D. OTHER ITEMS FOR ACTION, continued September 26, 1975
Provost Cantlon explained that from 1969 through 1973 the University had maintained
a steady enrollment rate of approximately 41,000 and in 1974 this rate,
without any change in admissions, increased to 43,459. This increase is due to
the returning rate of students who would, under normal economic conditions, be
dropping out to take jobs. It is felt that this rising enrollment cannot be
allowed to continue because the Legislature does not appropriate additional
money for the additional students, the quality of education is diluted, and
the physical facilities and support system of the University cannot withstand
the added strain. It was recommended, therefore, that the Trustees direct the
Administration to regulate for an enrollment objective as opposed to an admissions
objective. It is anticipated that the enrollment on the 10th day of
classes fall term 1975 will be 44,522 students.
The first of two proposals presented by Provost Cantlon was that the Admissions
Office be given permission to reduce the input of new students during winter
term and spring term 1976 by from 250 to 300 students.
JMotion was made by Trustee Carrigan, seconded by Trustee Stevens to approve this
