Texas colleges to send out reminders to undocumented students

"Just in case undocumented students receiving in-state tuition at Texas public colleges and universities forget that they pledged to apply for permanent residency status as soon as possible, a new rule approved today by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board requires their institutions to send them annual reminders." - Texas Tribune, Jan. 26, 2012.

"Some concerns have been raised about the possible dilemma for students whose contact with federal immigration officials might result in self-exposing their undocumented status." - San Antonio Express-News, Jan. 27, 2012.

[Hats off to the Tribune and Express-News for dropping the I-Word!]
