The direct funding provided is a multiple of the tuition collected. The in-state/out-of-state rate differiential makes foreign students very attractive since state funding is based on tuition dollars collected rather than students enrolled. Both types of students are subsidized though. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archive.freecapitalists.org:443/forums/thread/21276.aspxFri, 07 Mar 2008 01:30:32 GMT944abf2b-d1be-4bf2-990d-438cb0e377e9:21276JCFolsom0https://archive.freecapitalists.org:443/forums/thread/21276.aspxhttps://archive.freecapitalists.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=27&PostID=21276<p>Yes, it is subsidized by taxes.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archive.freecapitalists.org:443/forums/thread/21259.aspxThu, 06 Mar 2008 23:49:16 GMT944abf2b-d1be-4bf2-990d-438cb0e377e9:21259Sentinel0https://archive.freecapitalists.org:443/forums/thread/21259.aspxhttps://archive.freecapitalists.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=27&PostID=21259<p>Please forgive me if my question sounds a little dumb, as I am a recent convert to Libertarianism and Austrianism. How does the in-state tuition rate for colleges work? Is it tax-payer subsidized, or what?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
