2020 marks fifty years since women were accepted into the undergraduate schools and 70 years since Gregory Swanson was admitted to the Law school as the first Black student at U.Va. As we celebrate these milestones, our administration and community must critically address who continues to be excluded from attending and thriving at U.Va.

In an op-ed for The Cavalier Daily concerning the Deferred Action For Childhood Arrivals program, second-year College student Tanner Hirschfeld made several assertions which our organization, “DREAMers on Grounds,” would like to respectfully challenge. Hirschfeld argues that DACA was an “unconstitutional executive order” which was tantamount to President Barack Obama writing law unilaterally, and that viewing the decision to repeal it as anything other than a constitutional issue is dangerous. He agrees the policy goals underlying DACA are favorable, but justifies his opposition to the program by accusing undocumented immigrants in general of not respecting the law — in contrast to his own ancestors — implicitly placing Dreamers who came as children in a more favorable light.
