“Governor Deval Patrick said yesterday he is studying whether he can bypass the Legislature to clear the way for illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition at state colleges and universities, triggering criticism from Beacon Hill Republicans on an explosive issue that has reverberated nationally.

Speaking before a group of business and civic leaders, Patrick said his legal team is weighing whether the state could grant the lower rate by passing a regulation, which would require approval by the 11-member Board of Higher Education. Patrick’s comments, in response to a question from an audience member, came two years after an in-state tuition bill failed in the Legislature, and amid a debate over illegal immigration in the presidential race.”*
