Columbia University's graduate student union is demanding the establishment of a 'sanctuary campus' where public safety officers are barred from patrolling 'organizing spaces, including classrooms.' The union also wants the school to provide free 'legal support' for student visa holders, destroy 'all records' related to campus protest participants, and sue the Trump administration 'and other anti-immigrant actors.' The demands come as the union negotiates with Columbia over its collective bargaining agreement, which is set to expire in June.
