<p>“What if the Governor lowers the OOS student percentage to say 20% and spreads the remaining cost shortfall amongst the in state students? Would that not be break even cost wise?”
^^^^^
Of course that would accomplish the same thing. But why stop there? If, as you say:
"“anyone who says that the school could not be filled with top notch students from Virginia is dreaming”
why deny 20% of VA’s finest places in THEIR state university? Who are you (or I or the Governator) to deny a top quality education to these VA students? At what percentage of OOS students does UVA quit becoming a GREAT University and just become another run of the mill state college? </p>
<p>“We may be able to analyze the cost of admitting less OOS students by using simple mathematics but what of the impact on the quality of the education? As I have said before there is a benefit to bringing students of different backgrounds to any school and that would certainly suffer if the number of OOS students declines.”

I think many (including me) of the posters on this thread agree with the above. I guess my question to you is do you think the current number of OOS students is too many? </p>

I love these “just a lowly soy bean farmer” lines. LoL. I suspect you are much more than that label might imply.</p>
