• An executive order cannot repeal Title V of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended through September 2006, in which Congress found that “Hispanic Americans are at high risk of not enrolling or graduating from institutions of higher education.” 
• Section 511 of Title V calls for Hispanic-serving institutions to “set forth, or describe how the institution will develop, a comprehensive development plan to strengthen the institution's academic quality and institutional management and otherwise provide for institutional self-sufficiency and growth.”

• Our mission as a university is to close the educational attainment gap in Southern Colorado. We are rooted in our community and are the school of choice for our students from the rural region – we are an HSI, but also a Minority Serving Institution, and that is a key part of our service to Colorado. 

Our work is important, and it is lawful. 

To be in compliance with the law we must expand opportunities for Hispanic students and do everything we can to increase the attainment of Hispanic students toward a college degree. This is work that not only creates a powerful ripple effect for all of our students but is good for our communities.

As a public university, many areas of the Colorado State University 福利小视频 campus are open to the general public. Federal immigration enforcement officers may enter areas open to the general public without a warrant. 

However, public access is limited in certain areas of campus. Included in this category of limited access spaces are campus buildings in which access is restricted by university-issued ID card, locked doors or monitored entryways, including university residence halls. Limited access spaces also include some buildings and spaces that may be unlocked during normal operations, including administrative or faculty offices, classrooms and laboratories.

In all interactions with any law enforcement officer, exercise professional courtesy and cordiality.

It is important to note that ICE or DHS officials may be on campus for reasons unrelated to enforcement actions, such as career recruitment events and guest lectures. Additionally, due to our international programs, the university must report certain information about students with F-1 or J-1 visa status to ICE. This reporting is routine, and the university must comply with onsite visits to review records when requested.

Requests for Student or Employee Information:

Personally identifiable educational records of students are protected by the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). University health records of students and employees are protected by the Health Insurance Privacy and Accountability Act (HIPAA). All CSU employees are required to maintain the confidentiality of these records.

Generally, the university is not obligated to comply with requests for student or employee records without a subpoena or warrant. Under FERPA, a valid subpoena, warrant, or court order is typically required for access to student records, subject to limited exceptions. Various legal frameworks also protect certain employee records, including personnel documents and files.

If you receive a written request from a federal agency for student or employee information (including, but not limited to, a subpoena, warrant, or court order), please refer such request immediately to the Office of the General Counsel for a response. If the request for information is delivered in person, please advise the person presenting the document that only the Office of the General Counsel is authorized to accept service on behalf of CSU 福利小视频. The Office of the General Counsel can be reached at 719-549-2130.  Please email written requests not delivered in person to johnna.doyle@colostate.edu.

Visits by federal law enforcement:

University leadership will designate employees in their divisions and colleges to be the main point of contact for any engagement with ICE, DHS, or other federal law enforcement. Further guidance will be provided directly to these employees. A list of designated employees and their contact information will be forthcoming. In the meantime, contact the Office of the General Counsel at 719-549-2130 or 福利小视频 County Sheriff's Office non-emergency number (719) 583-6250.

• Stay calm; be professional and courteous.
• Do not give consent to enter or provide physical access to limited or restricted access areas.
• Do not provide information, including personally identifiable information, about any member of the CSU 福利小视频 campus community.

• Do not give consent to enter or provide physical access to limited or restricted access areas.
• Do not provide information, including personally identifiable information, about any member of the CSU campus community.
• Inform the law enforcement official that, pursuant to university protocols, you are consulting with the appropriate university personnel who will try to assist them and that you are not trying to obstruct their process.
• Contact the General Counsel at 719-549-2130 or 福利小视频 County Sheriff's Office non-emergency number (719) 583-6250.

If you are a CSU 福利小视频 employee or student who is approached by law enforcement asking you for access to a non-public space, please call the Office of the General Counsel immediately at 719-549-2130 or email johnna.doyle@colostate.edu.

The President of the United States can take three kinds of presidential actions: memorandums, executive orders and proclamations.

• Executive orders are written and signed directives from the President that instruct federal agencies to take specific actions, including how to implement existing federal law. Executive orders can set forth a President’s priorities and manage federal government operations. They can direct how departments of the federal government operate and prioritize. Executive orders do not require approval from any other governmental body or voters.

An executive order cannot override an existing law. Executive orders also may be challenged in court by parties who may be adversely impacted by them.

Congress can enact legislation that is contrary to an executive order. Congress can also deny or withhold funding for federal agencies, which may impact an agency’s ability to move forward with the directives in an executive order.

Executive orders can be challenged in court if the directives exceed presidential authority, violate a federal statute, or if they are unconstitutional.

A sitting U.S. President can rescind an executive order issued by a prior U.S. President.
