[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Virginia and NC had better sense they double OOS students. Why should taxpayers subsidize the privileged instate students

The majority of students at university of Delaware are OOS and pay higher tuition.

My daughter who went UMASS Amherst it is actually harder to get in as an instate student as in state students they lose money on in state.

[b]Virginia should focus OOS [/b] [/quote]

This is laughable.

What’s the point of STATE schools?  To serve OOS kids?[/quote]

The problem with UVA is that it is not serving enough instate students.   The state of Virginia is still growing. Sending too many of your brightest instate students OOS for their education, the commonwealth  can expect to experience more brain drain in the future.  Virginia needs to grow its flagship to better accommodate its top students. [/quote]

This is not a problem. No matter what people wish, it's not going to grow a lot. It simply doesn't have the space. As the state grows from NOVA to Tidewater it will continue to provide high paying jobs from all fields bringing people back to the state. Schools like JMU/GMU/CNU will continue to rise with bright students, this is a good thing.[/quote]

It has the space.  There are many schools with much higher density.

However, I don't think significant expansion makes sense as it would fundamentally change the nature of the school and greatly impact Charlottesville.  UVA growth is in line or greater than comparable schools in other states.  UT Austin had 48K students in 1980 and 51K today.  If UT had grown at the same rate as the state, it would have 110K+ students.  [/quote]
