At the request of Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois, AAUP government relations officer Nsé Ufot submitted testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee for a June 28 hearing on the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act, which would grant legal US residency to some undocumented immigrants after the successful completion of two years of college or military service. Writing on behalf of many faculty members, librarians, and academic professionals, and the millions of students they teach, support, and advise, Ufot urged that the DREAM Act be passed.
