Message from President Roberts: Update on international travel

February 10, 2017 by Leave a Comment

Dear Colleague,

On February 3rd, a federal judge in Seattle granted Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson’s request for a temporary restraining order to immediately halt implementation of President Donald Trump’s Executive Order on immigration nationwide. On February 9th, a federal appeals court ruled the restraining order remains in place.

In the coming days and months, there will be a lot of legal discussion between the Department of Justice and district judges regarding the Executive Order, the Temporary Restraining Order, and other potential legal challenges. This legal discussion could involve the U.S. Supreme Court. At this time, we do not know what the final outcome will be nor how long it will take.

Until the issue is resolved in the courts, it may be best to advise students from the seven identified countries – Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen – to contact the International Education office (or their consulate) if they are considering traveling outside the United States.

Currently, U.S. Customs and Border Protection is complying with the Temporary Restraining Order so students who are U.S. Citizens or Green Card holders are able to travel without restriction until the legal challenges have been resolved.

In the coming weeks, there will be times when we have may more questions than answers. We will continue to monitor the status of this lawsuit and provide updates to keep you informed.

Respectfully,

Cheryl
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President

Reaffirming our Community Standard ­ Message from President Roberts

February 8, 2017 by Leave a Comment

Dear Colleague,

Recently, our nation has witnessed a large amount of civic engagement and the passionate exchange of many divergent viewpoints. As a public community college, we are obliged to both uphold the right to free speech and expression and affirm our identity as a respectful and inclusive learning community.

As always, all of us at the College, including our Board of Trustees, want our campus to remain a place of open inquiry and learning, with leadership that models the ideals set out in our Community Standard. While we may be uncomfortable with differing points of view, our common standard is to hold these conversations in a respectful manner.

Should you observe any acts of harassment on campus, I ask that you do the following three things:

– Alert Safety and Security (or law enforcement if needed)
– Report the incident to the Community Standard email box we have established: communitystandard@shoreline.edu
– Share the incident with your supervisor as needed

It is important that the College be able to track any incidents of harassment or vandalizing of college property (including posters), so that an appropriate investigation and response can be made, and any trends can be identified.

At the same time, I want each of us to consider that conflicting or controversial viewpoints are not inherently a violation of our Community Standard. In fact, the ability to share different points of view is at the heart of free speech and expression. Therefore, it is important for us to understand that speech, expressions, or opinions that some people may find offensive are not necessarily in violation of any protected rights or the College’s shared standard of behavior. What our Community Standard affirms is the respect we expect when we engage in lively debate and the actions we will not tolerate as a campus community.

This week, I am working with a group of faculty, staff, and administrators to plan some college-wide conversations around navigating freedom of speech, expression, and our Community Standard. As a College, we must remain steadfast in our commitment to creating a respectful, welcoming environment for all.

Respectfully,

Cheryl
Cheryl Roberts, Ed.D.
President
