NYU students call for ‘sanctuary campus’ and ‘race-based scholarships’ at university senate rally
A New York University (NYU) student group organized a protest rally on Thursday, demanding that school officials declare NYU a “sanctuary campus” and supporting “race-based scholarships.”
The Nov. 13 protest, organized by Students for a Democratic Society during a university senate meeting, also advocated for many other left-wing positions, including a call for the school to reject President Donald Trump’s compact on higher education, protections for transgender-identifying students, and an increase in black student enrollment.
During the rally, protesters chanted “Education is a right! Not just for the rich and white!” and “No Compliance! No wall! Sanctuary for all!”
The protesters called for the school to reject Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and offer “gender-affirming care.”
“We demand a sanctuary campus where NYU will commit to no collaboration with ICE and work to prevent student deportations,” one student speaker said, according to Fight Back! News, a socialist platform. “We demand a pledge to protect trans rights, specifically protection of access to gender-affirming care and safe spaces for trans students.”
“We demand a commitment to increasing Black enrollment,” the student added. “We demand a commitment to protecting our cultural programs, no cuts or defunding of ethnic studies, cultural groups and race-based scholarships.”
The protesters also accused NYU officials of failing to combat President Trump’s efforts to reform higher education.
“Trump has launched multiple attacks against higher education and marginalized students. NYU, rather than stand by its students, instead has complied with many of these attacks showcasing their cowardice,” a student protester stated.
Another student said, “we must share our dissent of NYU’s choice to be silent, and their choice of profit over the people they serve We must make our voices heard so that they can question why they sleep so well at night knowing that every day, they are failing the promise of a diverse, safe campus delivered to their students.”
