In response to a recent court ruling, Texas public colleges have been instructed to identify undocumented students for reclassification to out-of-state tuition. The Texas Higher Education commissioner emphasized the need to assess the eligibility of students currently paying in-state rates. This policy, set to begin in fall 2025, raises concerns regarding access to higher education for many undocumented youth in Texas, as institutions face challenges in tracking students' immigration status.
"Abruptly raising the price of tuition would make higher education unaffordable for thousands of young Texans who have been through the public school system in Texas."
"There is not a simple way for an institution to determine if a person is undocumented; it's a challenging question."
