Federal, State and Local Policy

What does
this mean in
terms of
access to
education?
K-12:
• U.S. Supreme Court ruled that all
children are entitled to a public
education, regardless of citizenship or
immigration status (Plyer v Doe, 1982)
Higher Education:
• There is no federal law that prohibits the
admission of undocumented immigrants
to U.S. colleges and universities
• States can make their own provisions

Access
“It was basically the only option to actually
continue my education because…there
was nothing to help you to continue your
education financially.”
![Page 16: Demonstrating an Ethic of Care: Supporting Undocumented ...apps.nacada.ksu.edu/conferences/ProposalsPHP/... · presentation are student quotes that came from: •Eight one-on-one](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071116/5ffc1e8f5f898c64750c8fed/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Challenges and Barriers
![Page 17: Demonstrating an Ethic of Care: Supporting Undocumented ...apps.nacada.ksu.edu/conferences/ProposalsPHP/... · presentation are student quotes that came from: •Eight one-on-one](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071116/5ffc1e8f5f898c64750c8fed/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Is college
for me?
• Lack of understanding and resources at the
high school and college level• “Nobody really understood the situation or knew how to
help me. And neither did I.”
• First-generation students• “I needed people to explain to me how it works, because I
had no idea at all.”
• College application process
• Psychological Impacts• “I mean psychologically, you have no idea how hard it is.
it’s huge talking from the point of dignity, as a human
being, just trying to get (an) education.”
![Page 18: Demonstrating an Ethic of Care: Supporting Undocumented ...apps.nacada.ksu.edu/conferences/ProposalsPHP/... · presentation are student quotes that came from: •Eight one-on-one](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071116/5ffc1e8f5f898c64750c8fed/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Paying for
College
• Not eligible for federal financial aid
• Most undocumented students pay out of pocket
• “If you don’t work, you can’t pay for your classes. But if you don’t go to your classes because of work, you fail.”
• In-state vs out-of-state at BHCC• In-state: $528 per 3 credit class
• Out-of-state: $1,146 per 3 credit class
“You have to make a choice, do you want to be homeless or pay for school?”
![Page 19: Demonstrating an Ethic of Care: Supporting Undocumented ...apps.nacada.ksu.edu/conferences/ProposalsPHP/... · presentation are student quotes that came from: •Eight one-on-one](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071116/5ffc1e8f5f898c64750c8fed/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Is it worth it?
• DACA uncertainty
• Major and career choices
• What happens after graduation? • “If I do achieve it (college), what do I do with it after?”
• Undocumented students will still be
undocumented even as they attain
higher education
“Registering with the school was easy, but the thought of,
“Is this even worth it?” I’m going to go there, waste
money…will there be a point where I can say, “Okay- I
accomplished something? It’s hard taking a risk.”

Academic
Advising
“When undocumented students see that
student affairs professionals know about
and demonstrate an ethic of care
regarding their unique realities, it
increases the students opportunity and
likelihood to develop trust with student
affairs professionals.” Gildersleeve et al. (2010) p.6

What
Students
Want You to
Know
“I’m strong.”
“You need to know we are motivated as heck.”
“Invest without fear.”
“There’s always a way. There’s always going to be a way.
There’s always going to be an option.”
“I’m trying to fight the good fight, every day.”
“I’m proud of myself.”
“If you don’t have a social security number, that doesn’t
mean that you don’t want to study, that you don’t want to
have a better life in the future.”

need to open up their minds and see the true potential
behind every individual.”
