Regents adopt special tuition rate for ‘dreamers’ ahead of court ruling

A little-known policy of the Board of Regents could blunt the financial effect of a new court ruling denying dreamers in-state tuition.

The policy says anyone who is a graduate of an Arizona high school but does not otherwise meet the definition of “residency” can attend any of the state’s three universities for 150 percent of what in-state students are charged.
