<p>“SUNY can’t charge out-of-staters $30,000 a year… yet.” </p>
<p>I don’t think SUNY needs to start charging Michigan-Virginia-UCONN like comprehensive fees yet either. I do wonder why we can’t begin charging out-of-state students a little more than $10,610 a year in tuition, however. This could be done incrementally over a four year period, and the increased tuition need not be assessed to OOS students already attending a SUNY. A 50% increase over 4 years would bring OOS tuition up to $15,915 – still a relative bargain. Right now a Pennsylvania student who attends Rowan University pays nearly $27,000. The same student would pay a little more than $21,000 at Stony Brook – a much better university in the minds of most impartial observers.</p>
