/university to the fullest extent possible under the law;
Green Mountain College refuses ICE physical access to all land owned or controlled by the college;
Green Mountain College prohibits campus security from inquiring about or recording as to an individual’s immigration status or enforcing immigration laws or participating with ICE/ CBP in actions.
Green Mountain College does not use e-verify.
Green Mountain College prohibits housing discrimination based on immigration status.
Green Mountain College will support undocumented and DACA students’ equal access to in-state tuition, financial aid, and scholarships. And will support the ability of qualified immigrant students to enroll and sustain their attendance, including by doing everything within our power to use institutional funds and scholarships to fill any gap created by discriminatory laws that exclude immigrant students from paying the in-state rate or accessing ordinary financial aid and scholarships on equal footing with other students.
Green Mountain College will publicly support the continuation of the DACA program.
This policy shall be enforced by all college or university staff and all contractors and subcontractors and their employees working on property owned or controlled by the college.
Green Mountain College commits to ongoing dialogue with the students about additions to the college or university policy and support for community efforts that protect immigrants who study, live, and work at the college and their families and the community.
