Glen Grunberger and Daniela Ugaz from UA Against SB1070 addressed the Arizona Board of Regents today during the call to the public.
The grad students both urged the board to take a stand against SB1070.
Ugaz said the regents should publicly decry SB1070 to promise to students that they stand for diversity.
Grunberger said that fear, hatred and devisiveness are at the root of the law, and said those are contrary to university ideals of free expression, free thought and diversity.
If that didn't get a rise out of them, he added: "This state has become a net importer of Nazis."
Update at 5pm:
Regents chairwoman Anne Mariucci said she thinks SB1070 is worthy of discussion and public comment by the regents, and she said the topic could be on a future regents agenda.
