Charting UL Enrollment since 1901

How can you grow at such a rate while ensuring standards stay high/keep increasing. I see the test scores, seems this higher amount of high achieving scholars may not exist

Offer instate tuition for the Dallas and Houston area codes. Problem solved.

Great idea or at least houston. Im sure you would have to draw some sort of circle on the map not just list zip codes

Seems we have always rounded up:

The University of Southwestern Louisiana (USL), now known as the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, had an official enrollment of 17,562 students in the Fall 1995 semester. This figure is a known detail from that year, with 14,360 undergraduates and 3,202 graduate students.
Enrollment Breakdown:
Total Enrollment: 17,562
Undergraduate Students: 14,360
Graduate Students: 3,202

We’re already doing it for high achievers. Hitting Houston and Dallas area. We have people in these areas representing us. Hope that doesn’t get cut.
Pray for the college of engineering. Our accreditation bureau comes this weekend. Stays three days. Should know Tuesday how well each dept has done. Hoping none have a revisit in less than six years. Lots of work over the six years but last 18 months get really busy.

….See where LSU is buying property near med school and Tulane for housing both in Nola...We need to get land from the fire station to Blackham Col and have the whole area from Cajun Dome Blvd to the Gil’s furthest dorm on front of Campus!

Growth stagnated in the 90s. Then down hill since the turn of the century. All coinciding with legislature funding cuts.

Our be population has stagnated. Number of HS students has decreased. As stated the public doesn’t want to fund higher education at a consistent level so legislature has hit HE and health services as the two main non-dedicated $$ to cut. Jindal hammered HE and health during his 8 years.
