District Judge K. Michael Moore in Florida ruled that U.S. citizen children that have parents who are illegally present in the United States, should be permitted to pay in-state tuition.
Judge Moore found that it was against the equal protection clause to charge a higher rate to students because their parents were illegal. These lawsuits originated because certain Floridian students attending public universities in the state were unable to prove their parents’ immigration status, and therefore were required to pay higher tuition.
