Students demonstrate in support of University of California students who lack legal status and work permits. “The University is committed to ensuring that all students, regardless of their immigration status, can pursue and attain a world-class UC education. Students without legal status, along with their allies who have been collectively pushing for the right to work, said they were thrilled. Critics have warned of ramifications if UC moved forward with hiring those without legal status. In 2023, an estimated 100,000 immigrant youths graduated from high school without legal status or DACA benefits — including about 27,000 in California.
