ASU President Crow said We Will Help DACA Students!
Apparently ASU President M. Crow is willing to do whatever he deems necessary to make it possible for DACA students to continue their education even at the cost to our children paying a higher costs, even though I do believe he’s mandated by law to lower the costs which these funds could be used to do, this is of no surprise to most realizing it’s more about the Political Agenda to the Socialist Elites in Education than it is to Educating Americas Children.
I would suggest that anyone wanting to put an End to this type of blatant disregard for the Citizens who pay the bills needs to contact their Legislators and Governor Ducey and ask them to do something to stop these programs immediately as I’m certain there are Americans who’d love to have these same benefits extended to them as they are Citizens and will need all the help they can get in a Country which is changing by the minute.

Subject: Message to the ASU Community regarding today’s DACA announcement
Dear ASU Community:
Two days ago, I made clear ASU’s intention to honor its constitutionally mandated mission<https://president.asu.edu/node/2301> to provide a quality education to Arizona’s college bound students – all of them.
I had previously reaffirmed ASU’s “historic commitment to Dreamers generally and to DACA students in particular.” I stand by that commitment, including my promise that “If DACA is eliminated, we will rise to the challenge,” just as we did before DACA existed by finding resources for these students from private sources.
In my November statement, I provided the broad outlines of our action plan<https://president.asu.edu/node/2244>. Here are some specific steps we are taking in response to today’s announcement:
- We will work with the Arizona Congressional Delegation and other members of Congress to enact the DREAM Act or other appropriate federal legislation to provide analternative to DACAby the administration’s March 5, 2018, deadline. I have asked Matt Salmon, ASU’s Vice President for Government Affairs, to lead this effort. I am hopeful that this time we will succeed in finding what I have long considered a pathway to an educated future<http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/21/us/politics/21immig.html> for thousands of young people who have done nothing wrong.
How Salmon got his job at ASU: http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/azdc/2016/06/08/rep-matt-salmon-explains-how-he-got-asu-job-offer/85619738/?cookies=&from=global
- We will engage the members of the Arizona business community and the various Arizona Chambers of Commerce who have supported these efforts in the past to assist with our federal policy work. Matt Salmon and his team will also coordinate this work.
- We will facilitate legal advice for and to our students. I have asked Sr. Vice President and General Counsel, José Cárdenas, and the dean of the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law, Doug Sylvester, to coordinate this effort.
- Past experience has taught us that despite overwhelming public support for the DREAM Act, passage is not a certainty. To cover that eventuality, we will begin work now with individual, corporate, and foundation donors to help provide scholarships and other resources to our students. I’ve asked Gretchen Buhlig, CEO of the ASU Foundation, and ASU Sr. Vice President Christine Wilkinson, to lead this effort.
- Our contingency planning will include discussions with Mexican and other international universities to identify and develop higher education programs that may be of assistance to our students. Executive Vice President and University Provost Mark Searle and General Counsel José Cárdenas will lead this effort.
All of these steps are in addition to those we initiated last November and earlier this year, and that we have enhanced since then. For example, in November we began providing counseling services to our DACA students, and over the course of the last several months we have touched base with every one of our DACA students to reaffirm our support for the completion of their college education.
