Part of the increase in funding was the agreement that UVa increase enrollment in response to the “Top Jobs Act” which calls for an increase of 100,000 degrees conferred to in-state students at Virginia’s public two- and four-year institutions over the next 15 years, focusing on STEM degrees. The overall increase in enrollment at UVa was targeted to be 1,500. The time frame seems to be a moving target, again based on the state ponying up funds, but the target was five years. The ratio of IS/OOS students remains the same, so for every 100 additional students 2/3IS:1/3OOS.

I agree this is nothing to get excited about. It appears to be nothing more then a ‘focus group’ and I don’t give it any more weight then that.
