In-state tuition guidance creating confusion

CAPITAL HIGHLIGHTS LIGHTS

Advocates for undocumented college students claim some learners have been told incorrectly they are no longer eligible for low in-state tuition rates, the Texas Tribune reports. They are asking for clear guidance on the issue.

A federal court in June ruled unconstitutional the Texas Dream Act, a state law which granted in-state college tuition rates for undocumented college students. The June court ruling came after the state declined to defend a suit filed by the U.S. Justice Department.
