Smith’s Commitment
我们将:
- Provide equal access to institutional need-based financial aid and campus employment for undocumented students studying in the U.S. under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy.
- Evaluate undocumented and DACA students under the same procedures and requirements we use for first-year or transfer admission for U.S. citizens in making admission decisions.
- 取 no voluntary action that would put members of our community at risk because of their citizenship or immigration status.
- 拒绝释放 information about students’ citizenship or immigration status unless we are legally compelled to do so; if presented with a subpoena or other imperative, we will seek 法律顾问 before taking any steps to comply.
- Continue our practice of strictly limiting the use of eVerify, the online system that cross-checks employment eligibility with the Department of 首页land Security, so that it is used only when we are legally required to do so. We will not use eVerify for routine matters, such as work-study employment.
- Facilitate access to 法律顾问 for undocumented students and for international students affected by the travel ban.
- Provide students with need-based financial support to cover the costs of meeting immigration application fees 必要时.
- 方便查找 year-round housing for international students, potentially on campus or through the alumnae network, if any cannot go home because of travel bans.
