Attorney Ashby Comments on the Impact of DACA on American Dreamers

The Memphis Flyer published an article titled “American Dreamers,” highlighting the struggle and triumph local Latino teens face and the impact of DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) on post-secondary education. While Tennessee requires DACA to pay out-of-state tuition costs, Christian Brothers University provides DACA students who graduate from area high schools an opportunity to attend CBU at a reduced cost. Importantly, the upcoming Tennessee legislative session in Nashville offers the chance to pass a tuition equality bill in Tennessee that would allow DACA recipients to pay in-state tuition rates.
