N.C. community colleges are the first statewide system to bar illegal immigrants from seeking college degrees, according to the American Association of State Colleges and Universities.
The move has shaken up the academic world by going beyond the nationwide debate over whether undocumented students should pay lower in-state tuition.
“This has really caught the attention and caused a lot of alarm,” said Dan Hurley, the association’s director of State Relations and Policy Analysis. “Charging them out-of-state tuition is one thing, but barring them entirely is another.”*
