Community colleges board president to step down/LA Times
January 15th, 2008“The president of the California Community Colleges board is expected to step down after state Senate Republicans on Monday blocked confirmation of her appointment by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on grounds that she had supported tuition breaks for illegal immigrants.”
“The Democratic-majority Senate voted 23 to 13 along party lines for her confirmation Monday, but it needed 27 votes to be approved.”
“Last year, Albiani joined the 17 member board of governors in unanimously voting to support state legislation that would have allowed illegal immigrants, under certain conditions, to qualify for student financial aid and community college fee waivers. The legislation was later vetoed by governor.”

Student financial aid and community college fee waivers are presently available only to US citizens.
