Support for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Students
As Chancellor Houston wrote to all faculty, staff, and students in his letter dated September 6th after the president’s decision to rescind DACA, the Yuba Community College District and Woodland Community College are committed “to serving all students regardless of their race, ethnicity, national origin, religious beliefs, gender, sexual orientation, identity, medical condition, disability or immigration status … Ours is a generous and compassionate nation and peoples; the Governing Board trustees, just as are all of us, are firmly committed to supporting all of our students and our employees in the pursuit of their individual liberties and educational goals.”
