Undocumented immigrants would be barred from admission to state colleges under a proposed rule by the Florida Department of Education.
The rule would also give schools the discretion to consider students’ past misconduct in making admission decisions.
Under the proposal each board of trustees in the Florida College System would be require to “ensure that all students admitted to the Florida College System institution are citizens of the United States or lawfully present in the United States.”
Students would have to “provide clear and convincing documentation that he or she is a citizen of the United States or lawfully present in the United States,” before admission.
The documentation must also be “must be credible, precise, and compelling.”
A hearing on the proposed rule is set for May 14 at Miami Dade College.
The rule would only apply to Florida’s 28 state colleges, not to its 12 state universities.
