All colleges went through the millennial wave, so there are fewer American college aged students to teach. It wouldn't be that big of a problem, but Trump's immigration policy is killing foreign enrollment, which is going to collapse a major revenue stream for universities.
School admint thought they could keep up the grift despite the demographic change and made zero preparation for it.
Schools don't make money on domestic students, so a drop in domestic enrollment isn't a major issue as long as foreign enrollment and research stays constant.
Which school are we talking about specifically hrrr
All of them in the USA.
Private school charging 40k per annum is not turning profit?
Out of state public school tuition also doesnt make money?
Where is the money going?
Most private universities provide significant aid to students; they actively engage in price discrimination.
Out of state tuition earns more than in-state, but there are additional fees that foreign students pay.
As for the money, it goes into a lot of the facilities and university operations. Universities are big clout chasers, so they will try to spend money to increase prestige.
So with decreasing enrollment they will have to fire admin parasites... The horror 🤣
