Abortion will not be made illegal in Michigan, unless there is a nationwide ban, in which case she will be very close to the Canadian border and can claim asylum. Please encourage her to register to vote in Michigan as soon as she gets to Ann Arbor - and to vote for Gretchen Whitmer for governor in November.

Michigander who went to U of M.

+1. Canada has already said they will treat Americans seeking abortions.

Yep. But we should be advocating for gender-based asylum in case a nationwide ban is implemented. We may need to get our girls out.

Great!

Will be easier for my kid to get into UVA!!

Seriously you will skip a top college like UVA, Rice, etc in these states for the ruling of the govt in that state? It’s not the colleges’s fault and they are not going to leave the state either. Anyways , your kids are only in school for like 6 months anyways…

What they type here and what they do when their kids get rejected from the other schools because of increased competition is very different.

These Red state Universities that today denied our daughters' their civil rights will go belly Up when we pull our daughters and son's college Apps

They have literally already committed the funds from this years admission yields to formulate their staff budget,the health insurance payments for their faculty, their returee pensions and the payments on their debt

The price for treating our daughters as less than equal citizens and exposing them to a Felony record is mass default to:

Tulane, Emory, Vanderbilt, Wash- U, Furman, Texas- Austin, Ole Miss, University of Kentucky... on and on and on

Each and every family will be taking its 200,00- $ 250,000 ( 1/4 million dollars ) tuition elsewhere.....

Your states will return to being economic backwaters

Did you ever stop to think that someone else can take those seats you choose to vacate?

DP Are you familiar with the phrase "out of state tuition?" It's different than what residents pay. Universities tend to like it.

So only people from Alabama will go to colleges in Alabama?

Look, I know what Alabama is like. UAB supports an incredible medical hub and great medical education. Alabama worked really hard to build that. They were rightfully proud of it.

But ... all that now comes with even bigger asterisk. So sure, if you have kids in Mississippi whose parents can afford out of state tuition, then maybe? But it's cheaper to go to Mississippi. The real money was coming from states not in the South.

And those wealthy Southerners are not going to want their kids' degrees to come with that big asterisk. Why would they pay OOS for Alabama, when they could afford a degree not tainted with the yee-haw hillbilly work?

You all have lost the progress you were working on for decades. Decades, and generations.

I'm a Northerner with a degree from UAB, which I knew because I grew up a cardiac kid, and the father-son Kirklin team in Birmingham with the clinic designed by I.M. Pei had perfected the technique I needed.

I spent a lot of conversations trying to explain the "new Alabama" to people. It was a damn hard sell. But if that was hard, just think about trying to sell something nobody wants to buy anymore. Sorry, you guys lost the ball on this one. That's something you will have to deal with. I guess it's worth it to you. Oh, well.

This. States like Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina and Georgia have been pushing "the new south" since the 1980's.

All.Gone.Now.

I’m not so sure.

So many kids from the east coast/north are going to SEC schools and others in the south. They know it’s not a liberal bubble, but they certainly don’t equate the school with the state’s laws. They plan to be there for 4 years. Even colleges in the south have embraced diversity, equity, and inclusion; campuses are more liberal than the state Capitol.

“It was cool for me to go to Bama for my top-notch medical education, but post-Dobbs nobody can or should go to Bama for their top-notch education.”

Whatever.

Go look at the teeny tiny map that shows the few states who still have abortion rights. Are you really suggesting everyone limits ourselves that way?

Did you see that Wisconsin is regressing? It’s not just the south.

Ah. Do you always confuse "can or should" with "want to?"

Actually, I’m underscoring the judgmental aspect of the post. It was totes cool for them to go to Bama (precisely because of the high quality education/specialized renowned program), but now it’s a terrible choice because the world will judge them. Never mind the highly specialized program; just stick to New England lest anyone judge you…with their bias based on abortion.

I haven’t read the comments but yes - DD and her friends have all taken red state colleges off their lists (rising juniors). California was always a huge draw but now they’re all researching colleges in Washington State and Oregon as well. New England colleges still on their lists.

No, I didn't say "it's a terrible choice."

Get this through your apparently thick skull: I said that even fewer people seem to be willing to make that choice. I'm just pointing that out.

Also, "Oh, well."

You need to look up what “irony” means, Skippy. Pro-choice doesn’t involve buying our kids Mercedes because the kid chooses one or agrees to fund a vacation to Tahiti because the kid chooses to go.

I am paying my kid’s college tuition and I have the power of veto.

Again you don’t support their choice! Good thing is many parents cannot continue their tyrannical control over their children after their turn 18. Many children escape their parents grasp to attend the university they want and, gasp, pay for it themselves.

No, I also don’t support their choice to join the nazi party or smoke crack.

Grow up.

Yeah, lots of northern kids pay to go to Florida State themselves. /s.

[Anonymous]

ok, how many kids do you know paying oos tuition on their own

or private school tuition on their own

without a MASSIVE scholarship or emancipation when they can get full tuition aid, it is dang near impossible

More power to them if that is what they want. As long as they understand the consequences, but no, I will not send OUR money to these states.

Well, some National Merit Scholars do, for free, just like they do @ ‘Bama. Great Honors program. They do have some strong undergraduate majors.

FSU also has an exceptional business and taxation program in their law school.

Well, the federal government could require colleges to provide Plan B, and if they don’t, cut off funding or student loan $$$.
