[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]They are not a net benefit to American students though. And American universities should serve American students first and foremost, rather than existing to milk rich foreigners.[/quote]

I agree completely when discussing public colleges. I wish Virginia state schools were required to take more in-state students.[/quote]

I think if a university takes state funds they need to prioritize state students.  Period.  It's not xenophobic or racist to expect something in return for tax dollars.  I hate that people are so quick to call out xenophobia or racism to something that just plain is not.[/quote]

[b]UVA takes 2/3 from VA - that's a lot. [/b] They get much less funding from the state than a generation ago. [/quote]

Our government should hire Americans preferentially and UVA should take Virginia residents preferentially.  The whole world is flooding here because we used to have it right.  Now it's changing.  It's not racist because there are many people from all backgrounds in VA and in America that are not being prioritized and should be.[/quote]

That's not a lot. UVA takes many more OOS than the other top publics with which it contends. UCLA and Berkeley are less than 10% OOS. Texas schools are for the top 6 -8 percent of public high school students in the state. UNC is now less than 6% OOS. VA residents should be writing their representatives to complain but since UVA takes only 6% of its operating budget from the Commonwealth, it can pretty much do what it wants. Prior legislation to increase the number of in-state students at UVA have all died in committee.[/quote]

There is simply no room left to build unless derelict or obsolete buildings outside the Academical Village get torn down.  The relatively small size of UVA as the Commonwealth’s public uni also maintains selectivity.  Many factors at play in any potential expansion.[/quote]
