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.
