Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 5029345, member: 153"] I'm not making that last argument. I think some losses are acceptable. I just gave a number of $10-15m. There are schools like West Virginia that are decimating themselves academically while maintaining a huge athletics deficit. This is the position you don't want. But given UConn's financial troubles prior to the legislature's increase, this was territory that UConn was entering. Something has to give. Uconn is very near the point of being unable to fulfill its whole reason for being. It's at 26% out of state residents at this point. As it moves into that 30%+ space with ever increasing tuition, it really begins to act as more of a private university with state residents unable to access it. [/QUOTE]
