Florida’s State University System board advanced a proposal that would effectively bar undocumented students from selective public universities’ admissions pipelines starting in 2027–28. The policy change would prevent SUSF institutions from accepting applicants present in the U.S. unlawfully if a campus did not admit all academically qualified applicants in the prior two academic years. The board’s action signals a continued tightening of access based on immigration status, framed as prioritizing Florida residents. The proposal would not affect students already enrolled under existing admissions. The move follows broader state scrutiny of undocumented participation in public higher education and sets up likely legal and advocacy challenges over eligibility standards, access, and capacity-based admissions justifications.
