Hundreds of two- and four-year colleges saw major student enrollment declines between 2020 and 2022.
Enrollment in traditional undergraduate programs has been trending downward since around 2012.

If they had any business acumen, which they don’t, they would realize the demand for brainwashed neophyte communist employees with no critical thing skills has all but disappeared.
“get more asians”
No.
What college?
Too expensive. ROI is too low.
The days of them favoring foreign students is over, so is their anti white racism.
Thank you, God.
White men are saying screw it to higher education. Instead they are going into trades or the military. They are at a disadvantage anyway so now reason for them to put up with the BS unless they are going to be a doctor or an engineer.
The name “Chico State” just sounds goofy I know. I was telling my coworker in Maine that my son attends Chico State and he said it just would be so cool somehow to have a sweatshirt that says “Chico State. . .” :)
Well, what can you do. We can’t all go to Harvard. . .:)
Well written comments on the issue.
As a Mgr. (with an MBA) at a major defense contractor, I experienced applicants sent to me by jerks in HR to interview. The worst were MBAs from Stanford and Harvard.
The job openings didn’t require an MBA. Their schools had oversold the salaries they could demand and get with those degrees. Their asking salaries were typically 25-50% higher than our Mgrs’ and Director’s. Plus, they had no experience or skills specified for the open jobs.

Can anyone connect the dots? In this time period, college students were treated like social pariahs at many colleges and universities. Show up, get tested, mask up, get sent to quarantine for 2 weeks; stay in your 1-person room and attend classes on your computer; have virtual academic advisor meetings; get "al fresco" dining options and eat outside, or take back to your dorm room. All of this, and STILL pay full tuition & fees.
I know many parents with college-bound children during this time period, and many of them checked out or stayed home. Why pay full price for a sub-par experience?
I went to Iowa State.

Also had a man with advanced degrees ask me if the surfing in Iowa was good.
Yeah...
A company I worked for had a policy of NOT hiring people from the Ivies and other elite schools. To much hassle for to little work.
