Florida Board of Governors Approves Rule Prohibiting Undocumented Students from Enrolling in Public Universities

The Florida Board of Governors unanimously approved a new rule (Rule 6.001) that prevents students 'present in the United States unlawfully' from enrolling in any of Florida's public universities. This decision was made despite public outcry and is expected to restrict opportunities for thousands of undocumented students graduating from Florida high schools annually.
