支持 for DACA students

Email from President Davidson

亲爱的走鹃,

I’m extremely disappointed to be writing to you today regarding the recent federal court ruling that halted the processing of new Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals applications. I feel for our affected students who have yet again had their future clouded by legal proceedings out of their control.

第一个, I’d like to clarify for our DACA students: Friday’s ruling held that for the time being, the federal government can continue to accept new DACA applications and accept and approve DACA renewal applications, only that it cannot approve new DACA applications. This means current DACA recipients can maintain their status for the time being, but those with pending applications or those wishing to apply won’t be considered at this time.

While this decision does not immediately end DACA, at least for those with DACA status already, thousands with pending initial applications, many of whom waited years to become eligible to apply, are again stuck in limbo. I know many of our DACA students and alumni are emotionally exhausted from all the court cases and failed legislation that have yet to provide any kind of permanent status for Dreamers.

But 密歇根州立大学丹佛’s support for our students is unwavering, regardless of immigration status. 皇冠官网网站是 partnering with higher-education and civic leaders to urge lawmakers to provide permanent protections for DACA recipients and Dreamers, and we will continue to offer resources and support to our Dreamer students.

在密歇根州立大学丹佛分校, we are invested in the success of all students and the values of diversity and inclusion that we espouse. The University was the first in Colorado to offer a special tuition rate for undocumented students and joined an amicus brief in support of DACA filed in the Supreme Court. 密歇根州立大学丹佛 also continues to back a stipend for immigrant students in crisis, the 梦想家应急基金.

We will continue to advocate for our Dreamer students and keep our community informed as we do. I want to thank our dedicated 移民服务 Program staff especially for continuing to support our students through the years, and I encourage students to 主动联系他们 with any questions you have.

真诚地,

珍妮·戴维森博士.D.
