JSU Speaks Out |

November 6, 2003 -- Alabama could lose more than $900 million a year if it quits offering
out-of-state students from counties near its borders in-state tuition rates for
colleges and universities, according to a Jacksonville State University study
released Tuesday. But that is not stopping talk of killing the
out-of-state tuition program in Montgomery, where the study was unveiled as
education officials discussed possible key changes to the state’s two-year and
four-year institutions. About 32,000 out-of-state and foreign students are enrolled in Alabama’s two- and four-year institutions, contributing some $910 million to the state’s economy, according to the study’s author William Fielding, Dean of the College of Commerce and Business Administration at Jacksonville State University. That translates into an estimated 13,622 jobs and $86.4 million in sales and income taxes.
