DENVER (AP) -- Metropolitan State College of Denver officials are unanimously recommending a measure to cut tuition for illegal immigrants living in Colorado by more than half.
A finance committee and members of the board of trustees met Wednesday to discuss the college's upcoming budget for the next school year. The measure affecting illegal immigrants was a key component.
The budget goes before the full board Thursday. No member was opposed to the budget, which also included other tuition and fee increases.
College president Stephen Jordan was praised for providing more students a chance for an affordable education after presenting the proposed cuts for illegal immigrants.
