UMass growth in spending and non-resident students challenged

BOSTON – Rapid growth in enrollment and capital spending in the University of Massachusetts system may be coming at the expense of its mission to serve in-state students, according to a study released this week by the Pioneer Institute in Boston.
The study calls for tuition increase for out-of-state students. It also suggests that the university explore a cap on enrollment of non-Massachusetts resident students, who pay more than in-state students to attend the university.
