University of Oregon Faculty Union Establishes Legal Defense Fund to to Protect Members Targeted by ICE Education By Lucille McNamara On Apr 26, 2025 Lillis Business Complex on the University of Oregon campus | Credit: Rick Obst EUGENE, Ore. — A fund has been created to protect Oregon University faculty members targeted for unlawful conduct by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The United Academics of the University of Oregon passed a union policy earlier this week to create a legal defense fund, declaring itself an official sanctuary union. The organization passed the sanctuary union policy with the help and guidance of multiple committees to create a legal defense fund and has invited the university’s administration to join them.
