The President of Evergreen State College announced this week that the college is predicting a 20 percent drop in enrollment for the upcoming fall semester. Evergreen president George Bridges announced this week that the college is facing a 20 percent drop in enrollment for the upcoming fall semester. The school currently boasts a student body of 3,800, but with the graduation of the current class of seniors this spring and the introduction of a smaller freshman class this fall, the total student body will drop to 3,100 students. The college was also hit with a five percent drop in enrollment at the start of the 2017-2018 academic year.
The drop in enrollment is attributed to the chaos that took place last spring when former Evergreen biology professor Bret Weinstein was forced off campus for disagreeing with an activism event that asked white community members to leave campus for a “day of absence.” In protest of Weinstein’s stance, students roamed the campus with baseball bats, aiming to intimidate anyone who dared to disagree with Evergreen’s progressive orthodoxy.
Former Evergreen provost Michael Zimmerman addressed the current enrollment issues at the college in a conversation with The College Fix.
“The enrollment crisis at Evergreen, and make no mistake about it, it is a crisis, will not be fixed until the actions of last spring are acknowledged and their underlying causes addressed,” Zimmerman said. “To pretend that students fleeing Evergreen is simply a function of the economy or because of bad press generated by the far right is both misleading and counter-productive.”

He still thinks you're the problem because you/we reported it.
Another Communist propaganda camp circling the drain — this is good news.
Another college stuck on stupid.
That drop is a penalty for failure to perform. It should stand as the consumers have spoken.
Let them improve the school's academic standing and consumers will be fighting to enroll.
Everbrown U?
They should change the name to “NeverWhite”, that might make the university feel better about themselves. Then they’ll implode because the majority of students going there will probably expect a “free” education on the backs of whitey, and lo and behold, the endowment shrinks and well, the self-destruction picks up velocity. Bye bye and good riddance.
How long do liberals think colleges will survive without white students? Oops, racist.
In the expensive Northwest, the school will feel the downturn in revenue keenly. Perhaps the SJW’s will generously cover the shortfall.
If the Whites leave for good, who’s gonna pay for it?
There are more and more efforts to segregate society.
The taxpayers of the State of Washington.
If you have one quarter of the students in each class, that would be 950 of the 3800 graduating and 2850 staying. So only 250 freshmen enrolled. If you assume it takes 5 years it would be 760 graduates and 60 new freshman.
That doesn't consider non-graduates leaving, but anyway you cut it if this continues for four years this college might be down to 1000 (or 240) students.
Hopefully all of their virtue signalling is worth it.
Which of course are White. Just sayin.
Majority white, but also disproportionally Asian.
“...and fixing up the curriculum to serve the needs of the students who are coming at us.”
More Womyns, Afro and Gender-Whatever classes.
And, Bob’s your uncle.
'A national organization that promotes First Amendment rights on campus has labeled The Evergreen State College as one of the 10 worst in the country for free speech.'
So you co*ks****** want my money, but then throw me out. Listen to me, you haters! Whitey is not the problem. non-Whitey is miserable because of 50 years of liberal policy, not because of Whitey. You and other liberals have told non-Whitey to blame his failures on Whitey, and they, being stupid, have believed it.
I hope you go bankrupt.
The anti-white racism displayed by leftists is sickening.
Grambling did very well for years. Tuskeegee, Tugaloo, Howard, Morehouse, all very good until they lost most of their best students.
Actually, he doesn’t.
