American University students push for sanctuary campus designation

American University students have passed a referendum urging the school to become a "sanctuary campus" to protect undocumented students from deportation. This includes not tracking citizenship and barring ICE from campus events. The referendum cites other universities with similar policies, like the University of Pennsylvania. It also calls for a rapid response team for immigration-related issues. University officials stated that student referendums are non-binding. President Jonathan Alger emphasized the need for careful assessment of legal requirements before making any decisions.
