Overview

• The university emailed students to announce postponement of the Sep. 18–19 job and STEM fairs and a shift to smaller, career-focused boutique events.
• Administrators confirmed that U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the FBI had registered for the original fairs after concerns spread on social media.
• Officials said reports that federal agencies would occupy recruiter booths were inaccurate, though two federal agencies had signed up to attend.
• Cal Poly Pomona stated it cannot prohibit ICE, CBP or DHS from participating in career activities because it is a public institution.
• Provost Terri Gomez said the campus uses a pre-approved employer program and that some boutique events may still include law enforcement, noting a student body with many Latino and first-generation students.
