The University of Missouri-Columbia is expecting at least a 14-percent decline in incoming freshmen this fall, resulting in its smallest class in nearly two decades. Administrators project that about 4,000 freshmen will enroll in August. That’s down by about 700 students from 2016 and significantly lower than in 2015, when more than 6,000 enrolled.
Last week, curators of the University of Missouri four-campus system were alerted to a $9 million expected decline in tuition revenue at Mizzou. At the time, enrollment estimates were not available.

The financial strain is on top of state budget reductions from Jefferson City.

They might have to fire the Social Justice Professor. Then Feminist Studies will have to go.

Let's be honest, they'll probably let a couple of folks from the business school go.

Their recruiting department blows.

My daughter was seriously considering Mizzou as an option. Her mom and dad and grandma and grandpa all graduated from Mizzou and grandpa still teaches there. They made little to no effort to recruit her seriously. She's now in an accelerated med school program.

There's systemic issues on the campus. They'll get it figured out or they won't.

They should recruit more gay athletes to fill the hole in their enrollment.

It's turned out some really good docs. They're in a pickle now due to some administrative issues and their accreditation is probationary. Their alums are furious.

@chesire - thanks. We're pretty proud of her.

Of the colleges she considered, Mizzou's recruiting was by far the most tone-deaf and anemic. Heavy on bulk mail.

I laughed out loud at her on campus visit when a PowerPoint slide touted the "safe spaces" on campus. The presenter did not refer to the point on the slide, oddly enough.

Can't say that they don't deserve the sliding enrollment.
