[quote=Anonymous]Really ridiculous when people complain about paying taxes that support the school.  UVA gets approximately $1000/year/in state student from VA.  For that they give a tuition reduction of $25,000 to each of those kids.  Seems like a really crappy deal for the institution and yet some moron sitting in NOVA complains about paying taxes.  UVA provides a great service to the state of VA and should be appreciated not criticized.  The funds that were the basis of the article and the recent complaining did not come from tuition, fees, or operations.  They were privately raised and invested.  There should not have been any mandate to co-mingle with operations nor should they be ridiculed for being successful for investing those. Bravo to them for being smart investors.  They could build some really interesting things with that money.

There are many other state universities in Virginia that receive a much larger percentage of state support, yet never receive the criticism that UVA and others do.  Instead of complaining about UVA tuition being too high there are other options at many price points with greater state subsidies.  If you don't like the way they run their business please pick somewhere else.  But please don't complain that you are providing this mountain of tax revenue.  I am sure that UVA would gladly give it all back for freedom to run their university as they see fit free from government harassment and self-important taxpayers.[/quote]
