Thousands of dreamers are going to have to pay more next year if they want to attend any of the state’s three universities or community colleges.
In a brief order this morning the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that it violates both state and federal law to offer those in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program the same tuition as paid by other state residents. The justices did not explain their ruling, promising a full written opinion later.
But today’s ruling may not necessarily mean that DACA recipients who meet other residency requirements will have to pay the same tuition as those coming to Arizona from other states.
