California Bill Opens Campus Jobs to Undocumented Students | Fresno News

California just took a major step forward for undocumented students: lawmakers passed a bill that bans public colleges from denying campus jobs based on lack of federal work authorization. After a previous veto fueled by fears of federal pushback, this time the California Supreme Court’s ruling against discrimination cleared the way. Supporters say it’s about fairness and safety—helping students avoid risky off-campus gigs while gaining real work experience. Governor Newsom now has the final say; if signed, schools must comply by January 6th, with only rare exceptions. With immigration enforcement tightening and federal aid shrinking, this law could be vital for keeping undocumented students in school—and building California’s future workforce.
