In order to reaffirm the ChancellorÖгöÉÙ¸¾ÊÓƵ™s directives, I move that the Board of Regents direct the chancellor to require campus review of all applications for admission for the fall semester, 2010, within 60 days of todayÖгöÉÙ¸¾ÊÓƵ™s date, to determine whether undocumented persons are receiving, or about to receive, a state, local or federal benefit prohibited by federal or state law.
