Enrollment Task Force Charge

Enrollment -
|
| In examining this fall's enrollment data there are positive achievements in to be
celebrated - the highest headcount in university history (12,575) and the best prepared
new students we have ever admitted (21.3 ACT, 3.18 GPA), but there are also areas
of concern. In Big Rapids there is a significant decline in new freshman students
and out-of-state students. The result of these two factors is that while headcount
is higher, student credit hours have declined from last year. For an institution
heavily dependent upon tuition, there are serious long-term financial implications
for our University if these trends continue. To deal with this challenge, the Blue
Ribbon Task Force has a charge to provide recommendations that will first boost enrollment
for spring semester, and then recommendations on initiatives to reverse these negative
trends for next fall -
