Which is exactly why it is struggling to stay afloat. These are desperate times for SLACs. “generous merit” could mean no merit in two years’ time if the school closes. My LAC is playing the same games to fill a class

Xavier enrolled 1,200 freshman just a couple of years ago. It's been declining every year. This fall they expected more than 800 freshman to enroll, instead they got 680.
They are planning to open a DO school, don't know if that will help long term but they have to try something. I saw somewhere that tuition is $52,000 a year while Univ of Cincinnati is something like $14,000 a year.

That Musk guy says most of the jobs will be gone in 10-20 years due to AI and robotics and that humans will be veggie farmers. What do you want to major in now and where do you want to study?

A lot of these less prestigious private schools are going to suffer the same fate.
