Appeals court rules against immigrants over in-state tuition
Ruling claims DACA policy is not law

ATLANTA — Immigrants who have been granted temporary status to stay in the U.S. will have to keep paying out-of-state tuition after an appeals court ruled against them, saying state colleges and universities in Georgia aren't required to let them pay in-state tuition. Georgia's state colleges and universities require verification of "lawful presence" in the U.S. for in-state tuition. The Board of Regents has said students with temporary permission to stay under a 2012 program known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, don't meet that requirement.
