TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - The backlash against Arizona's tough new crackdown on illegal immigration is now beginning to affect enrollment at the University of Arizona. In a campus-wide e-mail sent out Thursday morning, university president Robert Shelton states, "The families of a number of out-of-state students (to date all of them honors students) have told us that they are changing their plans and will be sending their children to universities in other states."
Shelton goes on to express concern about the impact of SB 1070. He said the decision of students to withdraw "should sadden anyone who cares about attracting the best and brightest students to Arizona."

But at the same time, Shelton indicated the University does not plan to defy the law. He writes, "UAPD, which is one of the finest police operations anywhere, will be receiving extensive training on the specifications of the new law. I have total confidence that they will abide by the letter of the law, which includes a provision that individuals may not be stopped solely on the basis of race, color or national origin."

Now if the “honors” illegals will just self-deport
Oh Happy Day for UA alums. . .
Their enrollment will go up.
As long as they don’t capitulate.
I’ll have to defer to you in AZ, but I know that you could easily get the signatures and likely in one day!
“Do you think the teachers will leave too?”
Ha! Getting rid of tenured teachers is nearly impossible. They’ll whine, but do nothing.
good riddance.
I think we would need legal advice before we do anything like that. I really don’t think they can stop the law. If they get some judge to do that, all we would have to do is call a special election. By that time the people of Arizona will be so mad that it will pass with 85% of the vote.
Right - at least 85% of the vote.
sounds good to me... how hard would that be? Not very is my guess.
i agree - 77k signatures across the state right? or is it per county?
how do we start?
Hildy might know...
“I read that as....”Now we need to focus on getting Meghan McCain to EAT Arizona!”
LOL!
Holy fat girls from Flagstaff, Batman!
Excellent news! ;-)))
Bye...bye....
(Am thinking about a vacation in Arizona.)
I should think it would be against the law for a State University to give foreigners in-state tution and grants whlie denying the same to out of State Americans. It rasis; discriminates based on Nation of Origin.
We should not get too excited. This is a lie the liberal University staff made up. What other out of state school are they going to attend? Maybe California will give them all a place? I don’t know. California has it’s “fair share” of illegals as it is.
I count a dozen or so U of Arizona honors students. Must be waiting for a bus to take them to Cal Tech. Or is it MIT? What a shame.
This is a win win...not only will the illegals be leaving..but the liberals will not be coming!
I don’t think there’s time to get the signature and get it on the November ballot. What happens with signatures is that the other side gets to challenge the signatures..so if you need 77,000, you have to get almost double that to be sure.
hmmm...ok so let’s say we/they get the signatures in AFTER july...it sounds like it will then be put on the ballot for 2012? is that right? if so, how is that possible? how is it possible for a law the governor signed to be halted for 2 years? i’m truly just trying to understand this because it sounds preposterous.
