  <Title>IMPORTANT: UMBC Leaders Respond to DACA Decision</Title>
  <Tagline>A Message from our Campus Shared Governance Leaders</Tagline>
  <Body>
    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><div><div><span>Dear Members of the UMBC Community,</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>Following the Trump Administration’s decision today to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program—a pathway to work or college for undocumented individuals who arrived in the United States as children—campus leaders are working to support and advocate for DACA students and colleagues in our community.</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced in a <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/7rvdt/r74a4bb/fixeef" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">memorandum</a> today that it would immediately stop accepting new applications for DACA, while protections for existing program participants will be phased out over time. Specifically, DHS has said that:</span></div><div><ul><li><span>Individuals currently enrolled in DACA will be able to continue working until their permits expire. Permits are typically valid for two years from the date of issuance.</span></li><li><span>DACA participants whose permits expire by <span><span>March 5, 2018</span></span> will be permitted to apply for two-year renewals as long as they do so by <span><span>October 5, 2017</span></span>.</span></li><li><span>New applications and renewal requests already received by DHS before today will be reviewed and validated on a case-by-case basis, even those for permits that expire after <span><span>March 5, 2018</span></span>.</span></li><li><span>DHS will no longer accept new applications for advance parole to travel abroad under standards associated with the DACA program.</span></li></ul></div><div><span>We stand firm in our support for undocumented students’ access to public education, particularly our own “Dreamers,” students of diverse backgrounds earning degrees at UMBC through provisions of the Maryland Dream Act. We are deeply concerned that the federal government has decided to remove the federal protections DACA has provided, after requiring undocumented young people to identify themselves in order to access higher education. It is morally unacceptable for these students to be at risk of deportation, and UMBC leaders will vigorously advocate for swift Congressional action to establish the protections of DACA in law.</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>First and foremost, we are prepared to respond to the uncertainty and fear that students and colleagues with DACA status are experiencing. We are consulting with campus and external experts to understand the collective and individual implications of the Federal policy change and identify options and resources available to members of our community.</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>DACA students and allies seeking information and support are encouraged to contact The Mosaic: Center for Culture and Diversity (<a href="mailto:mosaic@umbc.edu?subject=" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">mosaic@umbc.edu</a>, <a rel="nofollow external" class="bo">410-455-2686</a>) on UMBC’s main campus or Dr. Ashley Waters (<a href="mailto:awaters@umbc.edu?subject=" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">awaters@umbc.edu</a>, <a rel="nofollow external" class="bo">301-738-6175</a>) at the Shady Grove campus. Additional resources focused on diversity and inclusion more broadly can be accessed through <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/7rvdt/r74a4bb/vayeef" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC’s Diversity and Inclusion website</a>.</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>In addition, President Hrabowski has joined USM Chancellor Robert Caret and other USM leaders in a forthcoming letter urging Maryland’s Congressional Delegation to advance legislation to maintain and extend DACA protections. This is consistent with UMBC’s November 2016 endorsement of a <a href="https://t.e2ma.net/click/7rvdt/r74a4bb/b3yeef" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">letter</a> from college and university presidents across the nation citing the moral imperative and national necessity to provide DACA students a path to education and productive lives.</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>We affirm UMBC’s commitment to provide all of our students with a safe and supportive educational environment and will keep the campus community updated on developments related to DACA.</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span><em><span>President Freeman Hrabowski</span></em></span></div><div><span>Provost Philip Rous</span></div><div><span>Kimberly Moffitt, Faculty Senate President</span></div><div><span>Roy Prouty, Graduate Student Association President</span></div><div><span>Diana Smith, Non-Exempt Staff Senate President</span></div><div><span>Ashley Waters, Professional Staff Senate President</span></div><div><span><span><em>Joshua Massey, Student Government Association President</em></span></span></div></div></div>

  <Title>Critical Social Justice 2017: RISE is here!!</Title>

    <![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><p>Over the past year, proactive and reactive acts of resistance have electrified our country and world. Immediate images that flash through our minds include the water protectors at Standing Rock, the millions around the world who participated in the Women’s March, those who rushed to the airports to volunteer translation and legal assistance to immigrants and refugees in the immediate aftermath of the travel ban.  </p><p>As these images of mass protests and large-scale actions continue to capture our attention, we also recognize the power of everyday acts of resistance. Social justice movements have been infused with a renewed sense of urgency, and for an ever-growing number of people, there is the will to be counted, to find voice, and to rise up.</p><p>While many are new to the struggle, the struggle itself is not new. We’re reminded by those who have long been active in these movements that the fight for justice is neither in its first breaths nor last gasps.</p><div><img src="https://critsocjustice.files.wordpress.com/2017/06/csj-rise-save-the-date-square-rgb.jpg?w=440&amp;h=398" alt="CSJ RISE - save the date - square - RGB" width="440" height="398" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></div><p><br></p><p>For the fifth annual Critical Social Justice, we’ll explore opportunities for building individual and collective resistance and resilience. Events throughout the week will challenge us to think about how we can do better, do more, and persist in doing it. How do we rise to meet the challenges of this particular cultural moment to work toward a vision of inclusive excellence—whether it’s in the classroom, online, or in our communities?</p><p><img src="https://critsocjustice.files.wordpress.com/2017/06/adrienne-keene-photo.jpg?w=265&amp;h=193" alt="Adrienne Keene Photo" width="265" height="193" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>We’re excited to announce that <strong>our keynote speaker will be Native scholar and activist <a href="https://twitter.com/nativeapprops" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Dr. Adrienne Keene</a></strong> (Cherokee Nation), who writes about cultural appropriation and stereotypes of Native peoples in pop culture on her blog <a href="http://nativeappropriations.com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Native Appropriations</a>. Keene examines the way Indigenous peoples are using new media to challenge racism, present authentic counter-narratives, and create innovative spaces for art and activism. The keynote lecture and reception will be held on <strong>Tuesday, October 24th at 6pm</strong> in the UC Ballroom.</p><p><strong>Critical Social Justice: Rise will be held on October 23rd through 27th, 2017.</strong> Follow our <a href="https://critsocjustice.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">blog</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/womenscenterumbc/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Facebook</a>, and <a href="https://twitter.com/womencenterumbc" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Twitter</a> (#csjrise) for our calendar of events, updates and other news.
