Is anyone in the Legislature watching market pricing for higher education and examining how this will affect future UAA and UAF enrollment (and revenues)?  As a father with 4 kids who will enter the higher education somewhere within the next 7 years, cutting out the performance scholarship, adding on a 10-15% tuition hike and taking into account higher costs for room/board and everything else in Alaska....  UAA and UAF don't look very competitive.  I know we have a fiscal gap, but fortunately unlike most states, we do have many options to address it (and oil prices will not stay where they are in the longer term).  The cuts the Legislature is contemplating look to me like cutting a quarter now to lose a $1 in the future, through declining enrollment.  Like it or not, running a university is a business, and a business can't cut it's way to prosperity.
