<p>Could someone explain why public schools are so set against out-of-state students? Wouldn't it be easier for all schools to treat in-state and out-of-state students the same so it would even out? For example, if student A is from Michigan and wants to go to UCB while student B is from California and wants to go to U Michigan, both will have a harder time getting into those schools and will have to pay more tuition, but if they got rid of the in-state bias, it would be the same as if each student attended in-state schools</p>
<p>It's about taxes. People from California pay taxes that go directly to those schools. Because of this people who pay those taxes have priority when it comes to admission to those schools. However, I bet if someone would challenge it in court under the 14th amendment this whole state discrimination thing would be abolished.</p>
<p>no. It would be under the "full faith and credit" clause.</p>
<p>which is in the 14th amendment jackass</p>
<p>"No state shall make or enforce law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws" ....happened to have the pocket Constitution on my desk....I'm such a Debate nerd, lol.</p>
