Allowing FAU and all State Universities to charge differential tuition….a 9% increase in tuition is expected that would raise $800k. The bill is supported by all 11 University Presidents.

Everyone knew this was coming. Florida is famously underfunded at the higher education level. Imagine what the universities could accomplish on the national scene if they charged twice what they do now.
Sure, it sucks for students who have to foot the bill. Really, really sucks. But it has to be done.

Exactly, FAU's growth plan basically showed a freeze of in-state students and an increase in out of state simply because of the increased revenue. This should help the school and considering that 5 schools already have it, it will let us compete better. We also have the advantage of being much smaller than say FIU. Leaner, meaner, and going after every research opportunity we can. I'd like FAU to stay relatively small, making small classes one of its biggest selling points over USF, UCF, FIU and even UF/FSU
Selling point to who, though? The prevailing sentiment among high schoolers is the bigger, the better. Movies and TV shows have shown these kids that the big colleges are"real college" and everything else isn't.
I think we'll hit a point anyway where we have to become large since I was reading that in the coming years, there will be 50,000 more high schoolers in Florida than seats in Florida universities for them. They were even considering opening another public university somewhere…
