This Presidential committee was created, in part, to address the 5th Circuit Federal Appellate decision which upheld the invalidation of DACA. The president recognized the potential negative impact it may have on our students. The committee’s mission is to support DACA, undocumented, and immigrant students to ensure they have the proper resources and guidance to address the unique problems that may arise while earning a degree.
