A Message from President Carlson regarding
the executive order on immigration
|
|
Luther College reaffirms our commitment to being a global learning community that welcomes, supports and celebrates people of all faiths and backgrounds.
To enhance support for students affected by the recently revised executive order, I have appointed a Coordinated Campus Response Team, which will be in place through summer 2017. This ad hoc task force will coordinate the college’s response to the needs of students as they arise and advise me concerning our ongoing response. In particular, we are working on ways to assist affected students as they plan for summer 2017. The response team is charged with serving as the central point of information regarding services available to affected students and for related communication with Luther students, faculty and staff.
The response team consists of Terry Sparkes, Corey Landstrom, Amy Webber, Anne Edison-Albright and Pedro dos Santos. You can find their contact information in the
campus directory. In addition to providing support on campus, we will continue to work through our higher education associations to advocate on behalf of students at the state and national level.
I also want to share college practice regarding immigration status. Luther College does not consider immigration status when making admission decisions; Campus Safety and Security does not collect immigration status information from students; and the college does not disclose private information about our students, faculty or staff unless specifically required to do so by law.
The care and support of all members of the Luther community—regardless of religion, national origin or citizenship status—is an essential guiding principle for all of us. Luther College stands firmly committed to our mission to embrace diversity and to be a community that cares for all God’s people.
