Can University of Montana save the liberal arts and boost enrollment without a strategic plan?

In 2013, a group of faculty and staff members sounded the alarm: The University of Montana https://www.umt.edu/ needed a strategic enrollment plan.

"A comprehensive … plan that states our enrollment goals for all student types does not exist, nor has enrollment management been linked to other campus strategic objectives," said the report from the Enrollment Management Working Group.

UM’s enrollment had dropped in 2013, and it did so again last year, and this year.

The strategic plan still does not exist.
