Abstract
- Given that community colleges enroll most of the undocumented and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) students across the nation, there is an economic and moral imperative to understand how the sociopolitical environment has shifted educational opportunities for undocumented and DACA students. This paper unveils how institutional agents use their agency to shape the college community college experiences of undocumented and DACA students. Findings include institutional agents' perspectives on navigating challenges, resistance, and virtues in the current sociopolitical climate. Recommendations are discussed to enhance humanizing and holistic institutional support for DACA and undocumented college students, as well as a proposed undocuservingness framework. Practical Takeaways: It is important for insititutional agents to use legal and racial consciouness to better serve undocumented and DACA students.Hispanic Serving Community Colleges need to unpack servingness within the context of supporting undocumented and DACA students [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
