I can appreciate the strategy, I just can’t believe it has t caused mutiny among the citizenry. Isn’t the primary objective of all public universities to benefit their state, both the kid, taxpayers, and local industry.
In-state student enrollment has stayed pretty much the same. Total enrollment has risen and has mostly been out of state. They aren't slashing in-state students. They are adding students and almost all of them are out of state.
However, that's been changing the last few years. Enrollment has peaked at this point and been basically the same for 5-6 years.
U of A Students - from Alabama (% of total)
2017 - 15,965 (41.4%)
2018 - 15,394 (40.1%)
2019 - 15,135 (39.7%)
2020 - 15,672 (41.4%)
2021 - 15,694 (41.0%)
For perspective, total enrollment back before the influx of OOS kids (and OOS was still 20-25% at least, speaking as one, though it was much more Florida/Tennessee/Georgia/Texas/Louisiana centric).
2000 - 19,318
2001 - 19,171
2002 - 19,633
2003 - 20,333
2004 - 20,969
2005 - 21,835
I hope they continue to slowly compress back towards a reasonable undergrad level of around 25K or so and 50-55% in-state.
