FSU Backs Bill for Immigrant Tuition | TheLedger.com

This is interesting to note. Do you remember when immigration was one of the central issues in Lake Worth? Click title for link.
Outgoing Florida State University President Eric Barron said Friday that the school supports measures in the Legislature to allow certain undocumented students to be eligible for in-state tuition.
A proposal (HB 851) that would exempt from out-of-state tuition students who attend Florida high schools for three consecutive years, as well as military veterans who reside in the state, has already received support from two House committees.
"The university has taken a position that we should be educating, and the doors open to, any of the students that are graduating," Barron said while giving departing comments to the FSU board of trustees. "Nothing is better for the state of Florida than to see truly bright students have an opportunity and succeed."
