Cal Poly Pomona has postponed a planned career fair after word spread online that federal immigration agencies would be recruiting on campus.

Administrators made the decision on Monday, Aug. 25, to postpone the career fair. It was originally scheduled for Sept. 18-19. A new date has not been announced.

“This adjustment allows the university time to thoughtfully reformat both events in response to student and community feedback, ensuring our career programming better serves the needs and aspirations of our students while remaining in compliance with our legal obligations as a public institution,” a post from the office of the university’s president reads in part.

As of fall 2024, 54% of Cal Poly Pomona’s 25,255 students identify as Hispanic or Latino , according to the university.
