[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a law that keeps those numbers artificially low? Non-resident and international students are a cash cow and their stronger stats would likely get UVA over the hump and into the top 20.[/quote]

There's absolutely no reason Virginia residents should support or care about any of this.

What's wrong with a flagship public university being more diverse and broadminded? University of Michigan has long been about 50% non-resident and international students and nobody in the state of Michigan cares. I can't tried a single article, column or editorial on the topic. And nothing on record by any legislators or governors.[/quote]

How do you know that UVA isn't "diverse and broadminded" enough already with the 30% OOS and 5% international that it already has? What level of each is required to achieve "diverse and broadminded" enough for you? Given that there are only a limited number of slots at UVA, and increasing OOS / international necessarily comes at the expense of in-state students, I can't see why any Virginia resident would care about increasing the number of OOS / international students for such a nebulous purpose.

But the main point is that Virginia residents have no reason to care that OOS / international students would supposedly "get UVA over the hump and into the top 20".[/quote]
