[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^I'm not sure how I feel about admitting more in state students and less from out of state. To a certain degree, UVA is as good as it is and considered a top national university (and therefor the reason we want our kids to attend) because of the intense competition out of state students face for admission and the caliber of students they are.[/quote]
Hell no, with the quality of students from NoVA and Richmond UVA could fill all slots with top-notch in-state students and did not have to resort to internationals with fake credentials, essays and SAT scores. NoVA kids face the same competition as OOS percentage-wise and can certainly hold their own wrt "caliber" compared to OOS. And before you throw the "diversity" argument at me, the VA candidates have plenty of it, again due to diverse population in NoVA, Richmond and Hampton Roads.

Yes, there may be weaker contingent coming from poorer/rural VA counties, but as a state flagship if behooves UVA to give back to the community and educate kids from less advantaged localities.

As for the article citing the school being broke... UVA's endowment is over $7B. Was it so hard for the good delegate to find this out?[/quote]
