Duke Students Demand Fourth Amendment Campus

Duke University students and community members rallied for a Fourth Amendment Campus designation, aiming to safeguard students, faculty, and staff from immigration enforcement actions. Led by the Sunrise Movement, they called on President Vincent Price and the administration to adopt protocols from Siembra NC, which trains staff on responding to immigration enforcement. The demonstration was sparked by increased immigration enforcement in North Carolina, including Durham, where Customs and Border Patrol agents have been active, leading to lower school attendance and missed work. A graduate student expressed concerns about faculty preparedness for immigration enforcement scenarios on campus. Students plan to continue advocating with monthly demonstrations.
