Florida oversight boards advance plan to ban undocumented students from colleges
Two state oversight boards have moved forward with proposals requiring students to prove legal immigration status before enrolling in Florida’s universities and colleges, which would effectively bar undocumented students — including those covered by DACA — from all 30 state institutions. Governor Ron DeSantis has voiced support for the policy, while a coalition of immigrant rights groups argued the move would worsen already declining enrollment at many campuses. The Florida Board of Governors must hold an additional vote before the university policy becomes official.
