Norfolk, Va. – On July 8th, Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallon signed a bill into law that grants in-state status to all college students in the state that are members of a Reserve Officers Training Corp, or ROTC, program.
The law will save thousands of out-of-state Oklahoma students over $10,000 per year in tuition and fees because of their new in-state status.
Virginia has a strong tradition of ROTC programs including Virginia Tech’s Corp of Cadets and Virginia Military Institute.
Should Virginia follow Oklahoma’s lead and grant in-state status to all ROTC cadets, or is this a bad use of taxpayer dollars?
