[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all are so lucky to live in VA. We are considering paying $70-$80k to send our kid to one of your schools…if they are lucky enough to even be admitted. [/quote] Maybe Virginia need to shrink the out of state student body to make more spots for taxpayer in state kids.[/quote] The catch is that OOS tuition is a major line item in campus budgets. The struggle has been even more visible than this at Michigan for years. Plus increasing the OOS ratio enhances selectivity. Plus OOS tuition is far more reliable than tax-base support that can be reduced by legislatures. [b]State appropriations are a constant fear at public universities.[/b] So it's tougher math than it looks.[/quote] Except that UVA receives less than 6% of its budget from the Commonwealth. It made this decision a decade ago so it could be autonomous.[/quote] Source? Everything I can see says 11-12 percent.[/quote]
