<p>Yes, the deal struck with the state a few years ago was that UVa would increase its in-state and out-of-state enrollments, while maintaining the historic ratio - provided that the state came through with sufficient funding to serve the additional in-state students. My understanding is that the state has fallen short of that promise, which apparently caused UVa to slow down their intended enrollment growth. </p>
<p>As part of that same deal, much of the enrollment growth was supposed to be targeted towards STEM majors.</p>
<p>So if Virginians are unhappy with the number of in-state seats at UVa, maybe they need to ask their Governor and Legislators why the state didn’t come through with the funding needed to increase the in-state enrollment, as was planned?</p>
