Crowding no worse than Fall ’89
With the confusion the new
course changes caused, the
crowded classes and the formi
dable task of adding a class.
University students might get
the impression it's a little
crowded around here.
In reality, though, it's about
the same as last year, said |im
Buch, University admissions
director.
The University is projecting a
fall term enrollment of 17,900,
which is an increase of only 82
students over Fall 1989
Enrollment became a large is
sue in 1988, when the Univer
sity catered to about 18,500 stu
dents. The record level forced
officials to adopt a two-year
plan to reduce enrollment lev
els to 18,000 in Fall 1989 and
to 17,600 by this fall.
Enrollment last fall, howev
er, was 200 fewer than
planned. In response, the Uni
versity had upped this year's
cap to 17.800 to recoup lost tui
tion revenue
That projection was again in
creased because the University
needed to offset the cost of
some tuition waivers for ath
letes to assist an already finan
cially strapped athletic depart
ment.
Buch said campus may ap
pear to be crowded because the
memory fresh in the minds of
returning students is that of
spring term for 1989-90, where
enrollment was 2,000 less than
fall levels that year.
Official figures won't be
known until the fourth week of
classes, when actual enroll
ment is tallied. However, Buch
said the fall term total should
be very close to projected fig
ures.
As of the third day of regis
tration. 16.195 students had
registered compared to 16,196
for the same time in Fall 1989,
Buch said.
The number of freshman en
tering the University will stay
at 1989 levels at alx>ut 3.500,
but transfer students will in
crease slightly. Buch said.
By the time the enrollment
cap was bumped up earlier this
summer, freshman had already
been admitted, so transfer stu
dents was the only category ad
missions officials had control
over. Huch said.
