Don't understand why Legislatures fund the recruitment of so many OOS students.


Because some of them stay and become taxpayers.

If A&M and UT Austin were the only schools in Texas, you can bet they would be trying to pull in lots more out of state kids.

A state that wants to grow its economy has to pull in out of staters somehow.

That's part of the heavy recruitment and incentives for Texas kids to Arkansas. Texas is a booming state with a large economic gravitational pull. The fact that we are even able to grow our economy and population base here with Dallas and all of its jobs within a mornings drive from here is good work on our part.

If Texas was stagnant, I imagine our growth here would be a lot stronger than it is. Currently we trade a lot of people back and forth.
