There’s about to be fewer feet sticking to frat floors and hands slapping the bag. US colleges are facing an enrollment cliff after the population of Americans aged 18 peaked last year.
Undergraduate enrollment is projected to decline by 13% in the next 15 years, according to the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education. Meanwhile, many schools are already in a pickle: Families are increasingly bargain hunting for the most generous financial aid as they doubt the value of a higher education. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has restricted international student visas, denting enrollment in the process.

Excellent. Shut ‘em down and use them for outhouses. That’s all they are anyway.
How many how those billions of dollars in endowments?
“ Trump administration has restricted international student visas, denting enrollment in the process.”
I think they buried the lede on this.
This is a huge story from a month ago no one talked about. It was big
600,000 on their way...
>> Excellent. Shut ‘em down and use them for outhouses. &etc
Dang! I was about to post something of that nature but you beat me to it, and I like yours better anyway.
Better to go to trade school and make a real living and not be in debt.
Off topic, but my sources inform me that the SEC poseur SWC refugee Orange & White team actually won today. Could it be? LOL.
Everyone else has to downsize, why not the college industrial complex?
Who cares? It’s all about The Orange and Blue! We are so back, baby!
And international students generally pay full freight for the education (or miseducation).
Absolutely.
Exactly.
They get educated. They’re not in liberal arts courses. Math, engineering, medicine. There’s no mind control there. Their gives were paying. Cash. Like 4x what our kids are footing their own bill for
People don’t know Trump knows that, is outraged by it. And stopped it.
From Google-
“The Department of Defense directed 30 U.S. academic institutions to audit their research and financial ties with foreign entities of concern by August 31, 2026, or risk losing federal research funding.”
Schools are also dumping the trash majors that have so stained the public mind in the last half century.
Going forward, they will need to prove the value of any major that costs so much.
We need more studies about the life cycle of 6 sexes though. /s
” hands slapping the bag .”?
It’s lower education to higher and a lobotomy is far cheaper with similar results.
“Undergraduate enrollment is projected to decline by 13% in the next 15 years”
It SHOULD be at least 50%, if the government would stop funding useless degrees for women.
Sell them and take the endowments and use to pay student tuition debt.
