<p>That would be fine if states made equal efforts to establish and build their state universities. But they don't. Some states, such as California, Virginia, Michigan, et al, have invested heavily in building up their state university systems. Others have skated by due to relying on strong private schools in the region to fill the gap. </p>
<p>By declaring no OOS tutition, you'd see UC Berkeley filled up with many more OOS kids. But smart California kids, whose parents have been paying CA taxes all these years, would not have reciprocal opportunites of equal quality available to them in the low-investment states all those OOS kids came from.</p>
