Virginia public universities challenge is a steady decline in state funding


since the 1980s. I remember protesting state decisions to decrease Virginia's level of support to VPI&SU on the Drill Field some time around 88-91. But the state has limited resources, just as citizens have limited resources.

My extra funds pay tuition to George Mason University, and soon to be James Madison University too.

But I understand Virginia Tech's need to seek gifts from alumni to continue to grow the university while keeping costs affordable. The lack of state funding, rising costs, and pushes by the Federal government to cut funding all are producing an affordability crisis for schools like Tech, UVa and Bill & Mary.
