Did you graduate from Auburn? Are you over 65? Do you think you should be more concerned about Auburn's financial situation than Alabama's?

Yes, no and yes. AU is going thru a major fund raising campaign now (700M already), but money is going to be a major issue at all the Universities in Alabama. AU has always been short on offering Academic Scholarships, but has always attracted the higher academic students. I fear that they are now forcing the in-state students to look elsewhere, because of some of their scoring requirement. It doesn't serve the State to educate other states students.
