Nebraska now offers tuition break to children of immigrants
Children of undocumented immigrants now are officially able to pay in-state tuition to attend colleges and universities in Nebraska, the Daily Nebraskan, the University of Nebraska’s college newspaper reported.

To qualify for the tuition break, students must maintain eligibility requirements. The vice chancellor for student affairs at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln said he had not heard of any undocumented immigrants who also were eligible students enrolling this semester, but that he thinks some will enroll soon.

Former New Jersey medical student pleads guilty to stealing a hand
A doctor in California pleaded guilty to charges that he stole a hand from a cadaver while he was in medical school in 2002, The Chronicle of Higher Education reported.

The doctor was charged in 2002 while he was attending the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. After pleading guilty to a reduced charge, the doctor will no longer be able to obtain a medical license in New Jersey during a probationary period
