G-32-2.2 Employee Responsibility with Federal or Out-of-State Law Enforcement Operations

Adopted: 7/8/2026

Except as required by state of federal law, College employees and agents are prohibited from, when acting in the capacity of a College employee or agent, intentionally assisting, cooperating with, or allowing any College time, money, facilities, property, equipment, personnel or other resources to be used to assist, facilitate, or cooperate any operation executed by any federal or out-of-state law enforcement agency, if the employee or agent is aware that the operation is intended to:

  • Identify or impose civil or criminal liability upon any individual, group, association, organization, corporation, business, or partnership based on activities protected by Article I, section 8 or 26, of the Oregon Constitution, of the First Amendment to the United State Constitution;
  • Identify or impose civil or criminal liability upon any individual, group, association, organization, corporation, business, or partnership based on membership in, or support of a person based on a person’s membership in, a class of persons protected under the Oregon or United States Constitution or other state or federal law, including race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, marital status, disability or age; or
  • Identify or impose civil or criminal liability upon any individual, group, association, organization, corporation, business, or partnership based on political, religious or social view, associations, or activities.

If an employee is approached by any law enforcement agency or immigration authority for assistance in investigating, apprehending or arresting individuals, the employee shall refer that agency to the Designated School Official (DSO).

The DSO will determine the nature of the request for assistance and whether the action requested is required by the out-of-state or federal law, a judicial subpoena issued as part of a court proceeding, or other compulsory court-issued process. All requests for assistance will be evaluated consistent with existing College policies and procedures.

The DSO will document and report all out-of-state or federal immigration agency on-site activities to the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission as soon as it is reasonable to do so.
