NC community colleges reviewing immigrant policy
Published: August 19, 2009
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina community colleges leaders are looking at reversing a ban keeping illegal immigrants out of the statewide system of two-year colleges.
The state Board of Community Colleges held a special committee session Wednesday to discuss admitting undocumented students. The panel recommended rules that would keep immigrants from filling spots sought by legal residents.
A consultant’s study said taxpayers wouldn’t be affected if the immigrant students pay out-of-state rates of $7,000 a year.
The country’s third-largest community college system has changed its illegal immigrant admission policy four times since 2000. The latest look comes as laid-off workers fill classrooms.
A new decision could come as early as Friday.
