Charge:
To identify and articulate the issues and needs for undocumented members of the UC Berkeley on-campus community, with particular emphasis on undergraduate students, and make recommendations for campus intiatives to support them in best achieving their goals here, while recognizing legal strictures. Strategies include:
- Assessment of financial resources and gaps for undocumented students
- Assessment of campus climate for undocumented students
- Evaluation of campus services, including their accessibility and effectiveness
- Compilation and assessment of relevant campus policies
- Recommendations to the Chancellor for key policy and service changes
- Insuring ongoing implementation and monitoring of key policy and service changes
- increasing collaboration with outside private entities that can help with these issues
The Taskforce convened in the fall 2010 semester. It met approximately once per month. A report was issued to the Chancellor in spring 2011. The Taskforce was staffed by the Division of Equity & Inclusion.
