2014 Enrollment

[SlickRick]

?..and the other notable fact is we only spend 2% of our budget on athletics instead of the alllowale 3%. Can someone confirm this? If correct, we need to either assess a fee or go to 3%. We are already have the lowest tuition in the state.

[ulXrunner]

Do the fee! If you charge, I guarantee there will be a huge decrease in student attendance. Our home schedule is never good enough to attract students without free access to games. Add the fee as the gate cost. Make them think it's free.

[CajunRebel]

Here in Plano, nothing is free. HS games are FULL price for students......even middle school students have to pay $3 to attend their 7th and 8th grade games.

Beyond ridiculous that students get in free & pay no major athletic fees. One of these needs to happen ASAP.

Students don't get in free at UL. They pay a mandatory ticket fee every semester.

Does Martin Hall keep it, or does it go straight to athletics?

[billbeck451]

Have the other schools in the state released this years numbers. It would be interesting to see their enrollment numbers also

[CajunJack55]

Does Martin Hall keep it, or does it go straight to athletics?

The following breakdown of fee charges is updated for Spring 2013 fee schedule as of 12.02.12:..I couldn't find anything more recent but I do not see any fees regarding getting into athletic events for free except for the "Auxiliary Operations Fee" and if that is it then I would assume Martin Hall and I would love see the breakdown of how much of that $100 goes towards athletics. Seem we are missing another opportunity to increase our budget.

We saw an increase of 3%. Here is the rest of the state so far:

LSU: 30,451 Up 2%

Louisiana Tech: 11,271 Up 2.3%

ULM: 8,527 Down 1.5%

Northwestern State: 9,002 Up 1%

I couldn't find any info on McNeese, Southeastern, Nicholls, or Tulane.

[Bandwagon King]

A record-setting number of students enrolled at the University this semester. Total enrollment numbers for Fall 2014, at 18,796 students, are the highest in school history. And that’s despite tougher admission standards that were implemented two years ago. http://www.louisiana.edu/news-events...roll-fall-2014

Hey Mel Rock. You mind if I turn this post on you? How about the enrollment went up BECAUSE the school increased admissions standards. I see the academic fees didn't hurt anything either. In fact, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it appeared to me as though there were several thousand students in the stands when UL played Tech. The truth is the higher you set the bar within reason, & the more you push excellence & accountablity, the more young people's reactions are to want to jump on your bandwagon. Think mediocre be mediocre. Think great be great.

Southeastern's enrollment is like 15,000 +/-

[CrazyCajun]

Put a value on something and people want it.

[CajunJack55]

Southeastern's enrollment is like 15,000 +/-

Yes this is about where they have been the past several years but I haven't seen there fall 2014 numbers yet. I don't believe they announced the numbers yet.

[CajunJack55]

The number of out-of-state students rose significantly. This semester’s 1,442 students are 20 percent more than the 1,198 who enrolled last semester.

This is one of the most encouraging aspects of the article. Out of state tuition is a great way for our university to grow. This is how the Alabama's and Auburns where able to grow in the 1990s and 2000s. We need recruiters and advertisements out thhere.

[CajunDreDog]

I always thought or was told that it was one of the "Union" fees. That UPC was basically buying your tickets for you with that money.

Or something like that.....
