A university exclusively for undocumented students was a distant dream even with the support of Obama's DREAM act. But, UCLA's Centre for Labor Research assured it would be possible and collaborated with the National Labor College to outline the establishment of such an unprecedented learning center.

But now, before the plan could materialize UCLA is pulling away from the commitment it made with the National Labor College.

University of California Los Angeles announced Thursday that it will no longer be working on the National Dream University project, reports Los Angeles Weekly.

In an official statement from the university, UCLA says that the deal between its Center for Labor Research and Education and National Labor College did not go through proper channels and was not approved by the leaders of UCLA.

"As a result, the agreement has been declared void and UCLA has directed the Labor Center to suspend all work on National Dream University," reads the statement.

But, according to an exclusive report by the FoxNews, the reason behind the closure is increasing pressure from the community and political leaders over the controversial university.

If the university was established, it would be jointly managed by UCLA's Labor Center and NLU and would have offered online certificate courses in immigrant rights and political advocacy at an extremely reasonable rate of $2,500. Only those students who fall under the DREAM act would be eligible for the course.

Inevitably, many did not like the idea of starting a university, in the current economy, exclusively for those who entered the nation illegally and hence the concept came under fire.

The FoxNews report says Assemblyman Donnelly was the first lawmaker to publicly express outrage. "Here, you're going to have the taxpayers subsidizing it, so that illegal aliens can go to college, have their own little college, teach their own ideology, and all at taxpayer expense," he said in August.

The NDU had started accepting applications which were due Oct.5 until UCLA pulled the plug Thursday.

The statement by the university also emphasizes on the fact that the students enrolled in NDU would not have been considered as students of UCLA. It points out that if the program had materialized, it would have been offered by NLC and not UCLA, so the 'news reports suggesting that those enrolled in the program would be UCLA students are completely inaccurate.'

The statement was quick to point out that the incident will not sever or rule out any possible 'future relationships between the center and National Labor College.'
