HAPPY ENDING IN VIRGINIA TUITION CASE

Recently, I wrote about the case of a Virginia high school student denied in state tuition at the University of Virginia because his parents are illegally present in the US (despite the fact that the student was born in the United States and is a US citizen). I'm happy to report that the school received an opinion from the Virginia Attorney General that permits universities to make exceptions for students over the age of 18. That's not perfect, but it is certainly an improvement over the prior obviously unconstitutional policy.

Hat tip to Dan Kowalski for this.

Would like to ask, what happened Mark Kirkorian..you dont seem to be making headway in a potentially racist state...

Is this policy of denying US citizens aid, being challenged in the courts?

I wonder if his parents are being deported at the same time. So perhaps "happy ending" is not an appropriate expression.
