The privatization of state schools is well under way all across the country. The old model of state flagships mission to provide a cost effective quality education to as many in state students is gone, gone, gone. Now it’s about rankings and revenue. Out of State and international students bring diversity, spread the university name, increase SAT scores & selectivity and bring the $$$. It’s not hard to see who the prettiest girl at the dance is. In state B+ students with OK SAT scores and financial aid need are the red headed step children in the current system. IMO it’s too bad but it’s not going back and college costs will continue to grow for students. If schools need to go to China to find well funded students they will do it.
