[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Out-of-states add geographic diversity to the school, especially international students. In top publics, the out-of-state and international students are better qualified academically.

Would much rather prefer out-of-state students who provide national/international geographic diversity over easy admissions for incompetent students from weak rural school districts who provide "geographic diversity" within the same state. [/quote]

No one said “incompetent students”. “Qualifued students” was specified.

Here’s an example. By statute, California must insure higher education opportunities at UC’s of 12.5% of the high school graduates in any given year. This statutory requirement has led to both expansion of sears and facilities upgrades at UC’s across the board over the past 50-60 years. You don’t have to go back that far to a time when campuses at places like Irvine and Davis were really nothing special. Now they’re top notch. This mandate also led to the construction and development of a whole new campus at Merced just 10 years (?) ago, which now has about 10,000 students.by prioritizing in state students, any UC campus has now become among the hardest in the country to gain admission as an out of state student - and one of the most expensive to attend by a lot and with only a very few exceptions like Michigan.[/quote]
