This is bad, borderline really bad.
That's $4 million in lost tuition revenue, which is serious money especially after last year's drop.

Does ndsu have plans to cut staff or wages?

Was the tour guide DB? Maybe he's coaching them ...Had an interesting conversation with a parent who's college bound student went for a tour of Ndsu. Unfortunately, the young (student) Ndsu tour guide wanted to talk about the football program 24-7. (Now for you & I, this would be finebut for this prospective student... she wanted to hear about academics and college life. Then it got a bit worse, when the young Ndsu tour guide wanted to show her the pigs... (this prospective student was not interested!) Needless to say, the prospective student did not choose Ndsu.
Sounds to me as tho the "tour guides" need to be educated to focus on the interests of the prospective students, rather than their own interests.

So if i am reading this correct - https://www.grandforksherald.com/opi...0-student-ndsu
We are not really close to our goal that was laid out about 5 years ago of having 18000 students by 2020. How do we get back on track? Should there be a little more heat on Bresciani for not delivering as he is the president of university?

Re: 2018 Enrollment Numbers
It's even worse when you factor in the 'penalty' that Bismarck will impose on NDSU for losing this tuition $$. I know, brilliant, brilliant stuff …
I can identify three potential reasons for the drop. The first is demographics, and ND higher ed is very poorly positioned to deal with this. I’m sorry to have to say that. While in-state demographics look good, the system was installed anticipating a much, much higher state population than reality. The second could be political in nature. NDSU has enjoyed a healthy number of MN students in the past, but it’s possible that such students (MN is a blue state) are put off by the current political climate. That’s all I’m going to say on that given the rules of this board, no matter how any trolls from either side respond.
The third and most easily addressable is leadership, and I’ve made my opinions on this clear. If people want to discuss this in more detail we should probably take it to the smack thread.
