<p>“It would decrease. Because the state is paying more per IS student vs per OOS student in financial aid.”</p>
<p>What statistics do you have to show that? The only thing you said didn’t prove it one way or the other, but leads me to believe that more would be spent per OOS student than IS student. The reason being that 80% of the need would likely be more per OOS student than 100% would be for IS student, because the COA for the OOS student is significantly higher. </p>
<p>I’ll refine my 81% number to be: What percentage of the theoretical loss by not charging the OOS tuition to IS students the university receives from the state, for an average (meaning median) IS undergraduate student.</p>
<p>Does it now back up my argument that the status quo is reasonable, in conjunction with everything I’ve stated before about the university’s options regarding scheduling of semesters, which students take how many credits, and the selectivity? I think so.</p>
