Question

My question is about the financial practices of American Universities. Public Universities in the United States nearly all charge different tuition prices on the basis of state residency. Taking a college in my home state for example, according to the University of Georgia's website, the tuition for a resident of Georgia is $9,472 and the tuition for a non-resident of Georgia is $27,682. Since the costs of educating a Georgian do not exceed the costs of educating an American from any other state, is this am example of Price Discrimination and therefore considered "illegal" under the Robinson-Patman Act?



Answer

No.
