"UC Board Postpones Decision on Employment of Undocumented Students"

The University of California's governing board has delayed a decision on whether to allow undocumented students to apply for jobs on its campuses, citing "significant risk" for the institution and students, including possible criminal prosecution. The proposed legal pathway for the student work plan was deemed "not viable right now" by the system's president, who warned of potential risks for the university system and the students it serves. The policy could benefit as many as 4,000 undocumented students who would have been allowed to work under DACA, and the decision has sparked disappointment and criticism from some regents and student leaders.
