US EditionCourt lets stand ruling that says UC’s ban on hiring students without legal status is discriminatory
The California Supreme Court upheld an appellate ruling that UC’s ban on hiring undocumented students is discriminatory, affecting thousands of immigrant students’ financial and career opportunities.
- The California Supreme Court refused to hear UC's challenge last week, leaving the appellate ruling that deemed UC's hiring ban discriminatory intact and requiring reconsideration.
- The lawsuit filed last year alleges University of California's hiring ban discriminates against students without legal status, denying career opportunities and forcing struggles to afford tuition, housing, and food.
- UC attorneys argued that hiring undocumented students could expose campuses to litigation, fines, and risk freezing federal funding, but a three-judge appellate court panel last year ruled fear of federal litigation insufficient to justify the discriminatory hiring policy and ordered UC to apply proper legal criteria.
- Iliana Perez, former UC lecturer and plaintiff, urged UC to revise its hiring policy after immigrant rights groups celebrated the court's refusal to hear the appeal Monday.
- Facing a $1 billion White House demand and grant suspensions, University of California says the ruling raises legal risks amid negotiations with the Trump administration affecting roughly 80,000 students.
