The University of Maryland is creating an “undocumented student coordinator” position to support illegal immigrant students in response to student concerns about Trump’s policies on immigration.
The opening of the position was in response to student group ProtectUMD’s demands last semester for “a full-time Undocumented Student Coordinator to advocate for, advise, represent, and protect undocumented and DACAmented students,” reports The Diamondback.

Katie Lawson, a spokesperson for the university, said UMD will be assigning a staff member to serve as the new coordinator.
“As part of the university’s ongoing commitment to undocumented students…We are assigning a UMD staff person to serve as a coordinator to address the immediate needs of the undocumented student population,” Lawson stated. “We will continue to assess the need for staff support moving forward.”
