But to be clear, you said it was non-news because these kids got in anyway, not that you couldn’t find the information. IMO it IS big news. There are different ways to attract talent or to try to keep talent in state. One is to “buy” residents with automatic scholarship $ (which they have to maintain their performance when in college to keep the scholarship.) My own state does this. Others may not have the funds to give a lot of scholarship money, but the free community college as well as auto admit sends a clear signal. It may well make it harder for OOS kids to get into UT. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Might bring brighter OOS kids instate.
