NORTHERN CALIFORNIA – In December 2016 the Yuba Community College District Governing Board adopted a resolution that affirmed the Yuba Community College District is committed to being and remaining a welcoming environment for all students, including international and undocumented students in accordance with law, regulation, and policy.

On Sept. 5, the U.S. Department of Justice issued an announcement regarding the rescission of the DACA program in an effort to provide time for Congress to enact a more permanent solution.

The recent DACA rescission announcement changes nothing in the YCCD Governing Board’s commitment to serving all students regardless of their race, ethnicity, national origin, religious beliefs, gender, sexual orientation, identity, medical condition, disability or immigration status consistent with the laws and policies of this country and the State of California.

At its Sept. 14 regular meeting, the YCCD Governing Board considered and adopted a resolution reiterating the district’s commitments to serving all students.

Additionally, the resolution implores Congress to take immediate action to resolve this matter with legislation to ensure a certain future for students affected by the DACA rescission.
