The Connecticut State Colleges and Universities system along with UConn have joined a lawsuit against the ending of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.  The schools argue that ending DACA would force students to leave who were protected from deportation because they were minors when brought to the country illegally by their parents.  CSCU president Mark Ojakian says public education institutions are meant to foster learning and community to any student willing to put in the work to learn and achieve.  It's estimated that there are 10,000 DACA recipients in Connecticut.
