Comments about ‘Utah's higher ed schools tracking nonresident students properly, audit singles out 2 state colleges for errors’

Does it bother anybody else that SUU was not mentioned as one of Utah's Major Univerisities? Southern Utah is always being ignored by those in the north!

Note carefully that this ONLY regards "proof of residency" in Utah for a year.

It does NOT do anything to check to ensure that the students are not here illegally. Therefore, our tax dollars are subsidizing the education of people who are not legally eligible to even be here. Not only do they attend school but they get the cheaper "resident" rate!

We need to do as the final sentence in the story tells us:
"...Arizona, which requires students to show proof of U.S. citizenship, in addition to proof of residency"

We have many students here legally from foreign countries, so this is not about keping out "foreigners" but about demanding and enforcing respect for our laws.

@DN Subscriber - Get over it. I'd rather have the illegal folks educated than not.

Here's the flipside. My husband and were born in Utah, worked and paid taxes here until my husband was 40 years old. We moved out of state just before my oldest son left for college. We were told he would have to pay out of state tuition, even though we contributed for many years. Luckily he got into BYU where residency didn't matter.
