“While I understand the tuition mitigation dollars are intended to benefit South Carolina students, a growing share of the overall university enrollment is coming from out of state,” @SamAaronSC added. “That raises a fair question about why South Carolina taxpayers should continue to finance the rapid expansion of facilities that increasingly serve students from outside the state.” “South Carolinians are subsidizing this activity, even though a sizable percentage of people in this state did not attend college and will never attend college,” Aaron said. “I think the university needs to practice living within its means rather than returning to the Legislature every year requesting increased funding.”

“If the state is going to keep providing seemingly endless resources, it would be foolish for the university to say ‘no,’” said South Carolina Policy Council Research Director @SamAaronSC. “Ultimately, I think the responsibility falls on lawmakers for allowing university spending and state support to grow at such a high rate.”
