Colleges look at policy for illegals

by Philip D. Brown

A policy is currently being drafted that would allow undocumented immigrants who graduated from a U.S. high school access to the North Carolina Community College system.The Policy Committee of the Board of North Carolina Community Colleges requested late last week a draft policy be prepared for them to review, according to a state community colleges spokesperson.North Carolina Community College System Director of Marketing and External Affairs Megen George said the policy committee asked for the draft policy to be developed for review at a special working session August 19.“The draft policy would be similar to the policy that is currently in place in the University of North Carolina system,” George said. “That policy allows the admission of undocumented immigrants, and they have to pay out-of-state tuition.”
