re: SEC Schools : Enrollment % by State (per University enrollment reports)

State appropriations now only account for about 15% of UA's operating budget. With the legislature uncommitted to funding higher education, UA had to look elsewhere for support. The influx of OOS students has tremendously helped the balance sheet and they've also helped raise the academic profile and diversity at UA. The average freshman class scores have improved every year since the expansion started. I'm pretty pleased with the direction UA is heading, to be honest.
