<p>If people want to reduce the out of state student percentage, then the Commonwealth of Virginia is going to have to come up with tens of millions of additional state funding a year to make up for the lost tuition dollars. Most of the international students in particular are full pay to UVa, because they are not eligible for AccessUVa aid.</p>
<p>There may be some differences in percentages of in-state students if the numbers include only undergrads or all students. I believe the state standard is only for undergrads. (The Law School and Grad Business schools don’t receive state money anyway).</p>
<p>If you replace 5% of the undergrad student body who are now full pay out of state students with full pay in-state students, that is $20 million a year in lost tuition revenue.</p>
