Subject: Summer enrollments


Kent State experienced a decline in undergraduate enrollment during this
past summer after seeing enrollment increases for several of the
previous summers.  We are currently trying to determine the reasons for
the decline.

One theory that has been expressed is that more students worked over the
summer to pay for the fall tuition increases or to take advantage of an
improving economy.  If that is the case, we would expect other
institutions to also have experienced a decline in summer enrollments.

To get a rough idea of what has happened in the state, could you please
let me know if your summer enrollments were up or down?  I do not need
any details just an indication if it was up or down.  After we get some
responses, I will let everyone know what the consensus was.

Thank you for your help.
