I loved the UA campus back in 04 when it was about Ole Miss' size. Now the campus has doubled with most of the scholarships going out of state, and I have not seen a bit of relevant academic improvement other than some stupid rankings that mean nothing to employers. What is so wrong with having a state funded university designed to benefit the residents of the State of Alabama?
I agree with this point of view.
Arkansas has also grown tremendously in the past several years and I think the campus feel is going to suffer for it. Lottery scholarships happened.
The Fayetteville campus has grown from 17k students in 2007 to over 25k this fall and is projected to be over 28k in 2015. Its not a "big school" by a lot of standards, but I don't think it should overgrow what the state needs. Raise standards, improve infrastructure, and keep enrollment at sane levels.
