[quote=Anonymous]This is from another thread about U-M:

[i]Much of this is attributable to U-M's being a large public university. However, it can also be attributable to U-M not getting much funding from the state of Michigan and thus often operating as if it is a private university (as compared with the Cal schools, Texas or even UVA, VT and UMCP, which give more preference to in-state applicants, unlike U-M). [/i]

It's been like this forever, whether the government was run by D's or R's.  Now what the Michigan state government did do was beef up spending at Michigan State and the directional Michigan schools so that the Michigan residents who didn't get into U-M would still be well-served and get preferences in those schools.  Something similar is going on in Virginia whereby UVA is becoming less accessible for Virginia residents, and even VT as well, so the Virginia state government is beefing up GMU, JMU, VCU, CNU, etc.  The question is whether the Virginia residents will accept this going forward.[/quote]
