I don't know how it is in Michigan, but here we have 13 four year universities in a state with only

6 million people. Two of them have enrollments under 4000. We have three universities in a row, spaced 25-30 miles apart, and one of those schools has an enrollment of 5,000. What are we doing here? Consolidation should've been done 15 years ago. We have one university with an enrollment of 8500 that just spent $100 million on a new library. A library. Nationally, only 27-48% of college students actually enter the library. My strong hunch is that it's much closer to the 27 than the 48. They keep building buildings as education moves more and more towards online instruction. Again, what are we doing here? This is such typical public sector garbage: achingly slow to react changes that were obvious years ago and indifferent and sometimes hostile to the taxpayers who subsidize this mess.

  • The college “Enrollment Cliff” is here, and the downward spiral looks grave. [NT] [LINK] - BaronVonZemo - 3:10am 6/25/26 (1) [View All]
