did say it is a significant
amount, enough to kiH’p certain
programs intai t that otherwise
c ould have been cut
University Director of Admis
sions Jim Much said it was a
University dec ision to focus on
recruiting more non-residents
However, he said the state Hoard
of Higher Education advised
both the University and South
ern Oregon State to recruit out
of state because the two have the
lies! potential to attract non-Ore
gon students, particularly Cali
fornians.
With California's higher edu
cation system struggling finan
cially. more and more
Californians are choosing Ore
gon as their alternative. In-state
tuition for the University of (Cal
ifornia at Los Angeles is
$3,54H.50 for the 1993-94 school
year. When living expenses are
added on, the cost is often only
a couple of thousand dollars less
than the University, Buch said.
The classes are smaller, the
fat ulty-to-student ratio is better,
and students can usually get the
classes they need to graduate
within four years, he said.
Huch said there were four fac
tors he used to sell the Universi
ty to non-state students:
location, size, cost and quality.
Most students agree that Eugene
is o nice place to live, he said,
and that a school of 16,000 stu
dents doesn't scare people the
way a school with 30,000 might.
Huch also said the cost com
pared to Colorado or California
schools is not outrageous, and
that a lot of students are attract
ed to the quality of the Universi
ty. with programs such as the
International College and Hon
ors College drawing interest.
Buch said the University has
not turned away more Oregoni
ans because of the out-of-state
focus. He said every Oregonian
who met the minimum admis
sions standards was let in. And
contrary to many people's con
cerns. Buch said the University
did not raise its minimum stan
dards in order to turn away
more in-state students, which
Southern Oregon State was
accused of doing last year when
it raised its minimum grade
point average required for
admission.
By prioritizing non-resident
recruiting, Ihrig said, the state
system hopes schools can sus
tain their current level of educa
tion.
For example. Ihrig said, if
some of the money taken away
by the Legislature was not
recouped, and the University
couldn't afford to keep its high
quality professors within the
next few years, it would be
extremely costly and difficult to
rebire those faculty members if
and when the state system
recovered.
OSSHE hopes to hold on to
what it can by using the extra
money from the non-resident
tuition, Ihrig said. If the sales tax
or another recovery package
were passed, he said, the state
will recommend that all schools
again fully prioritize resident
students.
"Our goal is to make an edu
cation available to as many Ore
gonians as we can," he said.
