<p>Thanks Dean J for the latest information and the feedback on quotes.</p>
<p>I do not want to give the impression I’m hammering you or any of the fine people at UVA with the questions that has been debated on this thread. The question was why do in state parents have concerns with the ratio of in/OOS? I believe I have learned something from the debate (7% state funding) and hopefully calmer heads have learned something about my concerns. This debate is going on in many other states as well given the harsh economic times we live in. I believe UVA (and all of our state schools) are excellent. The fact that we are having the debate in fact speaks for itself since both top notch students in and OOS desire to attend UVA. It is a testimony to the school staff, and students. It speaks for itself. </p>
<p>Thanks again to all the posters (well maybe all) for joining the discussion. I’m sure you are all busy and are concerned enough and passionate enough about UVA to provide your input.</p>
<p>Lastly, I hope all will note that I’m a big fan of Thomas Jefferson and his way of looking at the world. It is amazing how applicable his thoughts are today over two hundred years after he put them to pen, is it not?</p>
