I was speaking with my Mother last night--she's a former professor at Alabama. She told me that according to some of her friends that still teach at U of A the University is larger than its ever been, more than half of the students are from out of state, professors have received a raise every year for the last four years where other schools in state have not granted a school-wide raise in five. To say revenue is up at the University of Alabama would be an understatement.

I've been a student at Alabama since 2008 (now in a grad program there) and the transformation has been profound. Each year enrollment has increased. Tuition has also increased by several hundred a semester lol.
Revenue has definitely shot up over the past few years and it has show with multiple buildings being constructed/renovated around campus each year.

And I was told by a well off alumni that they've grown the size of the undergraduate classes too quickly by accepting students with marginal test scores and grades in what basically amounts to a money grab. The average ACT score for an entering UA freshmen is 22. At Auburn it's a 27. TIFIW
