University of Nevada, Reno, President Brian Sandoval said a resource hub under federal scrutiny is not federally funded and is available to the entire campus community.
“Several claims in the DOJ letter do not accurately reflect how our University operates, particularly in relation to financial aid distribution and student support services,” Sandoval said.
The referral letter cited UNR’s “UndocuPack” program, a resource hub geared toward students who are undocumented or in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.
No federal dollarsSandoval countered that federal dollars don’t pay for UndocuPack, which offers aid to all UNR students.
‘Appropriate legal channels’Sandoval said that UNR will respond to the DOJ referral “through the appropriate legal channels.”The Nevada System of Higher Education said it was aware of the referral, adding that it will continue complying with state and federal law.
