[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want my state to recruit the smartest and most productive and interesting kids to come here because I know there’s some likelihood they will stay and contribute to making my state better. I don’t care what race or background the kids are.  It’s malfeasance for a state NOT to be doing this. [/quote]

That's not what is happening. They are recruiting from rich white areas to get a bunch of rich kids to pay out of state and correct some budget deficits.

That is why so many W kids go to Michigan. It was a budget issue.

UVA tried to do it with Montgomery County kids but a group of parents sued the school for taking essentially the exact same kid from a W school vs a northern VA school just for the $$, and the parents won, which is why UVA now has a limit on OOS kids from places like MoCo. [/quote]

That's fair, because UVA also has an in-state limit on kids from places like Fairfax, Loudoun, and Arlington County. =D[/quote] source?[/quote]

NP, restrictions by school/jurisdiction make sense, however UVA claims they don't practice that:
[i]"Do you have quotas or targets for certain schools or areas?
No. While we maintain a 2/3 majority of Virginia residents in our student population, there are no restrictions on how many students we may admit from a particular school, town, county, or region"[/i]
