ACPA: DACA
ACPA—College Student Educators International invites members and colleagues to sign this statement of support for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Program and Undocumented Students. As of 2016 December 2, more than 400 college and university presidents from public and private colleges and universities across the U.S. have signed statements in support of DACA. Currently, there are 11.9 million undocumented immigrants residing in the U.S. and, as a result of the 1982 Supreme Court case Plyler v. Doe, undocumented children are legally entitled to free public K-12 education (Olivas, 2012). An estimated 65,000 undocumented high school students graduate every year (Passel & Cohn, 2008). ACPA members are doing our part to provide information, increase awareness and sensitivity to the needs of these students within campus communities and to create cultures of advocacy rather than adversity and avoidance. We need your help to support students in achieving their dreams of full inclusion and participation in American society. Please sign your name or that of your organization below.
