EMU Board of Regents made an important announcement today regarding passing tuition equality for undocumented students and military veterans for Fall 2014. They agreed to make revisions towards EMU's residency policy granting in-state tuition for those whom graduated from a Michigan or Ohio high school. This was a big win for everyone involved in making this dream a possibility for these future students, the parents of these students, and for the general outlook of Eastern Michigan University within the state of Michigan.
