CSULB

Of course it did…

Via MRCTV:

A public university in California just opened a center for students living in the U.S. illegally to receive a number of services ranging from academic and career counseling to information on how to secure financial aid.

The fourth of its kind in the California State University system, the “Dream Success Center” will serve as a resource hub for the approximated 650 illegal immigrants attending Cal State Long Beach.

“It is estimated there are some 650 AB540 and/or undocumented students at CSULB,” the university writes in a press release. “The Dream Success Center will provide a place for those students to receive support and services that help meet some of their special needs—referrals to financial assistance and information on programs and services designed to improve retention and graduation rates—as well as a location where they can connect with one another.”

Many undocumented students attending CSULB have been able to do so thanks to the California DREAM Act, or AB 540, an assembly bill made into law back in 2001 granting illegal immigrants who graduate from California high schools in-state tuition rates, or “tuition equity,” as opposed to the more expensive nonresident tuition rates.
