On September 5, 2017, the White House announced its plans to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, effective March 5, 2018. As we’re approaching the October 5, 2017 DACA extension application deadline, we want to remind our affected employees that it is important to submit their applications as soon as possible and that resources are available.
Additional information on who can renew, when to renew, and how to renew is available on the OHR website and at https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/consideration-deferred-action-childhood-arrivals-process/renew-your-daca.
For more information on Towson University’s position on DACA, read President Schatzel’s September 5, 2017 statement. In addition to President Schatzel’s statement, review the University System of Maryland (USM) Chancellor Robert Caret’s letter to the Maryland Congressional Delegation regarding support for DACA.
