A wave of uncertainty has swept through Texas colleges as they scramble to adjust to a new ban on in-state tuition for undocumented students. Recent court rulings have denied motions from students and colleges seeking to challenge the loss of in-state tuition benefits provided by the Texas Dream Act, leaving many reliant on this support in a state of limbo as the fall semester approaches. Civil rights groups are appealing these rulings, while some colleges are faced with the daunting task of complying with the new regulations. Meanwhile, mutual aid funds have been established by local organizations to assist undocumented students burdened by increased tuition costs. The situation remains critical, with affected students seeking clarity amidst the ongoing legal battles.
