/></p> <p>Given the circumstances that usually precede international migration, many undocumented students or students from mixed-status families might identify as first-generation low-income as well, although this is certainly not always the case. Knowing this, <strong>the FGLI Community fully supports the presence of undocumented students on campus and of their families in this country.</strong> We are committed to making them feel welcome and at home here and elsewhere, and condemn any and all acts of dehumanization, invalidation, and of questioning “how much one deserves” to be part of our society.</p> <p><a href="http://oiss.yale.edu/immigration/dacamented-undacamented" size="816}">Learn how Yale supports undocumented students on campus</a>.</p> <p><strong>from Peter Salovey’s response to the DACA Announcement (September 5, 2017):</strong></p> <blockquote><p>…For the students affected by this order, I want you to know unequivocally that Yale stands with you.
