3,850 college students denied in-state tuition

Nearly 4,000 students at Arizona universities and community colleges have been denied in-state tuition this year because they failed to prove they were legal residents. The largest share is at the community colleges.

Arizona universities and colleges recently began requiring students to prove their citizenship after state voters passed Proposition 300, a ballot initiative that prevents undocumented students from getting in-state tuition and state-funded financial aid.

Undocumented students can still attend colleges and universities, but they must pay out-of-state tuition. At many schools, the out-of-state prices are more than triple the in-state tuition

What I don't understand is why Universities charge triple for out of state students in the first place. Isn't a student a student?

It is a preference for those state residents to encourage them to attend the States universities

I do...I'm sick of all the illegal hispanics...and non-hispanics. But the majority are hispanics in Los Angeles.

If I didn't care, I wouldn't have made that comment.

The state taxpayers pay for a portion of those universities -- that's the rational. It's something that is supposed to benefit the residents of that state -- not illegal foreign students who bypass getting student visas and paying their own way and not for the residents of other states who have their own universities they could choose.
