“Today is the day for which Arizona's young dreamers and our Latino
communities have long hoped. Finally our dreamers will be able to seek higher
education at an affordable cost, fulfill their dreams as college graduates and
soon join our economic workforce to help build a stronger Arizona,” said
Senator Miranda. “I know that by allowing dreamers access to our state
universities we will see an increase in these students applying, attending and
graduating. These are students that have been oppressed for far too long and
they are ready to bring innovation to our economy.”
“Thank you, Regents, for your courageous decision and for putting the
best interests of Arizona first. I am delighted in the outcome of this decision
and optimistic for the bright future in store for Arizona.”
