This session will focus on initiatives and best practices that campus leaders and practitioners have implemented to support undocumented students with and without work authorization. Leading campus and organizational experts will share new campus resources and models. Participants will hear about student experiences, graduate school and career pathways, non-employment based opportunities, how to start a dream center, communities of practices, and more.
University of North Texas Amicus Brief
The Presidents’ Alliance has submitted an amicus brief in support of the University of North Texas (UNT) in the appeals case in the Fifth Circuit of Young Conservatives of Texas Foundation v. Smatresk, et. al. In this case, UNT was sued for charging out-of-state U.S. citizens more than in-state undocumented students.
Texas state law extends in-state tuition eligibility to undocumented students if they meet a number of requirements, including graduating from a Texas high school (or equivalent). The federal district court ruled against UNT, finding that the Texas law setting higher out-of-state tuition for U.S. citizens is preempted by federal law.
Briefing: Arizona Proposition 308: Equal Access & Fairness in Higher Education for All Students
On Wednesday, September 21, 2022, the Presidents’ Alliance co-hosted a virtual briefing on Arizona Proposition 308: Equal Access & Fairness in Higher Education for All Students. This briefing discussed Arizona’s Proposition 308, which would provide equal access to in-state tuition and state financial aid to the state’s undocumented students. Higher education leaders, state policymakers, and immigration experts discussed how Prop. 308 would create equal and fair access to college in Arizona and help bolster the state’s economy. Thank you to our co-sponsors, the American Business Immigration Coalition (ABIC), Aliento, American Immigration Council (AIC), and TheDream.US.
