On behalf of Indiana University, President McRobbie has signed the “Statement in Support of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Program and our Undocumented Immigrant Students.” A key paragraph says:
To our country’s leaders we say that DACA should be upheld, continued, and expanded. We are prepared to meet with you to present our case. This is both a moral imperative and a national necessity. America needs talent – and these students, who have been raised and educated in the United States, are already part of our national community. They represent what is best about America, and as scholars and leaders they are essential to the future.
An article in the South Bend Tribune suggests that some Indiana universities may be contemplating other steps. Inside Higher Ed has a series of articles on the issue unfolding in November during the transition to the presidency of Donald Trump.
