Recently, an undergraduate student wrote an opinion piece in the Thresher complaining about the Rice Administration’s public support for its DACA students. In it, he claimed support for DACA on campus was mixed. In the Thresher’s following issue, four different letters to the editor were published; each blasting the initial opinion piece and dissecting the fallacies present.
The Rice Young Democrats penned one of these LTTE’s, which can be read here.
Gilbert Saldivar’s LTTE
Christen Sparago’s LTTE
Maurice Frediere’s LTTE (Former RYD President)
Student Association President’s Statement
Clearly, the Rice student body isn’t as divided on this issue in the slightest. We stand with Dreamers and categorically oppose legislation that would seek to deport hard-working, innovative students.
