California Assembly Bill 21

Assembly Bill 21 is a significant piece of legislation that addresses the increasing challenges surrounding immigration policy and enforcement in California. The bill requires state and community colleges, as well as UC universities, to implement policies and procedures that promote a safe and welcoming environment for all campus community members, regardless of their immigration status. In March of 2018, Former University of California President Napolitano sent a letter to UC chancellors, strongly encouraging them to adopt the policies and practices outlined in Assembly Bill 21. With this bill, California is taking a proactive step towards ensuring all students feel safe and supported on their educational journey.
