[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For state schools with high in-state tuition, losing their best students is a risk they are willing to take. Maybe the state gov't doesn't care, or believe the kids will come back post-grad.[/quote] State governments (e.g. legislatures) don't really care too much about flagships. Few of their actions directly make the flagships notably better or worse. And their actions don't threaten the continued existence of flagships. There is a certain amount of yapping about favoring in-state students but a lot of that is just class self-interest (along the lines of "people I know can't get their kids into the school"). That's not about retaining the best students for the good of a state's economy. It's about what affluent people and alumni expect from life. [/quote]
