Florida’s State Board of Education approved a policy to bar undocumented students from the 28-institution Florida College System, limiting admissions to U.S. citizens and those “lawfully present.” Students must also provide documentation before enrolling. The move could sharply affect enrollment, with analysts estimating tens of thousands of Florida community college students may be undocumented, and projecting meaningful tuition and fee revenue losses. The policy comes as Florida’s separate public university system is also poised to advance a similar ban. The decision adds to a broader set of state restrictions aimed at undocumented students, including the repeal of in-state tuition eligibility. Nationally, the approach is already facing legal pressure, with courts striking down similar state bans at the request of the U.S. Department of Justice.
