NASHVILLE (AP) — The state attorney general says Tennessee’s public colleges and universities can’t be left to decide whether to offer in-state tuition breaks for students whose parents brought or kept them in the country illegally. Attorney General Herbert Slatery’s opinion says state lawmakers would have to pass a bill explicitly making those immigrants eligible. The opinion addresses state legislation proposing that the boards of individual schools determine eligibility for in-state tuition.
