News & Observer: Colleges may admit illegals
Federal officials say N.C. schools aren’t required to consider students’ status

North Carolina is free to admit illegal immigrants to public colleges and universities, federal officials said Friday.

“It is left for the school to decide whether or not to enroll” illegal immigrants, said a statement released by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “The Department of Homeland Security does not require any school to determine a student’s status.”
