New Higher Education Case

By immigrationprof

In the most recent higher education immigration/residency case, the Mexican American Legal Defense & Educational Fund and others filed a case bringing a challenge to Cal Educ Code § 68040; 5 CCR § 41904 and the State Constitution (postsecondary residency and financial aid provisions) in California Superior Court, County of San Francisco, in Nov, 2006, Student Advocates for Higher Education et al v Trustees, California State University et al.  Citizen students with undocumented parents are being prevented from receiving the tuition and financial aid benefits due them, at least in part because the California statute is not precisely drawn (or imperfectly administered).   Click here Download SFOLIB1-27252647-v1-JENNIEDOEPetitionforWritofMandate.doc for the Petition for the Writ of Mandate filed in the case.  We will update our readers as the case progresses.
