The Arizona Supreme Court ruled Monday that recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program are not eligible to receive in-state tuition rates at Arizona colleges.
Justices on the Arizona Supreme Court agreed with the Arizona Court of Appeals ruling, which said Maricopa Community Colleges are not permitted under state and federal law to give DACA recipients in-state tuition, according to The Arizona Republic (https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/arizona-education/2018/04/09/arizona-supreme-court-dreamers-cant-receive-state-tuition-daca/500141002/).
According to the publication, more than 2,000 DACA recipients pay in-state rates at community colleges or state universities in Arizona.
