The Trump administration has filed a federal lawsuit against Virginia, challenging the state’s decision to offer in-state tuition rates to undocumented immigrants. This legal action claims that Virginia’s policy violates federal immigration laws and places an unfair financial burden on out-of-state American students who pay higher tuition rates. The lawsuit could lead to significant legal and financial implications for Virginia’s higher education institutions, potentially affecting enrollment policies and state funding. As the case progresses, universities may need to reassess their tuition policies and consider the broader impact on their student populations and financial planning.
