[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's screw over the students we are suppose to be supporting via this tax-payer subsidized university....
VT is encouraging IN_STATE students to defer attendance yet welcomes nearly 4,000 international students (total across the years) with open arms.

How about the university gets its priorities in order and defers the admission of the international students?

Shame on you VT -

Anyone else see misplaced priorities?

Yes. [/quote]

The international students are paying more and supporting Virginia students. From the last CDS 1703/5921 first-year students received need-based financial aid.

If you want VT to behave like an institution with a mission to serve primarily Virginia students, then tuition and/or tax dollars will need to be increased and go to higher education. The state is spending 30% less on higher education than it was in the 90s, adjusted for inflation.[/quote]

VT could survive if they delayed international students for one year and accepted none the following year.  The development office could do a short giving campaign to make up the difference from the one year lack of international tuition.  It's not difficult to put your residents and citizens first.  Really.[/quote]
