students were treated with disrespect and were threatened with heavy militarized police presence during what was supposed to be a public meeting. During this meeting, the UC Regents decided not to pass the Opportunity 4 All campaign which would have allowed
for undocumented students to find employment on campus. VPEA concluded his statement by asking all ASUCR officials to stand in solidarity with undocumented students and put forth a strong call to action for UC Riverside to mobilize! This call to action was
affirmed by Executive Vice President Nguyen and President Ahluwalia.<o:p></o:p></p>
