| Synopsis: Resolution for the Creation of the Committee for Undocumented Students | |
| Date of Presentation: |
|
| Whereas, undocumented students are a significant portion of the undergraduate population that bring varied and diverse
perspectives to campus,
Whereas, undocumented students need to remain engaged on
issues happening on campus and within student government to
ensure that participation among this population occurs,
Whereas, it is critical that undocumented students have a
multitude of spaces to participate in shared student
governance of ASUCI and have an availability to get
resources from student government,
Whereas, due to the demographic population of undocumented
students relative to the amount of documented students it
is fairly common for ASUCI to allow for critical needs for
undocumented students to pass by,
Whereas, ASUCI has a duty to ensure that undocumented
students are receiving the resources necessary to be
successful on campus,
Whereas, it is important that ASUCI also directly remains
informed as to what the needs of undocumented students are
and thus develops a committee to be able to facilitate that
information between the two parties,
Whereas, the Dreamers Coordinators at the Student Outreach
and Retention Center have shown interest in working with
ASUCI in developing this committee that would be composed
of both undocumented students, professional staff from the
Student Outreach and Retention center, ASUCI officials, and
Legislative Council members,
Whereas, this committee can help serve the interest of
undocumented students by allowing immediate and dedicated
spaces and services to commit such panning to ensure that a
measure of efficacy reaches the undocumented student
population,
Therefore Let it Be Resolved, that ASUCI Legislative
Council creates an Ad Hoc committee for undocumented
students paired with the Dreamers coordinators of Student
Outreach and Retention Center to serve the needs of
undocumented students,
Let it be resolved that ASUCI Legislative Council appoints
At-Large Representative Miguel Olvera and ASUCI President Parshan Khosravi from its own membership to this
committee, and
Let it further be resolved that the ASUCI Legislative
Council will revisit this legislation by the end of Spring
Quarter 2016 in order to facilitate discussion on a renewal
process for this Ad Hoc Committee, and
Let it finally be resolved that this committee be named
“DREAMers Committee.” |
