We know Cajun doesn't have a dog in this hunt. He has only walked the sidewalks of Tuscaloosa and is too stupid to reproduce. Keep arguing with the LSU fans on what constitutes indecent exposure, that is one subject you would know about.

It's funny that you keep accusing other people of only caring about football because it's very clear that your extreme butthurt about Alabama football has blinded you with a severe case of delusional confirmation bias. You're so far gone, you can't even tell which way is up anymore. You see a trend, and by god, it all supports this vast conspiracy of good ol' boy mismanagement you've always fantasized about. It's crazy how that happens, huh?
You act like the increase in tuition has anything to do with this fantasy you have about mismanagement. The increase in college tuition during this time is indeed a problem, but it hardly has anything to do with your little obsession with the alabama board of trustees. Let's take a look at the facts shall we.
Alabama:
National Average:
It's almost like the graphs follow the same trajectory and that the increase in our state is just symptomatic of larger issues resulting in the same pattern across the country. But no, I'm sure that's too straight forward of an answer for you. It must be a conspiracy.
You also ignore the improvements in resources and prestige that has coincided with this growth at UA you're so resentful of, but that's another story. I'm sure you have your reasons. Roll damn Tide, Paul.

No, but for instate tuition to increase 30 fold over a 25 year period is criminal.

You are great at giving the company line as to why education has increased in the state. When the schools were at a manageable size, they were considered some of the best educational bargains in the country. But nobody wants to explain what the large increase in tuition was caused by. Someone has to pay for the new housing, the new academic buildings, the great student activity buildings and the rest of infrastructure. Could the school keep its head above water with 35k instate students? Why should the taxpayer pay to educate and build housing for students that will leave forever after graduation. It is a problem at all the state school, it is just more prevalent at UA. Problem solved if we had a lotto, but that is not going to happen.

She was an stop gap hire because they ran the previous guy out after a short period. Witt thought he could control her as his puppet, when she resisted she was shown the door. Some feel Witt is selling out the School for the sake of growth, she had other ideas on the future of the school.
Look - we get your views on Alabama and their future plans. That's fine. Please don't start trying to tell us how Alabama people feel about those plans and the future.
You are welcome to your jaded opinion, but don't project it on our alumni base.

Everyone that I knew that dealt with her regularly thought she was a very genuine person and was excellent at her prior posts.

No one is forcing anyone to go to UA. If you don't like the tuition don't fricking go. There's 30+ schools you can get a four-year degree from in Alabama. If you don't want to pay the extra for a nice school go else where.
But there are thousands of people going to Alabama because it is the nicest University in the state and thousands of kids coming from out of state,and paying 4x what in state kids pay, because they want to go to a better school.

The taxpayers in Alabama don't pay. UA enrolls more in-state students than any school in the state. They pay for educating them by pulling in scholarship eligible students from out of state.

Iron Puppet does speak some truth. I have a family member in college and when she was making her decision,she had full ride offers from several schools including Alabama. On her visit to Alabama, she didn't feel wanted there, and both her and her parents said the folks they dealt with acted more interested in the 2 out of state candidates also on the visit. Her Dada is a Bama alum and left with a very bad taste in his mouth from the visit. He's talked to a few other parents that experienced the same thing. Alabama has put a higher emphasis on recruiting out Of state kids to the detriment of in state kids.
He also said Auburn treated them like royalty. She ended up going to neither school though and is happy at Bham Southern.

So if you do not qualify for a scholarship, you do not have a right to a higher education ? Or is UA given it out like candy ? Did you go to school on a full scholarship ? How many families do you know can afford to go in debt $100K per child to go to school.
Unless they changed it in the last 10 years, it's not that hard to get a scholarship to Alabama. Hell, I got a 28 or 29 on the ACT and got half tuition from the University and the college of engineering matched that.

Do 35k instate students deserve to go there when you also have to account for students going to the other instate universities as well?

In-State Students Fall 2015
Alabama - 17,066
Auburn - 16,197
It's funny to hear Auburn people so anti-out of state students. For years Auburn heavily promoted itself as the non-UGA option for Atlanta kids, even going as far as giving kids from Georgia in-state tuition at Auburn.

A majority of the students at UA have come from out-of-state.
It is 51% oos and 49% from in Alabama

But the taxpayers will continue to pay for the buildings and roads on campus, like they have for generations. Only now those buildings are being use to educate kids from NY, TX and other states, while they struggle to send their kids to CC.
What percentage of a student body should be in state?

Why doesn't the state of Alabama have a state LOTTO 
and put the money into education.
