UC Immigrant Legal Services Center

UC Berkeley junior Osirus Polachart is running independently for ASUC Senate to change the campus admissions process, reform housing and provide undocumented students with additional support and services.

The University of California sent a letter to students and faculty Tuesday urging undocumented students under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program to renew their permits if they are set to expire between Sept. 5, 2017 and March 5, 2018.

There shouldn’t be any question of an immigrant’s right to live here, to go to school here or to make a home here. But because the political reality continues to undermine students’ legal statuses and lives, the University of California and the Berkeley campus must step up and expand their support services.
