UC's Opportunity for Some: Campus Doors Close on Undocumented Student Employment

On January 26th, 2024, the University of California suspended its plan to allow undocumented students to get campus jobs, halting initiatives to ensure financial equity for this substantial student population.

In May, urged by UCLA law professors and students, the UC regents unanimously pledged to explore a hiring plan for undocumented students in the UC system to earn legal paychecks. This collective effort was championed by the Opportunity For All Campaign, which includes the Undocumented Student-led Network, the Center for Immigration Law and Policy at UCLA School of Law, and the UCLA Labor Center.
