The California Faculty Association is the nation's largest faculty union. This workshop addresses legislative challenges facing undocumented students at California State University (CSU). Utilizing a racial-justice lens, the session examines the issues facing undocumented students who complete a teaching credential but who, upon graduation, can not teach in K-12 districts. The workshop analyzes current educational barriers that prevent undocumented graduates from teaching in K-12 districts. Participants will engage in structured discussions regarding the complexities of policy reform. The session will also outline advocacy strategies implemented in the legal profession. This interactive workshop explores possible approaches for advocacy and mobilization. By the conclusion of the session, participants will be equipped to identify current legislative challenges impacting undocumented CSU students and to evaluate advocacy strategies consistent with CFA legislative priorities.
