They put no tax money into the State...then they LEAVE. What money has the tax payer seen for his 1/3 investment? None.
first of all, do you have stats on how many actually leave, what about in-state students that leave? Second, my wife and I owned a house and worked 12 years in Louisiana before we moved. Hell, I may buy a small house in BR before it's said and done.
I certainly have empathy for the budget woes and understand doing away with this program...but the implication that somehow OOS kids of alums are stealing from Louisiana is a bit over the top.

If I could have any stat, I would like to know what other State subsidized schools have these alumni waivers.

Stealing? Not at all. You can't steal something that's given to you. I think that its not in the University's best position to offer freely OOS Legacy tuition waivers.
I have three friends that graduated with me that had OOS Legacy Tuition waivers. Two from Georgia, one from Tennessee. None live in LA. All moved away. Their parents havent lived in LA since the 70s. No, I don't think they should have received a waiver when that [lost] money could have gone to rewarding scholastic achievement.
