This appears on the website of St. Louis University, a Jesuit university and my alm mater.

It is a statement of support for "undocumented students" i.e. invading aliens who are breaking the law.

From the article:

"A statement from the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities (AJCU) included 27 U.S. institutions, while more than 70 presidents signed a separate statement from the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities (ACCU).

The ACCU statement reads, in part: "Our college and university communities are home to students from around the world who seek to contribute to American society, to the life and mission of the Church, and to their own formation and growth by pursuing undergraduate and graduate degrees.”

The AJCU statement notes: "Grounded in our Catholic and Jesuit mission, we are guided by our commitment to uphold the dignity of every person, to work for the common good of our nation, and to promote a living faith that works for justice. We see our work of teaching, scholarship and the formation of minds and spirits as a sacred trust.”

In addition to emphasizing the institutions’ faith-based missions, both statements express support for a federal policy known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which allows certain immigrants who came to the United States before the age of 16 to apply for protection from deportation and a work permit."

End excerpt.

Christians are first guided to obey the laws of their country, unless those laws are clearly in opposition to the laws of God. Legal immigration requirements are old, established, and in no way violate the laws of God. Those laws are being broken by SLU and the rest of the Jesuit college system here.

But that is no surprise from a university that invited rioters and looters to invade their campus then signed an accord with them to promote their lawless goals.

SLU is clearly losing students, as this article obliquely hints at:

"Research conducted by both outside agencies, as well as within SLU, indicated that SLU could increase the underrepresented student population by broadening recruitment beyond traditional high school students.

More locally, the enhanced enrollment plan is to include "multiple access points” for first-generation college and disadvantaged students to become Billikens. The new transfer articulation plan will start with St. Louis Community College in the launch of the 2+SLU program, which will operate as a bridge and college completion effort for all area high school graduates. Serving as a dual admission program, students will take prescribed classes at any St. Louis Community College campus. Participating students will be admitted to SLU as long as they maintain a minimum college GPA of 2.75 in at least 10 college courses. A GPA of 3.25 will make a student scholarship-eligible"

End excerpt.

St. Louis University hired a radical president named Fred Pestello, and he has been systematically transforming SLU into the Berkeley of the Midwest. Slu is going to have to suffer in enrollment and alumni donations and force the Board of Trustees to fire this creep before things will improve.
