institutional Policies
“James Madison University recognizes the inherent value and dignity of every Duke. Soon after President Obama signed the Executive Order, JMU began welcoming DACA students to campus. Since that time, they have excelled in and out of the classroom and we count them among our family. Recently, JMU President Jonathan Alger signed a statement, along with over 550 other university presidents and chancellors, calling for the continuation and expansion of DACA, and indicating support of all our DACA students.
The Center for Global Engagement (formerly known as Office of International Programs) will offer support and advocacy to DACA students, including the following:
Individual appointments with Delo Blough, a JMU employee and immigration attorney, to discuss specific questions/concerns about DACA;
Referral to outside counsel for more comprehensive consultations and/or representation of individual students;
Continued monitoring of any legal changes following the inauguration, and immediate dissemination of pertinent information to stakeholders;
Assistance with questions about Social Security Numbers and filing Federal Income Taxes.”
