  • Cal State Los Angeles leaders allowed professors to move classes online this week due to growing fears of immigration raids amid safety concerns.
  • The move follows recent events in the L.A. area including a July 7 military operation at MacArthur Park, which heightened anxiety among students and staff.
  • Provost Heather Lattimer reiterated policies offering excused absences and makeup work for students facing extraordinary circumstances and permitted faculty remote work temporarily.
  • Ashley Gregory, a student organizer, said the virtual learning option should have come sooner and criticized the university for lacking a clear safety plan for possible ICE presence.
  • These adaptations signal ongoing concern for undocumented and immigrant students’ safety, while no ICE activity has been reported on Cal State L.A.’s campus so far.
