HB978Relating to prohibiting a public institution of higher education from considering a student's immigration status for purposes of the institution's disciplinary process.
Prohibits public colleges from considering a student's immigration status in disciplinary decisions, so less immigration enforcement by state educational institutions.
An institution of higher education may not consider a student's immigration status in making any determination related to the institution's disciplinary process.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a prohibition on public higher education institutions considering immigration status in their disciplinary processes, which limits the scope of immigration enforcement by barring use of that information in campus discipline.
