Over 100 CU students braved the fierce cold on Wednesday to show support for SB 126, which would grant undocumented Colorado students access to higher education through in-state tuition.
Last week, Rep. Angela Giron, D-Pueblo, and Sen. Michael Johnston, D-Denver, introduced a bill that would allow undocumented students who graduated from high school in Colorado access to in-state tuition.
Proponents of the bill argue that in addition to the human rights benefits, the bill would offer the state many economic benefits as well. The bill sponsors estimate it will allow 900 students to attend state schools and bring in an additional $1.75 million to $4.2 million a year to Colorado higher-education institutions.
