[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imagine a conversation among a top 50 private university’s trustees. A newer trustee with a background in manufacturing finds out that the institution’s multi-billion $ campus is used at 15% of its potential. He suggests they figure out how to increase income by increasing the number of students served without building even one more building. A long-time trustee says “No, that will just erode our image as being exclusive and prestigious. The easy money is made by keeping our school exclusive so people will put their entire lives on hold to spend $350k for a degree in anthropology.”[/quote] -This is spot on. University administrators are generally lazy and They dont get paid more if they admit more students. Most T50 schools could easily increase their STEM enrollment by 15-20%. Dorms etc are lame excuses eg UVa could easily rent 2-3 apt buildings on JPA and add more capacity. [/quote]
