A federal judge has blocked the University of North Texas from charging out-of-state American students higher tuition than some undocumented Texas students who are allowed to pay the lower, in-state tuition rate under a 2001 law. He ruled the state statute violates the U.S. Constitution., our daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.
The ruling centers on Texas’ 2001 law allowing undocumented students who have lived in Texas for three years and graduate from a Texas high school to pay in-state tuition. Two years ago, the right-leaning TPPF filed the lawsuit, pointing out that the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 states that an individual “who does not legally reside in the United States should not be eligible for a postsecondary education benefit granted on the basis of where someone lives unless United States citizens qualify for the same benefit.” Therefore, they argued, out-of-state students shouldn't have to pay more than undocumented Texas students.
TPPF lawyer Rob Henneke said he’s excited the ruling will make Texas colleges and universities more affordable for out-of-state students.
