A bill that would have provided in-state tuition rates to undocumented students failed before the Arkansas Senate on Monday.

The vote was 13 for 21 against.

Sen. Joyce Elliott’s bill would have required undocumented students to have graduated from an Arkansas high school and have attended an Arkansas high school for at least 3 years to qualify to in-state rates.

Senators claim they were flooded with e-mails and phone calls over the weekend. Most of the response was against the bill.
