<p>As drizzit points out, this law had a devastating effect on colorado, already low nationally on per-student spending on the college level. They lost a Nobel prize winner over it, they lost job candidates over it, oos applications went down, classes/majors were cut, class size went up. Lower education suffered dramatic cuts, with districts having to choose between fixing roofs and cutting teachers. It's going to take years to recover from these financial setbacks.</p>
