WABE&#8217;s Jim Burress reports. <\/p>\n<p>The Board of Regents adopted two resolutions . The first specifically denies in-state tuition to someone in the US illegally. The second requires campuses to review all applications for fall admission and determine whether undocumented students are receiving federal or state benefits. <\/p>\n<p>John Millsaps, spokesman for the University System of Georgia, says the process could identify indivudals who are not eligible for in-state tution and should pay out-of-state tuition. &#8220;Those people may be legal US citizens,&#8221; Millsaps said. &#8220;They might be undocumented individuals. It could be both.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Regents also developed a committee to look into how rigorously standards of verification now are. D.A. King, an outspoken opponent of illegal immigration, says that&#8217;s encouraging. But he says universities must go one step further.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If they continue to admit illegal aliens into our university system, I will take them to civil court as well as having filed complaints with the state and federal government,&#8221; King said.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, universities don&#8217;t check students&#8217; immigration status for admission purposes.
