SUMMARY:Faculty Emeriti Association Lecture
DESCRIPTION:
 Professor Francisco Villarruel, Department of 
 Human Development and Family Studies, presents 
 a talk entitled "Educational and Citizenship 
 Opportunities for Undocumented Youth in 
 the DREAM Act."\n
 \n
 Under current law young 
 people derive their immigration status solely 
 from their parents. If their parents are 
 undocumented they have no mechanism to obtain 
 legal residency, even if they have lived most 
 of their lives in the U.S. The Dream Act, 
 which has been introduced in the Senate and 
 the House, would permit such persons to obtain 
 permanent legal status and become eligible 
 for U.S. citizens if they go to college or serve 
 in the military. Several states have passed 
 legislation that parallels the proposed federal 
 legislation. Some public and private institutions 
 have passed institutional policy to 
 provide undocumented immigrant youth opportunities 
 to pursue post secondary education. \n
 \n
 This 
 presentation will address engaging the 
 MSU community to consider whether MSU should 
 seek to provide educational opportunities for 
 undocumented immigrant youth.\n
