Arizona court rules DACA students not eligible for lower in-state tuition
PHOENIX -- Arizona's three state universities and its largest community college district say they will raise tuition immediately for young immigrants with deferred deportation status under the DACA program in the wake of a court ruling. The Arizona Supreme Court ruled that young immigrants in the program started by former President Barack Obama are not eligible for lower in-state college tuition.
The unanimous ruling Monday will affect at least 2,000 students attending the state's largest community college district and hundreds more at other colleges and the state's three public universities.
The Maricopa County Community Colleges District and state universities said they would raise tuition for the coming school year.
First word of the 7-0 decision came in a tweet from Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich. The court said it would issue a written opinion explaining its reasoning by May 14.
