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.
Ryan Lufkin, Senior Director for Instracture Canvas, says the pandemic turbocharged those enrollment losses. As result, higher education has been searching for a way to serve non-traditional students

Well anyways, if I were a parent, I wouldn't send my kid to college, now days.
Locally, the UT-Arington student government is a modern French revolution.
I wish I could post a link but forgot.
$70k per year for a worthless woked education doesn’t sell anymore

Especially when it's done via zoom from you parents basement the past two years.
The bang/buck ratio is rather low, and getting lower.
I screwed up and sent my son to college. At the time I could have bought him a McDonalds.
Because their foolish libtard propaganda disguised as an education sucks that’s why 🤪
How much is a McD franchise?
I believe the problem is that universities are putting out a product that there is no demand for.I believe it's a three-fold issue.
The causes for #1 are two-fold:
- The job market isn't paying the salaries.
- The students aren't pursuing the marketable degrees.
- The universities are cranking out graduates without regard to whether the job market is there for the graduates. In other words, they are graduating buggy whips.
The causes for #2 are two-fold:
- The jobs are being off-shored to lower-cost geographies.
- The cheaper workers are being imported via H-1B visas and are displacing our graduates.
The causes for #3 are two-fold:
- The students are choosing social-justice degrees with no anchoring in reality.
- The K-12 schools are socially promoting students who either aren't ready for college or are better suited to trade studies.
I believe that if there is a market balance between supply and demand then the price paid will equal the cost plus profit. If the universities were balancing the supply of graduates with the demand for graduates, this would mean that the graduates were being paid a salary that allowed them to pay off their loans plus their living expenses.
- The students have been socially indoctrinated to believe the only way to succeed is with a college degree, so everyone must now go to college.
- The change to government-sponsored student loans has made it easy for universities to pad their enrollments in order to get the funding to sustain their tenures and research programs.
The fact is that the university degree market is completely unbalanced and out of whack. Young students may be making good decisions to pursue a degree, but many are too uninformed at that age to understand that the universities are glutting the market right now. The universities have built up a capital investment in professors and manufactured an inventory of graduates that can't be sold.
The university result will eventually be the same as a business selling unwanted products: their inventory of unsold graduates will lose their value (in terms of alumni donations, university brand reputation, etc.), and the university might eventually go out of business if they can't get new student enrollments because the word is out that their graduates are unemployable.
Is all of this the fault of the student loan scam? Is it the result of students making bad career decisions? Is it the fault of businesses that are looking for cheaper workers or exporting jobs? Is it the fault of universities hungry for students flush with loan cash that they keep taking them in regardless of the ability of the job market to absorb the graduates?

Why should someone pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to be indoctrinated with communist garbage and become dumber as a result? They’re not gaining any life or work skills and expect to make a ton of money afterwards while complaining about their student loans and barista jobs.
We are starting to see an inflection point downward for the “Big Education” scam. Another plus for our side.
They are woke and going broke?
Because they are wising up to being harvested for their student loan dollars.
Colleges are such crap. They started raising prices hardcore when I was graduating and it got far worse after. A real good school, but nobody I knew could get a job irl afterwards from it either.
Back then they were around 100K.
My 3rd is off to college this Fall.
The “good but not valedictorian” friends got into UCLA and Berkeley - unheard of in years past with kids having similar race/grades/gender.
Mine is going out of the country. Costs less and no gender bullshit to deal with.
As in all things, Follow The Money.
They need to keep the cash flowing so they can over-pay idiot Wokesters like Lizzie “Fauxahontis” Warren $400,000 a year to teach one class.
