A policing report from an AU advisory committee said that “diversifying the police profession” is a priority as “many [police forces] remain predominantly white and male.”

American University also refuses to assist federal immigration authorities. The school publicly declared campus officers “will not participate in joint immigration enforcement efforts” and instructs the campus community to “immediately notify” the university of ICE sightings. AU’s policies align with over 35 colleges with “Sanctuary Campus” policies that limit cooperation with federal authorities to protect illegal immigrant students.
