    Equity by Design : Examining Law & Policy for Undocumented Immigrant Students through the pK-20 Pipeline
    (Midwest & Plains Equity Assistance Center (MAP EAC), 2017) Nguyễn, David Hòa Khoa
    The purpose of this Equity Brief is to provide some guidance for educators with regard to the challenges around supporting undocumented students in the midst of uncertain times and continued concerns surrounding Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Many youth in the DACA Program have made the United States their home and have lived in the country the majority of their lives. Since its inception, DACA has been a source of contention for many, opponents argue that DACA has decreased the educational budget whereas others proponents of DACA focus on the educational opportunities it presents.

    Examining the Legal Consciousness of Residence Life Staff
    (Association of College and University Housing Officers - International, 2018) Nguyễn, David Hòa Khoa; Collier, Joan; Watts, Angela; Cartwright, Camille; King-Kostelac, Amelia; School of Education
    Understanding the law has become an integral part of the work of higher education professionals, especially residence life staff. For decades, courts have contributed an increasingly important role in shaping the litigious nature of society at large and within higher education (Greenleaf, 1982). Barr and Associates (1988) noted the increasingly major influence of the law on campus life. Even in the mid-1990s, Gehring and Penney (1995) highlighted the critical need to understand legal issues for those professionals entering the field of higher education and student affairs. Since Olivas (2013) found that higher education law is a rapidly changing area in the field, knowledge of the law is critical to anyone in a professional position in higher education.
