Allies at NYU

  • NYU Sanctuary Coalition​: “was formed by students, faculty, staff, and alumni across many schools and departments who believe that NYU as a “private university in the service of the public good,” should lead by example by declaring NYU a Sanctuary University. By becoming a Sanctuary Campus, the University demonstrates solidarity with the most vulnerable among us who are being targeted by the new administration.”
