News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

Nearly 4,000 state college students can't prove status

FROM STAFF AND AP REPORTS

January 9, 2008 - 10:58PM

Nearly 4,000 students in the state's universities and community colleges failed to qualify for lower in-state tuition rates this school year because they couldn't prove they were legal U.S. residents.

Seventeen of those students attend Arizona Western College, and while Northern Arizona University-Yuma doesn't have a number of students affected, its student enrollment was down.

Since the implementation of Proposition 300, which bars undocumented students from getting in-state tuition and state-funded financial aid, its effect on student population at NAU-Yuma is reflected in the decrease in enrollment, said Krista Rodin, NAU-Yuma associate vice president and campus executive officer.
