"It's decided: States may allow undocumented students to pay the lower in-state tuition paid by U.S. citizens and permanent residents.

New York is one of 13 states that have immigrant-friendly tuition rules. Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court let stand a California law that sets out tuition rules similar to those followed in New York. The case, Martinez v. Board of Regents of the University of California, revolved around whether a federal statute prohibited a state from granting in-state tuition. It does not.

New York, California and the 11 other states can safely continue to grant undocumented students in-state tuition rights.
