I read a post on another Herd Board and it stated that dorms are full and there is a waiting list for space for Freshmen. All Freshmen are required to live in dorms. This is great news for Marshall which indicates that Freshmen enrollment is recovering from Covid. The revenue increase will help Marshall to reduce the deficit.

With growth comes expansion. Hopefully we see MU grow over the next 20 years.
All growth, at least in talking about enrollment, isn't good growth.
If you are squeezing your profit margin too much, it's not good. If you are watering down your product (say, for instance, lowering basic qualifications to be accepted into school by not even requiring an application to be completed for local students with just a 2.5 GPA), it's not good.

Enrollment numbers are good, but retention is what you want.
It's far cheaper to keep the students than get new ones.

I just found out a nephew who's attending UVA is majoring in Dutch Poetry. No lie. I laughed when I heard that. Is that money well spent?
When WVU was having financial problems months ago, one of their cost cutting measures was to eliminate the puppetry major.
No lie? I think it's a lie. WIthout looking, I can't imagine that any U.S. college, especially one like UVA, has a "Dutch Poetry" major.
I swear. I asked twice. I just looked on the UVA site and it is offered via their English Dept. and Creative Writing. Seems its a pre-cursor for a study abroad program.
An area of emphasis isn't the same thing as a major. They do NOThave a major in Dutch poetry
That's what they told me,you would think the parents would know. But looking at the web site it doesn't appear to be a "MAJOR". Still, I question the young mans choice in this area. To each his own.

Yes. I doubt it too. Are the Dutch even known for their poetry? Perhaps he meant Dutch ovenry?
Probably should have asked a third time.
Shit, it's not even a minor offered. Without looking it up and just going by your word (I know, that isn't wise), it would possibly be a course to allow one to study abroad for a semester in a specific country.
As I said yesterday, this board needs a full time fact checker. No lie.
Dutch poetry:
This boy played a dangerous game
I’m sure you remember his name
Saw a leak in the wall
Plugged that dike with his paw
Then the Dutch bestowed him great fame
Girls I date don't flatulate let alone defecate. They were born without that biological necessity. And since I like girls being attracted to me and blowing me, they also don't hear me flatulate.
Are you the Supreme Leader of North Korea?
Please keep your political talk off of this board. I am sure we've been over this before, yet you keep trying to infringe on the rule. Please have some respect for the moderators, especially Coach Stowers.
I think that one was set up when Gee first arrived in the Hole. He wanted some WVU students trained as puppet string pullers to help him manipulate the feckless and spineless legislative and governmental leaders in Charleston. Now that he is on his way out the door, the Committee trying to reduce massive deficits accumulated during his tenure decided that puppetry is a luxury the "Flagcrap" School could no longer afford!!!

Proposed program cuts include majors in education, civil engineering, art history and puppetry.
