Kentucky's In-State Tuition Policy for Illegal Immigrants Permanently Blocked by Federal Judge

A federal judge has permanently blocked the enforcement of Kentucky's in-state tuition policy for illegal immigrants, effectively ending their eligibility for reduced tuition rates at state public colleges. The ruling, which disregards a state law passed in 2017, declares that the program violates U.S. law and its terms are no longer enforceable. As a result, undocumented students will no longer be able to receive discounted tuition rates under the Kentucky Student Assistance Program. This decision marks a significant shift for education policy in the state of Kentucky.
