to open campus jobs to students who don’t have the legal authorization to reside in the U.S.
The new policy will require navigation through human resources, employment law, and other aspects of the university bureaucracy. To sort through those issues, the regents created a working group after the May vote to draft a plan for campuses. The shadow group consulted with an immigration and employment law firm as well as a UCLA HR official, Arulanantham said, and the findings are being drafted into a report that he hopes to give to UC Regents. He said their research shows the change can be implemented as soon as January.
A university spokesman did not divulge whose input the official working group has considered so far, but did say that group has gathered input from “subject-matter experts, undocumented students, and legal counsel.”“I know people in the university administration and the general counsel's office are also working on these issues,” Arulanantham said during public comment.
