Harvard Law checking in. Here is an excerpt from the letter signed by signed by many "Students, Faculty, Staff, Alumni, and All Concerned Members of the Harvard Community" that was written to Harvard's Drew Faust before he sent that email tonight (the one in OP's post)

Among other things, the letter states "...we urgently demand that you directly support our undocumented students at the College and in graduate programs through the following action steps, many of which are long overdue:

• Immediately hire a new Dean of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, and equip them with the necessary funding and infrastructure (i.e. full time staff) to implement necessary changes to ensuring the safety, mental health, and intellectual development of all student regardless of identity, race, socioeconomic background, sexual orientation and gender identity, and immigration status
• Immediately hire a full-time Assistant Dean under the Dean of Diversity and Inclusion to specifically support the undocumented/DACA-mented students at the college and the graduate students
• Institute an Office for Undocumented Student Support to serve as a resource center for undocumented students and students of mixed-legal status families, actively defending students from the aforementioned threats given the imminent, divisive political climate.
• Expand existing funds and establish a distinct budget for undocumented students and students in mixed-status families to cover fees associated with immigration-related legal proceedings
• Hire a mental health professional who has cultural competency in working with politically marginalized communities and trauma-related issues of familial separation and the chronic threat of deportation
• Proclaim Harvard Memorial Church as part of the network of sanctuary churches that provide a refuge for students facing deportation proceedings
• Significantly increase the percentage of tenured faculty of color, specifically those teaching courses related to Ethnicity, Migration, and Rights, and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. Courses added should engage with the undocumented experience in a way that does not place the burden of instruction on undocumented students...."
