When this was originally floated last year I had some email conversations with the administration about this, and it did seem strange that a diversity grant would most probably decrease the diversity of OOS students. It seemed like they had already made their minds up no matter what feedback was returned. I know in our scenario (OOS East coast) had this been in place we would not have sent my son to CP as it was simpler no longer value for money compared to other offers he got from elsewhere. When fully enacted it puts CP in in the same price range as places like Georgia Tech and Purdue etc which are much better known both nationally and internationally. For some the money may not matter as much but the ROI for us just would not be there. Curious to see how it plays out over the next few years…
