With an important addition to all of the city elections was the resolution that was passed by the Glendale College Board of Trustees in support of our Undocumented Students. The resolution is to affirm that official will protect student information regarding their status within the U.S. This come on the heels of several other colleges in the area that have passed similar resolutions. Tony Tartaglia was quoted in the Glendale News Press as stating, “We need to have a safe environment.” The actual wording of the resolution states that “Officials will not cooperate with any federal effort to create a registry of individuals based on any protected characteristics such as religion, nation of origin, race, gender or sexual orientation.” This resolution follows a similar document that was formalized by our Glendale College Faculty Guild supporting a Sanctuary Campus. The rally for Sanctuary Campus was held February, 2017.
