Florida Bans Undocumented Students from Public Universities | Panama City Beach News

Florida’s public universities are set to bar undocumented students starting in the 2027-2028 school year, a sweeping policy passed unanimously by the state’s education board — joining similar bans on colleges, GED programs, and soon possibly career training. Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins frames it as “common sense,” arguing taxpayers shouldn’t fund those who entered illegally. The move reverses past protections like the 2014 law granting in-state tuition, and comes amid broader Republican-backed immigration restrictions, even as officials admit they don’t track how many undocumented students currently attend.
