re: Missouri enrollment takes another major drop

I partly hope for a halt in our growth to allow the campus infrastructure to catch up. We have a few buildings that should be taken out and replaced altogether, but because of the growth of the past decade, we haven't been able to consider it. As long as there is $ to be made, they won't cap enrollment, I guess. I never thought I'd see Fayetteville with 30,000 students, but it seems inevitable now.

I read the statement by the university through that lens and think it'll eventually level out and start growing again at Mizzou. The interim few years will let them streamline facilities and strengthen planning. Hopefully they'll really check their policies and educate their faculty on how to be less crazy.
