Student-Exporting State
According to the Virginia
Plan for Higher Education, a
report compiled in 1967 for
the Virginia State Council for
Higher Education, Virginia is a
student-exporting state. From
the most recent study made in
1963, about 26,000 Virginia
students attended schools in
other states while only about
16,000 students from other
states attended Virginia
schools.
"It's because they can't get
in Virginia schools," Mr. Stone
said.
"They can't get in the
University of Virginia because
you all only take the top 20
percent (from high school)."
"Our boys in Virginia are
just as well-qualified and have
just as much brains as
somebody from New Jersey or
Pennsylvania or Ohio or
whatever you want to take.
"We don't owe those people
anything."
"I can name around my
home town 25 students that
are going to East Carolina or
East Tennessee State because
they can't get in up there (at
the University)."
