‘’’ “Nonsensical”: Kentucky Finally Stops Prioritizing Illegal Aliens for Better Tuition Rates Than Actual Americans’’’

Kentucky has reached an agreement to discontinue in-state tuition rates for illegal immigrants, marking a significant shift in state policy after a legal challenge from the Department of Justice. The settlement comes two months after U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi filed a lawsuit alleging that Kentucky’s approach violated federal immigration law.

The dispute centered on a provision in Kentucky Administrative Regulation 13 KAR 2:045, which had allowed undocumented individuals to qualify for reduced tuition based on residency. Federal statute 8 U.S.C. § 1623 prohibits states from offering postsecondary education benefits to those not lawfully present in the U.S. unless the same perks are available to all American citizens regardless of their state of residence.
