Most of the unverified Social Security numbers of college students found by the state Department of Higher Education probably belong to people who are in Arkansas legally, Gov. Mike Beebe said Friday.
The department, following an edict from the governor to make sure illegal aliens are not paying in-state tuition to attend state colleges or universities, has checked the Social Security numbers of about 120,000 students enrolled for the spring semester.
Officials have been unable to verify about 1,500 so far and the schools are being notified, state Higher Education Director Jim Purcell said Friday.”*
