UM watching future enrollment closely

University of Montana http://www.umt.edu/ administrators aren’t sure whether enrolments will rebound next year after this fall’s slump. But they are watching the projections closely, after being forced to chop millions of dollars from this year’s budget.

UM had already expected student numbers to drop this year, but were surprised when enrollment fell by more than 700 students. Administrators see a variety of factors behind that drop, ranging from a loss of federal student aid packages to the bad publicity from last spring’s sexual assault issues on campus.
