White House, ED to Host DREAM Act Conference Call
Nov. 23, 2010

Department of Education Sec. Arne Duncan and Director of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs Cecilia Munoz will host a conference call on Monday, Nov. 29, from 2:00-2:45 p.m. EST to discuss prospects for passage of the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act.

There currently are several iterations of the DREAM Act pending in Congress. The most expansive version would return to the states the ability to decide whether to extend in-state tuition to undocumented students and establish a six-year conditional permanent residency status for students who meet certain requirements, such as:

having been brought to the United States before the age of 16,
living in the United States at least five years as of the enactment date, and
graduating from a U.S. high school or obtaining a GED credential.
DREAM-eligible individuals may qualify for permanent residency after six years by completing at least two years of higher education or military service. However, recently introduced versions of the measure would strip out the in-state tuition provision.

Members of the higher education community are invited to join the call using the following dial-in information:

United States: (800) 230-1059
International: (800) 288-8967

Won't miss this one!

Thank you LawEnforcer.
