Item Number: 6 Legislation Number (B: Bill, R: Resolution): R51-06
Author:   Siddharth Baranwal   Second:  Alvin Phan
Synopsis: Resolution for the Creation of the Committee for Undocumented Students
Date of Presentation: 2015-09-29
 

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.”
