Illegal immigrants would be barred from attending the University of Georgia, Georgia Tech and any other public college that doesn't have the space to admit all academically qualified applicants, under a recommendation a state committee approved Tuesday.
The committee, assembled by the State Board of Regents, also recommended that all Georgia colleges verify every admitted student seeking in-state tuition to determine if the student is in the country legally. Illegal immigrants are not eligible for in-state tuition.
The regents are scheduled to vote on the suggested policy changes next month. If approved, the changes would be in effect with applications for the fall 2011 semester.
