A federal judge in Nebraska ended eligibility for in-state tuition for undocumented students, ruling that the state’s decades-old approach violated federal law. U.S. District Court Judge Brian Buescher quashed a Nebraska statute that let noncitizens pay in-state rates if they lived in the state for at least three years and graduated from a Nebraska high school. The decision follows the DOJ’s lawsuit filed in April, and Nebraska leaders sided with the federal government in a consent decree earlier in the process. The ruling also rejected attempts by groups seeking to intervene on behalf of DACA and Ukrainian immigrant communities. For higher education institutions in the state, the ruling changes tuition revenue assumptions and may affect enrollment patterns for applicants reliant on resident-rate pricing.
