New law requires notice when ICE is confirmed on campus
AI-generated · every claim is source-linkedOn Thursday, November 6, 2025, Fresno State President Saúl Jiménez-Sandoval announced a new immigration-enforcement alert system to comply with California's just-enacted Sending Alerts to Families in Education (SAFE) Act, which requires CSU, UC, and community college campuses to notify the campus community when ICE is confirmed on university property. Fresno State's policy commits to a campus-wide email (including date, time, and general location) once enforcement activity is confirmed. The system explicitly does not use the Bulldog Text Alert SMS system, reserving SMS for imminent threats to health or safety. Fresno State is a Hispanic-Serving Institution where roughly 55% of undergraduates identify as Latino.

Dear Fresno State Community, This message provides information about the Sending Alerts to Families in Education (SAFE) Act, a new California law that requires colleges and universities to notify their campus communities if immigration enforcement activity is confirmed on university property. The law is now in effect, and we want to be clear about how Fresno State will meet these requirements. What the SAFE Act Means for Fresno State If immigration enforcement activity is confirmed on campus, Fresno State will: Send a campus-wide email alert to all students and all employees Share the date, time, and general location of the activity Provide a link to resources and support To avoid unnecessary alarm, confirmation will occur before a notice is sent. How Notifications Will Be Sent Email notification Website Banner, with real-time updates posted online Social Media Notice Please be aware that our Bulldog Text Alert system is reserved for emergencies only, such as immediate threats to health or safety. Immigration enforcement activity alone will not trigger a text alert, unless there is an active safety emergency that requires an emergency response. In those rare situations, the university would follow standard emergency procedures. To ensure that you will receive emergency alerts, please confirm that your cell phone number is listed in the mobile field in your MyFresnoState portal under the Self-Service tab. Support and Resources We understand that news related to immigration enforcement—whether or not expected—can feel stressful or uncertain. Last Spring, we launched a comprehensive immigration site that highlights supportive services and resources. Additional support is available for anyone who needs it, including: Student Health and Counseling Center Employee Assistance Program Dream Success Center CSU immigration legal services CSU Resources Fresno State serves a diverse community, and we remain committed to supporting the success and well-being of all students and employees. Our goal is to communicate clearly, act responsibly, and provide assistance to those who need it. We will continue to keep our campus informed and supported. Sincerely, Saúl Jiménez-Sandoval, Ph.D. President

Hazardpresent25/25

Impactpresent22/25
Final assessment
Impact is present at 22/25. Stressful or uncertain, unnecessary alarm, well-being, counseling. Three passes saw only hypothetical future impact.
What the hazard could do to the people in its path. Beyond naming the threat, a complete warning conveys its potential consequences or severity, such as that a tornado can level buildings or that a leak could be explosive, so recipients grasp how much danger they are in. Research on warning message content finds that a concrete impact statement helps people personalize their risk and act sooner.
