We the faculty and staff of MSU, stand in agreement with President Simon’s calls for support of all students and our values of diversity. President Simon stated: “Our students and scholars come from around the world to become Spartans, and then return to the world to make it better. We must not allow fear to change the nature of who we are.”

We declare our solidarity with all our students, including those who are immigrants, refugees, or children of immigrants. We will not collaborate with federal forces or agencies seeking to establish the legal immigration status of students or facilitate their apprehension or deportation. We support completely their attempts to remain here as students pursuing a higher education and their drive to make a better life for themselves and contribute to the future of our country and the world.
