    Regarding the census, it’s a moving target so I wouldn’t read much into the number being the same as last year. Had they taken census one day later, it would have been different. More concerning is a flat-line trend while EVERYONE in the area is growing. I believe this has to do with some teaching faculty at NDSU ..

    Out of curiosity, I queried a range of people about the trend, and the one clear answer I get is that the 'academic bar' there – in a handful of critical STEM service courses – is being held ridiculously high by the professors. These are STEM courses where averages on midterms are 30% or something absurd like that, or 16% is a C (lol). These professors (a minority, mind you) are making it all about themselves and not the students, and Gen Z just isn’t going to tolerate that bullshit because it does nothing for them, it just feeds the professors ego. The problem is the Dean’s won’t do anything about it, at least not yet ...

    Isn't the official census for fall enrollment done on the same day every year?

    Yeah, so what. Do the students make their decisions to stay or go on the same day every year? Probably saved the state money, fortuitously, because nobody had to re-tweak the funding model

    The more pertinent question – Is the state still funding your thousands and thousands (~5000) of on-line only students at the same rate as the ones that live in GF, let alone ND?

    It isn't just a randomly picked day, it ties out to the funding and aid that you are referring to.
    Do you have the actual data to show were all students reside and take their courses? Would love to see it.
    Isn't NDSU's enrollment (allegedly) flat at best only because they started figuring out how to let people learn how they want?
    I'm sure you are referring to the state funding model that NDSU helped develop correct?
    Are going to be equally upset now that NDSU and UND are allowed to offer dual credit courses to high school students that they previously weren't allowed to either?
