Caution on Immigration

EdSource is running an article on the paradox of UC prez Napolitano now seen as the protector of DREAM students when, at the time she was hired, there were protests about her role in enforcing immigration laws during the Obama administration. See:

But maybe the key sentence in the article is:
"There are many uncertainties, including, for example, what if anything the university could do if ICE agents entered a UC campus without permission."

(The answer is zilch.)

One might also note that UC is not among the universities that filed a friend-of-the-court brief contesting the Trump administration's executive order banning certain immigrants and travelers:
