P&I challenge to out-of-state tuition?

[Leslie Goldstein]

I'd say they are not in the same situation because as a matter of common
knowledge, college students frequently do not live in their place of
genuine residence.  Thus, state universities can reasonably require
proof of a genuine attachment ot the state for reasons other than
attending class.  With welfare families they typically do not have
another "real" residence that they are planning ot sneak back to .  They
have genuinely moved.  But it is probably a good discussion question for
class.
