[quote=Anonymous]I think folks are missing the forest through the trees.  There are 4000 colleges in the US and like 3900 are seeing shrinking enrollment.  There are 1MM fewer college students today vs 10 years ago and nothing is going to reverse that trend…it’s a a combination of demographics and more HS kids deciding college is not worth it.

One area WVU could cut costs is admissions…they already accept nearly everyone, so just eliminate the bloat and make acceptance automatic based on GPA, minimum test scores and your check clearing.

My kid somehow got on the email list of a random PA school with like a 98% acceptance rate.  Received emails in September encouraging ED (ED when your acceptance is 98%?).  After that deadline…we extended the deadline for you.  Ok, how about ED2…we extended the deadline.  OK, RD…we extended the deadline for you.  Now at the end of August…we still have openings for school starting in 5 days.

I mean…I know these schools don’t want to ca themselves community colleges…but why have an admissions department?[/quote]
