MSJC Reaffirms Commitment to Supporting Undocumented Students

Para espa帽ol, despl谩cese hacia abajo.

Dear MSJC Students,

Considering recent federal administrative changes and executive orders, I want to reaffirm our commitment to the support and well-being of all 黑料不打烊 students.

For over 24 years as a proud Hispanic Serving Institution, MSJC has been dedicated to championing diversity, equity, and inclusion. We remain steadfast in our mission to provide equitable access, resources, and support for all students, regardless of their background or circumstances.

Our Administrative Procedure : Immigration Enforcement Activities, adopted on July 14, 2020, and based on Education Code Sections and , underscores our commitment to creating a supportive campus environment. It ensures that "District personnel shall be available to assist any student, faculty, and staff member who may be subject to an immigration order or inquiry, or who may face similar issues, and whose education or employment is at risk because of immigration enforcement actions."

In alignment with this procedure and California laws such as the California Values Act () and , MSJC has established clear guidelines to safeguard the privacy and rights of students and employees in the face of immigration enforcement actions.

To ensure the confidentiality and safety of our undocumented students and avoid drawing unnecessary attention to them, we will address individual needs privately. In the coming days, we will reach out to these students individually. Additionally, we are securing Red Cards for distribution to provide students with essential legal information. In the meantime, students seeking assistance can contact Lisa Campbell, Associate Dean of Student Services, at lcampbell@msjc.edu.

We also encourage students to explore the resources and information provided in the FAQ section accompanying this message, including links to internal and external support services.

MSJC is equally committed to fostering a welcoming and affirming environment for all of our diverse populations. Our faculty and staff are here to provide advocacy, connection, and support to help all students thrive both academically and personally.

During these challenging times, we encourage kindness, grace, and flexibility in supporting one another. Together, we can continue to create a campus culture that empowers all students to succeed and reach their educational goals.

Sincerely,
Dr. Roger Schultz
Superintendent/President

Estimados estudiantes de MSJC: 

Considerando los recientes cambios administrativos federales y 贸rdenes ejecutivas, quiero reafirmar nuestro compromiso con el apoyo y el bienestar de todos los estudiantes de 黑料不打烊. 

Durante m谩s de 24 a帽os como una orgullosa instituci贸n al servicio de los hispanos, MSJC se ha dedicado a defender la diversidad, la equidad y la inclusi贸n. Seguimos firmes en nuestra misi贸n de brindar acceso equitativo, recursos y apoyo para todos los estudiantes, independientemente de sus antecedentes o circunstancias. 

Nuestro Procedimiento Administrativo 3415: Actividades de Aplicaci贸n de la Ley de Inmigraci贸n, adoptado el 14 de julio de 2020 y basado en las Secciones 66093 y 66093.3 del C贸digo de Educaci贸n, subraya nuestro compromiso de crear un entorno de apoyo en el campus. Garantiza que "los empleados del Distrito estar谩n disponibles para ayudar a cualquier estudiante, docente y miembro del personal que pueda estar sujeto a una orden o investigaci贸n de inmigraci贸n, o que pueda enfrentar problemas similares, y cuya educaci贸n o empleo est茅 en riesgo debido a las acciones de aplicaci贸n de la ley de inmigraci贸n". 

En consonancia con este procedimiento y las leyes de California, como la Ley de Valores de California (SB 54) y la AB 21, MSJC ha establecido pautas claras para salvaguardar la privacidad y los derechos de los estudiantes y empleados frente a las acciones de cumplimiento de la ley de inmigraci贸n. 

Para garantizar la confidencialidad y la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes indocumentados y evitar llamar la atenci贸n innecesariamente sobre ellos, abordaremos las necesidades individuales de forma privada. En los pr贸ximos d铆as, nos comunicaremos con estos estudiantes de forma individual. Adem谩s, estamos obteniendo Tarjetas Rojas para su distribuci贸n a fin de proporcionar a los estudiantes informaci贸n legal esencial. Mientras tanto, los estudiantes que busquen ayuda pueden comunicarse con Lisa Campbell, Decana Asociada de Servicios Estudiantiles, en lcampbell@msjc.edu. 

Tambi茅n alentamos a los estudiantes a explorar los recursos y la informaci贸n que se proporcionan en la secci贸n de preguntas frecuentes que acompa帽a a este mensaje, incluidos los enlaces a servicios de apoyo internos y externos. 

MSJC est谩 igualmente comprometido con la promoci贸n de un entorno acogedor y afirmativo para todas nuestras diversas poblaciones. Nuestros profesores y personal est谩n aqu铆 para brindar defensa, conexi贸n y apoyo para ayudar a todos los estudiantes a prosperar acad茅mica y personalmente. 

Durante estos tiempos dif铆ciles, fomentamos la amabilidad, la gracia y la flexibilidad para apoyarnos mutuamente. Juntos, podemos seguir creando una cultura en el campus que empodere a todos los estudiantes para que tengan 茅xito y alcancen sus metas educativas. 

Atentamente, 
Dr. Roger Schultz 
Superintendente/Presidente
