UNDOCUMENTED STUDENT RIGHTS 

As a public institution, OSU follows Oregon’s Sanctuary Promise laws. This means that, except where required by federal law, OSU will not voluntarily assist with federal immigration enforcement efforts. 

Oregon Sanctuary Laws say: 

• University, state and local law enforcement agencies within Oregon cannot investigate or interrogate individuals for immigration enforcement purposes. 

• All voluntary requests from federal agencies to the university related to immigration enforcement will be denied, documented and reported to the Oregon Department of Justice. 

• The university does not release confidential student or employee information to federal immigration enforcement agencies except as required by law, valid warrant, subpoena or court order.
