Dr. Tuajuanda Jordan, president, St. Mary’s College of Maryland, has joined more than 100 college and university presidents in signing the statement for the continuation and expansion of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that benefits undocumented college students. Under the program, more than 700,000 young people who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children have registered with the federal government in exchange for temporary relief from the possibility of deportation and a two-year renewable work permit. The program was authorized by President Obama in 2012.
