California State University’s Los Angeles campus will allow its faculty to move classes online, work remotely, and excuse student absences, citing fears stemming from federal deportation operations targeting illegal immigrants in the area, the university confirmed July 11.

“Faculty are being supported in making case-by-case adjustments for students in extraordinary circumstances,” Cal State L.A. spokesperson Erik Frost Hollins told The Epoch Times. “Similarly, deans and department heads are supported in making case-by-case adjustments for faculty and staff.”
