 In-state tuition not a draw for many immigrants - The Boston Globe
Enrollment figures for six of the nine states with in-state tuition rates for undocumented immigrants found that Texas saw its enrollment of such students increase from about 1,500 in the fall of 2001 to roughly 8,000 last year, said Ray Grasshoff, director of special projects for the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board.
University officials said they were unsure why the numbers have been so low, but some speculated that the prospective students are wary that signing up for in-state tuition might alert immigration authorities.
The total for the 208,000-student University of California does not include the entire university system in that state, where some 2.5 million students are enrolled in higher education institutions.
