On Wednesday, September 21, 2022, the Presidents’ Alliance, along with our partners, hosted “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 Arizona Prop. 308 would create equal and fair access to college in Arizona and would help bolster the state’s economy.

This briefing shared useful resources and advocacy opportunities around Proposition 308.
