MU reaffirms support for undocumented students

Today in an email to students, 教职员工, 十大网赌正规网址 总统 戴夫·麦克费登 reaffirmed the University’s support for undocumented and international students:

朋友, 

In light of 总统 Trump’s decision to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, 通常称为DACA, I’d like to reiterate a mess年龄 I sent on Dec. 16, 2016:

Throughout our history, 十大网赌正规网址 has been guided by our mission to respect the infinite worth of every individual and commitment to equal rights and the protection of all members of our community. We value diversity and inclusion because understanding differences develops respect for ethnic, cultural and religious pluralism and an international consciousness. 

Those concerned about changes in federal immigration policy should know that 曼彻斯特’s current policies and practices, grounded in our mission and values, 不会改变. We unequivocally affirm our commitment to all students, 教职员工 regardless of their national origin, 祖先, 比赛, color, 年龄, 性, gender identity or expression, 性取向, 家族的地位, 宗教, disability or veteran status. 
Our existing policies related to international and undocumented students 不会改变:
We will continue to admit students consistent with our nondiscrimination policies, considering undocumented students and international students for admission under the same criteria as U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
We will not participate in any immigration enforcement activities on our campuses unless compelled to do so.
We will not release any confidential student records unless authorized by the student or required by law. 

Learning from differences deepens our appreciation of others, sharpens our values and encour年龄s us to become our best selves. We are grateful for and will continue building a diverse learning community at 曼彻斯特.

戴夫
