California college students demand the university remove financial aid barriers for illegal immigrants

During a protest that broke out at the University of California San Diego, students demanded their school’s administrators remove the financial aid cap for illegal immigrants.

Around 200 students gathered to protest the Trump administration's deportation efforts and demand that the university take action to protect illegal immigrants. The UCSD Associated Student Senate developed a resolution pressuring the UCSD administrators to take action.  Joshua Q. Nelson is a reporter for Fox News Digital.

The resolution, passed on Wednesday last week, wants the Vice-Chancellor of Student Affairs and Campus Life "to remove financial barriers for undocumented students," which would entail "expanding grants for the professional development of undergraduate undocumented students, guaranteeing in-state tuition protections for undocumented students," and "eliminating hidden fees and costs that disproportionately affect students without access to federal financial aid."
