Missouri bans college aid to undocumented students - Koran Addo, STL Today

Just one month before classes start, dozens, and possibly hundreds of Missouri college students are suddenly finding out their tuition is about to more than double because of a rule change passed by Missouri lawmakers. The new rule says public colleges and universities must charge so-called DACA students the highest rate of tuition available — either the out-of-state or the international rate. DACA students are those who are brought to the U.S. as young children and are undocumented through no fault of their own. They are legally allowed to stay in the country under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, known as DACA. http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/education/missouri-bans-college-aid-to-undocumented-students/article_8376fb03-168b-58cd-87fc-aa9b24083004.html
