UCLA's community-oriented chancellor shares in our Dream

We all blushed a little bit at the Underground headquarters when we read our chancellor write about us in the LA Times in this way:

They are impressive young adults. They will become doctors, engineers and teachers, and they are passionate in their intent to give back to our communities. If we charge them out-of-state tuition, we will rob them of an educational opportunity that they have earned through hard work, and we will lose the benefit of their extraordinary drive and commitment.

After a few "He's talking about Me's" and a couple of sighs, we'd like to commend Chancellor Block for speaking out on his support of AB540 and equal access to in-state tuition for everyone in the state. It's refreshing to see that the stories of undocumented students bring out these university officials to participate as pro-migrant advocates even if they stay away from commenting on overall immigration policy. As we covered before, similar statements have been provided by the chancellors at UC Berkeley and the University of Arkansas. Block's statement is a strong one for UCLA student activists, who had gotten used to expecting deafening silence from that office on controversial issues, until Block arrived on campus in 2007.
Good news, good vibes, go vote for DREAM.
PS: Dear LA Times, at first I was mad that you didn't print my letter on this issue. You are off the hook for now.
