College students in Arizona who participate in the Obama-era DACA program are no longer eligible for cheaper “in-state” tuition, the state’s Supreme Court ruled this week.
The ruling affects so-called Dreamers who attend Arizona’s three state universities and its largest community college.
The unanimous ruling Monday will affect at least 2,000 students who participate in DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals), which began in 2012 and which President Donald Trump has been looking to scrap or change since taking office in 2017.
The court said it would issue a written opinion explaining its reasoning by May 14.
