The University of Connecticut (UConn) is offering a course focused on “immigrant justice,” which has students partner with “activist groups,” but the school will not disclose which groups are involved, citing a risk of them being targeted by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The UConn Latino and Latin American Studies department is offering a one-credit course, entitled, “LLAS 3990: Organizing for Immigrant Justice” during the spring semester, according to a report by the school’s student-run newspaper,
The course will reportedly have students partner with Connecticut activism groups through an immigration activism project.
“Students will have the opportunity to work with local activist groups in Connecticut to participate in organizing projects that support immigrants,” said Anne Gebelein, associate director of UConn’s El Instituto.
