2 sources|Diversity: 63%Center blind spot|

Universities face questions about protecting immigrant students amid broader immigration enforcement concerns. Coverage of this issue splits sharply along ideological lines, with left-leaning outlets focusing on institutional safeguards and student vulnerability, while right-leaning coverage emphasizes immigration enforcement cases involving serious crimes. The absence of centrist coverage leaves a significant gap in balanced analysis.
