Georgia Professors Offer Courses To Undocumented Students Barred From Public Universities
A harsh new anti-immigrant policy in Georgia hasclosed the doors of some of the state’s best universities to undocumented students.But a group of five professors have devised a plan to give some of these students at least a taste of the education they’ve been denied by GOP lawmakers:
В and aimed at students who have graduated from high school but can’t go to one of those top schools because of the new policy or because of cuts to state scholarship programs.«This is not a substitute for letting these students into UGA, Georgia State or the other schools,» said Pam Voekel, a history professor at UGA and one of the program’s initiators.«It is designed for people who, right now, don’t have another option.»
The professors said they’reВ seeking accreditationВ so credits could be transferable in the future if their students are accepted at other state universities.The program has minimal costs, with professors donating their time and a local Latino community outreach center offering a free space.
Last fall, the university system’s Board of RegentsВ barred any state college or universityВ that has rejected academically qualified applicants in the past two years from admitting illegal immigrants.That includes five of Georgia’s top colleges and universities.Undocumented students can still apply to other public schools for higher education, but only if they pay significantly higherВ out-of-state tuition.
