    In-State Tuition for Undocumented Students in Utah
    Robinson, Jennifer L. (Center for Public Policy and Administration, University of Utah, 2007-02-13)
    Utah is one of the states that allows undocumented students to pay in-state tuition at state colleges and universities. However, there is significant disagreement over whether undocumented students can legally attend a public institution of higher education and pay in-state tuition. This report illustrates two cases have developed in recent years challenging such laws, including lawsuits in Kansas and California. Although both cases were unsuccessful challenges to tuition benefit laws for undocumented students, the debate continues in many state legislatures (Morse 2007).

    The role of peripheral physiology in the experience of emotion has been debated since the 19th century following the seminal proposal by William James that somatic responses to stimuli determine subjective emotion. Subsequent views have integrated the forebrain's ability to initiate, represent and simulate such physiological events. Modern affective neuroscience envisions an interacting network of “bottom-up” and “top-down” signaling in which the peripheral (PNS) and central nervous systems both receive and generate the experience of emotion. “Feelings” serves as a term for the perception of these physical changes whether emanating from actual somatic events or from the brain's representation of such. “Interoception” has come to represent the brain's receipt and representation of these actual and “virtual” somatic changes that may or may not enter conscious awareness but, nonetheless, influence feelings. Such information can originate from diverse sources including endocrine, immune and gastrointestinal systems as well as the PNS. We here examine physiological feelings from diverse perspectives including current and historical theories, evolution, neuroanatomy and physiology, development, regulatory processes, pathology and linguistics.

    States Taking Charge: Examining the Role of Race, Party Affiliation, and Preemption in the Development of In-State Tuition Laws for Undocumented Immigrant Students
    Nelson, Stephen L.; Robinson, Jennifer L.; Glaubitz, Kara Hetrick (Michigan Journal of Race and Law, 2014)
    Immigration policy “continues to command significant attention in state legislatures” across the United States, and in-state tuition benefits for undocumented immigrant students remain near the center of this ongoing debate. Given the controversy and passion surrounding the issue, in-state tuition benefits for undocumented students can be described as the intersection of immigration policy and education policy in legislatures across the United States. This Article does not seek to advance any particular position in this policy controversy; rather, it aims to examine more deeply the development and future viability of such laws in the instance of a preemption challenge in state or federal court. The purpose of this Article, in other words, is twofold: (1) to understand the development of laws regarding tuition benefits for undocumented immigrant students throughout the country, in the context of race and party affiliation; and (2) to examine the federal preemption implications for state legislation regarding tuition benefits for undocumented immigrant students.
