It seems the other campuses in the system, are not seeing the same drop…

Officials at other campuses in the four-campus system said they are not seeing the same dip in enrollment.

“We project our enrollment to increase by 1 percent to 2 percent over last fall’s totals,” said Andy Careaga, spokesman at Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla.

The University of Missouri-Kansas City appears to be on “solid financial footing this year,” said John Martellaro, a UMKC spokesman. “Our enrollment outlook for fall semester 2016 is stable — we’re projecting flat enrollment.”

He said that overall UMKC applications for admission so far for this fall “are up 6.1 percent compared to this time last year. First-time college applications — excluding graduate school and transfer applications — are up 18.2 percent compared to this time last year.”
