Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“reclassify as a resident every student who, after attending the University for a year, makes a self-serving declaration that he intends to reside in [Michigan] permanently and performs a series of “objective” acts, some of which are required by law and all of which are customarily done by some non-resident students who do not intend to remain in [Michigan] after graduation. This would, in effect, create a presumption that any such student is a bona fide [Michigan] resident, thus seriously jeopardizing the University’s nonresident tuition program and consequently its entire financial structure. It would remove the tuition decision from the hands of the University and place it in the student’s.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passage“the preparation of detailed findings of fact in every case would entail considerable administrative expense and delay.”
