Florida's state board of education voted 6-1 on Wednesday to prohibit undocumented immigrants from being admitted to public colleges and adult education programs across the state. The ruling impacts admissions to 28 state colleges and other adult education facilities.
The vote has drawn strong opposition from students and at least one state senator, who criticized the decision's impact on individuals seeking educational opportunities.
Details regarding the specific criteria for admission and any potential appeals processes were not immediately available following the vote.
