Kansas Immigrant Tuition Battle Heads to Court
The 10th Circuit denied rehearing on a case challenging Kansas in state tuition for illegal immigrants under a 2004 law. About 243 students currently qualify, with 193 at community colleges, 46 at state universities, and four at technical schools. Courts found no proof of discriminatory benefit and framing could affect similar laws elsewhere. State lawmakers vow renewed effort in 2008. An AG spokeswoman notes $163,856 paid to defend the law.
