UVA raising in-state tuition 10%

If you read the article they are raising tuition so they can lower loans for those most in need. There's no perfect answer to get costs down. The price of higher education at both state and private schools is out of control and really most accessible for the wealthy and those most in need. The middle class is losing out big time.

What bothers me is this idea that parents have to subsidize other kids (on top of paying for their own) instead of all the taxpayers doing it. All of the taxpayers should be subsidizing the lower income students, not just the parents of others who go to college. That's how it used to work in the "old days".

Well, yes. Full freight suckers subsidize other people's kids. Whether this is fair or not is for others to determine.

If you want to have a State University like Berkeley in a low tax State like Virginia, then you had better pay Berkeley prices.

Apparently you didn't go to University of Virginia yourself, or any other reputable educational institution, if you still fail to know that the adjectival form of the noun "Democrat" is "Democratic". Since the word is modifying the noun "governor", you should be using the adjective. Otherwise you sound like an ignorant Fox News drone.

You're welcome.

The governor is a democrat; not a democratic.

You did not use a verb in your phrase (at the top) so you have an adjectival phrase (but you failed to use the adjective form). The correct word there would be Democratic. If you had used a verb ("is") you would have a subject and a direct object (which are both nominative forms) and then you could use the word Democrat (since Democrat is the nominative form). You still need to go back to school.

From what I understand from a Trustee, UVA now operates independent of the state (because it can primarily due to size of endowment ($6.9 billion) since it has been around since 1819) and is supposed to be entirely self-sufficient. The Board decided to try to increase the amount of scholarships to poor kids, as another PP noted (read the piece), so the money had to come from somewhere. For some reason the 69 billion couldn't be tapped for that (a good question to ask WaPo or the Board). The Board voted to increase in-state by 11% in order to offer more scholarship monies to the poor. The others VA universities still get funds from the state so increases were capped by the VA legislature at 3.6%. The in-state our DC attends was less than $10K a year for tuition when he started 16 months ago - it's now only $10,657, which compared to the almost $70K it could cost to attend my SLAC (including mandatory on-campus room and board for three years) is a steal.

^^ $6.9 billion, not $69 billion, but still makes one wonder why those scholarships couldn't have come out of endowment. I don't know the answer.

Geez, you really were a bad student! And you are an Idiotic from Washington DC!

You are not describing Virginia in your phrase above so you don't need to use an adjective. You have a preposition in between so you need to use a noun. Go back to English class!!!!

^I guess nobody expects much from Republicans when it comes to education.
