Tina Kotek on Immigration

 

 


Expand state college aid to undocumented students

Excerpts from The Oregonian:
  • A party-line vote approved legislation that would expand state college aid to undocumented students.
  • SB932 marks another step toward "tuition equity" in Oregon, allowing immigrants brought to the US by their parents to pay in-state tuition rates when attending Oregon colleges.
  • Under SB932, those students would be eligible for state tuition grants worth about $2,000 a year.
  • State officials estimate up 350 undocumented students, often from low- income families, will be able to receive grants & attend college. SB932 adds funding for 13,000 more students overall to qualify for state tuition grants.
  • The vote was acrimonious: opponents pointed to a ballot referendum that would have issued driver's cards to residents without proof of immigration status. Oregonians voted down the measure in droves.Legislative Outcome:Passed Senate, 17-12-1; passed Assembly 34-25-1; Speaker Kotek voted YES; Signed by the Governor 8/12/2015
