We are living at a critical time when the construction of inclusive policies and practices by higher education institutions and institutional agents for students who are undocumented or have Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status are needed more than ever. While tens of thousands of undocu/DACAmented students are enrolled in higher education institutions, they often have to overcome discriminatory policies and contend with unknowledgeable higher education institutional agents who may not address their specific needs. Complex public policy landscapes and individual campus environments can shape institutional agents’ implementation of policies and practices that impact undocu/DACAmented students. This research brief will map the policy and campus environments and conclude with how learning opportunities can help inform institutional agents’ practice.
