[Oacrao-l] Enrollment for Undocumented Students

[Beauchamp, Stephanie]

OACARO Colleagues,

I am starting with this group first regarding our question.  As you are aware, current Oklahoma State Statute allows undocumented students to be eligible for enrollment and out-of-state tuition waivers providing they meet the guidelines in policy.

Due to the motion filed by AG Drummond ending this practice, we are in the process of updating the policy.  Our legal council is considering just eliminating 3.18.6 in its entirety.  However, as I noted in bold above, by doing so, it seems that this would also prohibit our institutions from even enrolling undocumented students - regardless of student status.

My question is - if 3.18.6 were eliminated, would our institutions interpret the policy to mean that they could not enroll undocumented students AT ALL?

Please feel free to respond to the group or to me directly (sbeauchamp at osrhe.edu) with any comments or concerns.  Happy to discuss.
