CA Supreme Court Allows Undocumented Students to Pay In-State Tuition

It would be great if the DREAM Act would finally pass, but in the meantime it’s good to know that this week the California Supreme Court unanimously upheld a state statute  (AB 540) that enables undocumented students to pay in-state tuition at state universities if they have attended a California high school for 3 or more years and graduated from high school. In 2008, a California appeals court ruled that extending in-state tuition status to undocumented students conflicted with federal law. California is one of 10 states where undocumented students can pay in-state tuition.
