The law is concerning to some students who feel it's minimizing diversity on campus.

"I think that the U of A is a somewhat diverse campus. There are a lot of people from many different cultures and backgrounds, but I think that it needs to be encouraged more," said Bianca Delgado, a freshmen at the U of A.

Some faculty members share the same concerns. One university professor says he is worried that students will not get the education they strive for, simply because they can't afford it.

"You have strict prohibition as to who can attend college and who can receive financial aid. The biggest tragedy in my opinion is that it's the equivalent of self-censorship,"said Roberto Rodriguez, an assistant professor in the department of Mexican American and Raza Studies at the U of A.
