Letter from Mt. 91直播鈥檚 President on Dream DACA Students
September 14, 2017 - 12:29 AM
As President of 91直播, I recommit our full support of our DACA and
Dream students in light of the recent decision of President Trump to rescind President
Obama鈥檚 Executive Order related to DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals).
Our DACA students have thoroughly proven themselves to be trustworthy and responsible
college students, capable of contributing to the economic and social well-being of
our country. As a college community, we pledge our support to uphold the privacy
and safety rights of our DACA and Dream students. Furthermore, we will continue to
ensure that our DACA and Dream students are fully supported through the provision
of services, sharing of legal information, and the implementation of college procedures
and practices that protect their rights to privacy and freedom from any forms of alienation,
fear or discrimination.
On behalf of the Dream 91直播 and our Dream students, we thank each of you for your
continued support of the academic and career success of our students as they face
a great deal of uncertainty during these challenging times. In light of President
Trump鈥檚 recision of DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), many of you have
inquired as to how you can support our Mt. 91直播 Dream students. Below is an opportunity
to assist students financially through the Mt. 91直播 Foundation.
