"out of state tuition"

[I AM I AM I AM MOBIUS]

(rhetorical)__"you can't come to our state and use our colleges"

are they federally funded?

is every McDonald's the same?

(rhetorical)__"ideally, to some standard, despite regional differences

fair enough . . .

public institutions... charging people different rates within a country based on state residency

sounds corrupt and illegal, if McDonald's, evil corporation, did it

should McDonald's be trusted with planning national education policy

given their commitment to standardization?
equality under service,
let's say

,
shirts

American universities are corrupt

I agree.


In other words... Harvard as a brand name?
that institution better exist as a completely private entity

and NOT a part of fully available standardized public services

Harvard is middle of the roadkill in any CapCom thread.

Favorable pricing for in-state residents is a tradition of land-grant and state-supported public colleges.
Because their funding is specifically for the benefit of that state's taxpayers.

Most state schools get most of theor funding from the state not the feds. So of course people from in state get charged less.

[giblets]

They get a lot of their funding from federally guaranteed student loans too.

Tuition, sure, but in terms of who built all the buildings, who pays most of the budget and subsidies? That is state taxpayers. Tuition is part of it, true, but in the big picture the individual states paid and continue to pay most.
