NDSU by >200. Just like the winter commencement.

Pretty sure those numbers are actually closer than they have been in the past.

I wonder why nobody is in an uproar about the obvious inefficiencies at every institution except the one in Fargo.

I'm sure this will be heavily debated in certain Minot Dairy Queens and asshat sanctuaries in Tioga.

But it's all about outcomes.

Wait, what?

They're going to widen again in the next few years. There are significant size discrepancies in the full-time undergrad class sizes.

BTW, I should say where I'm getting all these numbers. The NDUS enrollment report that Sic used to start this latest kerfuffle is compiled from numerous other reports that are submitted by each institution. Those reports are public and much more detailed. Detailed to the point of containing reams of useless information. But if you slog through them, you can find some gems. NDSU gives each report its own pdf, while UND compiles all reports for a semester into a single pdf. All the stats I've been using come from the fall 2014 reports(since those are the reports used in the most recent NDUS report).

Actually, those numbers are wrong. The UND number doesn't include the med and law graduates. It should actually be 2156 for NDSU and 2050 for UND, for a difference of 106.

Good to see the ROI for med and law schools reflected in the results.

Well, heck, I didn't mean to misrepresent that... it was just what the news stories reported.

However, I wouldn't count the med school since they are supposed to be separate... except when it is convenient.
