NYT: Expensive public Us/out of state and international students

Many public universities still do subsidize OOS students with generous merit scholarships.

Yes, but only for a select few, rather than all of them via low non-resident list price like was done in the past.

@bclintonk

Taking another tack, the University of Virginia meets full need for all including OOS students, and the University of Michigan is committed to a goal of meeting full need for all its students supported by a $4 billion capital campaign now underway that, if successful, should allow it to meet that goal.

However, both of those schools have very low enrollments of low-to-middle income students (the ones with Pell grants, 12% at Virginia and 13% at Michigan), so that may not seem like a big a thing as it looks.
