A Denver college's move to establish a special tuition rate for illegal immigrant students has spiraled into a legal fight involving the state's attorney general, and a legislative committee has scheduled a conference Wednesday to discuss the issue.

Metro State President Stephen Jordan said the school's board would "revisit" it's recent decision to lower tuition for undocumented students after the conference, FOX31 KDVR reports.

Jordan did not say whether the policy was likely to be altered or not. According to FOX31 KDVR, after the hour-long meeting Jordan said, "We think it's really critical to get this right at the front end, which is why we're going to examine the Attorney General's decision and see what implications it has for us."

The fight between Metropolitan State College of Denver officials and Republican Attorney General John Suthers emerges as President Barack Obama has spotlighted the immigration debate, issuing an order saying certain young illegal immigrants will no longer face deportation.
