NC community colleges remove option to admit illegal immigrants

RALEIGH, N.C. (Rocky Mount Telegram) — North Carolina's community colleges must admit illegal immigrants as long as they are 18 years old and high school graduates, a legal decision that reverses a 2004 rule that gave campuses the option to say no.

Leaders at 37 of the 58 community college campuses statewide already had agreed to permit these immigrants to enroll in their schools.
