Texas Community Colleges Respond to the Threatened End of DACA: A Document Analysis
Tapia-Fuselier, Nicholas; Young, Jemimah L.
Community College Journal of Research and Practice, v43 n10-11 p807-811 2019
Undocumented students continue to face unique barriers in American higher education. Community colleges are being challenged to enhance the ways in which they serve, support, and advocate for undocumented students in order to become undocu-competent. Through qualitative document analysis, this study evaluated Texas community colleges' institutional responses to the announcement of the end of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). The findings of this study demonstrate that although there were themes discovered in the institutional responses, there were differences in the superficiality or depth with which they were presented. Further, we propose the Undocu-Competent Institutional Response (UCIR) Framework -- a practical framework for administrators to consider utilizing when crafting future undocu-competent institutional responses on major issues impacting undocumented students.
