[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 827125, member: 198"] So are you arguing that we need to increase enrollment because there are enough under-privileged and legacy applications to warrant doubling out engineering enrollment or that we need to better fund scholarships so that out-of-state lower income kids can come attend? I’m okay discussing either, but your second comment doesn’t seem to jive with your first. Maybe they’re intentionally unrelated and I just tied them together myself. As for underprivileged and low income applicants/enrollees from Florida, GT is a state school. It’s primary purpose is to serve the needs of Georgia kids and families. I think any instate kid that can get into GT should afford to go. For Florida kids, UF, UCF, USF, FSU, and all the other state schools are there to support underprivileged kids. It’s not Georgia Tech’s job as a state-sponsored institution to ensure that out-of-state kids can afford to attend. I would not have a problem If Georgia, Florida, Alabama, and South Carolina (or Southern states in general) had reciprocity agreements for waiving out-of-state tuition. They have it here in the Midwest and I know bordering counties used to have that agreement. We leave a lot of talent for many other schools to pick up. So does Cal, UVA, Illinois, Michigan, Perdue, Texas, and other elite engineering programs at public schools. [/QUOTE]
