The University of Washington supports DACA students



The Trump administration is considering changes that would end or limit the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The University of Washington is strongly opposed to ending this program and we are working with universities across the country to urge the Trump administration not to dismantle or diminish any aspect of DACA.
We have no clear indication of what, if any, changes the administration might make. What is clear, however, is that the UW's policies regarding immigration status have not and will not change.
If you, or someone you know would be affected by any changes to DACA, we encourage you to seek out Leadership Without Borders as a resource.  For current students, you may also use these campus resources:

DACA background

On June 15, 2012, the Secretary of Homeland Security announced that immigrants who arrive to the United States as children and meet several key guidelines may request consideration of deferred action for a period of two years, subject to renewal, and would then be eligible for work authorization. Deferred action is discretionary determination to prevent removal action of an individual as an act of prosecutorial discretion. Deferred action does not provide an individual with lawful status.
If you would like to learn more about Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and application process please visit the U.S. Center for Immigration Services website.
According to the Washington Student Achievement Council (WSAC), you may be eligible for the College Bound Scholarship. However, you are required to verify your Washington State residence, as well as your DACA status, before this scholarship can be awarded. 
The UW’s Residence Classification Office is in charge of this verification process. Please download their Residence Questionnaire at: http://www.washington.edu/students/reg/residency/applicationProcess.html and submit it and the necessary documentation for residency, along with a copy of your DACA documentation (I-797 form), to the Residence Classification Office. 
Because the questionnaire cannot be faxed or emailed/scanned, please either mail your documents to or drop them off in person at:

Jurors return for 2nd day of deliberations in Harvey Weinstein's rape trial

Jury deliberations resumed Wednesday at Harvey Weinstein's rape trial with jurors focusing on the testimony of a former TV and film production assistant who accused the disgraced movie mogul of sexually abusing her in his Manhattan apartment. A note from the jury said it wants to re-examine Miriam Haleyi’s account alleging Weinstein forcibly performed oral sex on her in 2006 after he got her a job working on “Project Runway,” a fashion show he produced. Haleyi, now 42, said she and Weinstein had sex at a hotel two weeks later even though she didn’t want to be intimate. Weinstein’s lawyers have suggested that episode is evidence he didn’t coerce her during the first encounter, either. The panel of seven men and five women, now in their second day of deliberations at the New York City trial, also asked to see any emails from Weinstein related to Haleyi that are in evidence. Along with the alleged assault on Haleyi, the 67-year-old Weinstein is charged with raping a woman in a Manh...

Open Letter to Mark Wahlberg: Hiphop Culture MADE You!

  I'm not going to continue to let the elephant in the room take big dumps all over the room. At some point, one of us has to say something about the so-called unsaid. Let me make a long story short for you and give you some pointers you may or may not know about. This is particularly about the song "Good Vibrations" and the rapper-turned-actor Marky Mark aka Mark Wahlberg . Let's start here: I'm nobody's 'yes man' or sucker at all, so I'm not going to sugar coat the story to make someone feel better about themselves. A lot of rumors were spread about Mark Wahlberg regretting or feeling "embarrassed" about doing the song "Good Vibrations" , a song that literally brought him from petty car thief and street thug to a well-respected member of society, and a member of Hollywood elite. I say this, because - we didn't run in the studio to begin working on a rapper who was already trying to get his feet wet in Rap and Hiphop - ...
