On election day, this question is on the ballot. Now I understand it better, and it's not a "free ride" as some would lead us to believe. - Rob
Question 4: The DREAM ACT
If voters approve Question 4 in November, it would allow Maryland’s
undocumented high school graduates to pay in-state tuition at the
state’s public universities, but only if they satisfy some pretty
formidable criteria.
- Their parents must have filed three or more years of income tax returns.
- Students must first go to a community college where they must earn 60 credits or an associate’s degree.
- Students must be admitted to a Maryland public university, having met all academic requirements for admission.
Thus, only after having established a history of filing tax returns,
studying at a community college, and academically earning admission to a
four-year college would an undocumented student be afforded the
opportunity to pay in-state tuition. And, because undocumented transfer
students would count as
non-residents, even though they pay in-state rates, they would not compete for college slots with other qualified Maryland resident students.
