Prohibits university staff from determining students' immigration status details except when required by federal law, court order or for tuition/financial aid, limiting routine cooperation or data-sharing with federal immigration authorities.
no employee or officer of the university shall determine the specific details of a student's immigration status except when required by federal law, pursuant to a court order or as required in connection with tuition or financial aid eligibility.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds limits on state university employees inquiring into or determining students' specific immigration status details beyond narrow exceptions, creating a form of limited-cooperation/sanctuary policy in higher education that reduces state-level immigration enforcement and data-sharing potential.
