Arizona Supreme Court rejects in-state tuition for DACA recipients

Arizona colleges are prohibited from awarding in-state tuition rates to young immigrants who are protected under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, the state’s Supreme Court unanimously ruled on Monday.

Why it matters: The decision will reportedly affect more than 2,000 Dreamers at Arizona public colleges, who are legally allowed to study in the U.S. In 2016, Arizona voters approved a measure that mandates state-funded services and benefits, such as in-state tuition and financial aid, to those who have legal status.
