Statement from Board of Regents Chancellor Betty A. Rosa on DACA

Along with Native Americans who emigrated centuries ago and thosepeoplewho were brought to this landagainst their will to serveas slaves, American society consists of immigrantsand descendants of immigrantsfrom all over the world. Those children and young adults who are currently under the protection ofthe DACA executive order have already contributed positively to the American way of life and have vast potential for future contributions that may surpass all expectations. We need to see our elected leaders at all levels of government do the right thing and strengthen the fabric of our country, nottear it apart.
