UVA is landlocked and can't grow much at all.  The city has grown up around it.  That's why the legislature is pumping money into the other universities and why Virginia has 40 other great options to chose from.  The one time I am aware of a representative introducing a bill to enlarge the class, the bill never made it out of committee.  It was for show only to the constituents[/quote]

Nope.  [/quote]

JMU expanded significantly and I believe it [b]gets less money per student than any other Virginia public college.[/quote][/b][b]

I suspect it’s UVA. About a decade ago, UVA offered to start privatizing and taking less money from the Commonwealth in exchange for more autonomy. That mice has been very successful. Today it receives only 6 percent of its operating fund from the Commonwealth.

No, JMU gets substantially less on a per in-state student basis.  My point was, if the schools grow, like JMU did, they can't guarantee they will get correspondingly more from the state.  Here are the numbers:

Institution	In-State FTE Enrollment	General Fund Appropriation	GF per FTE
Norfolk State University	3,645	$58,802,816	$16,132
Virginia State University	3,056	$44,982,297	$14,719
University of Virginia	14,294	$150,498,551	$10,529
William & Mary	5,105	$48,255,414	$9,453
Virginia Commonwealth University	23,902	$224,583,999	$9,396
Old Dominion University	17,358	$151,806,536	$8,746
University of Mary Washington	3,887	$32,284,770	$8,306
Virginia Tech	23,146	$191,215,607	$8,261
Longwood University	4,160	$33,227,949	$7,987
Radford University	8,067	$62,485,517	$7,746
Christopher Newport University	4,498	$34,150,888	$7,592
George Mason University	24,905	$165,889,872	$6,661
James Madison University	15,929	$93,924,239	$5,896[/quote]

So JMU only gets 56% as much from the state for each in-state student.[/quote]
