Editor’s note: This is the fourth installment in a six-part series about legislation that would affect students. We have asked campus leaders, students, faculty, politicians and administrators to weigh in on this week’s topic of debate: immigration enforcement on campus. Additional note: The Editorial Board solicited viewpoints from both the bill author and the UT chapter of College Republicans. Neither chose to respond. The question: How would House Bill 183 affect the University?
