Message from President Harvey Stenger on DACA
September 5, 2017
To the campus community,
In support of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy enacted in 2012, I strongly endorse (APLU) calling on Congress to take swift action to protect DACA participants.
I remind our campus community that we stand firm in our commitment to protect student confidentiality under the Family Educational and Rights of Privacy Act (FERPA). In addition, New York State University Police at º£½ÇÂÒÂ×ÉçÇø do not gather information about the citizenship or immigration status of our students and we have no plans to alter this practice.
Students who have questions or concerns about DACA are encouraged to contact the Dean of Students Office case managers or the Student Legal Clinic, which maintains a privileged attorney/client relationship.
Sincerely,
Harvey Stenger
President
