Arizona Judge rule some Undocumented Students eligible for in state Tuition

 I previously posted on the blog an article about how the University of Illinois was working on proposing legislation that would allow undocumented students to be eligible for state financial aid. Some states are going as far as not allowing undocumented students to receive in state tuition. This article talks about how Maricopa Community College allowed undocumented students to receive in state tuition following the creation of the deferred deportation by President Obama. As a result, Maricopa Community College was sued by the state of Arizona.

A judge has ruled that federal law not state law governs residency status and that the state was in no position to challenge the rates offered by Maricopa Community College. I anticipate that this decision will be challenged and defer Maricopa Community College ability to offer in-state tuition rates to undocumented students.
