Maybe reaching R1 status has become an important factor in student decisions.

No doubt, but Lafayette media barely covered it so what put Louisiana on the frontal lobes of the general population?

Sans the Covid era, Louisiana enrollment has always shown an increase when the football team wins.

Advertising.

Read the article. There is no Louisiana Lafayette. However , I expect this from a writer in Lake Charles!

Online learning provides great opportunities for those who want a degree, who are also employed. I would think online numbers are counted in total enrollment numbers. I'll be curious to see how hybrid learning evolves in the coming years. Think how many freshman and sophomore level courses could be taught online while also taking some courses in the classroom.

Our enrollment should be exploding with that taking place.

With our fees in place, UL is one of the most expensive public universities in Louisiana if not the most expensive.

That’s the shocking part, no McLeast idiots commenting on the FB link.

Seems to me that anyone enrolled in on-line learning is a student and should be counted in towards enrollment. If that is not the case, why not? That has to be a partial reason why schools like UCF have over 50,000 enrollment.

UCF has 49,000 on campus undergraduate students. And 14,000 online students.

Even more reason people would take on-line courses. Count everyone towards enrollment. I'll bet that would easily put us over 20,000. Shouldn't be hard to find out.

That a graduate program. I'm talking undergrads which is where the volume should be. Take just one 3 hour course and you are enrolled.

On line courses. USL was on the cutting edge of the IT world for decades. While Johnny come lately Georgia State, Liberty, Grand Canyon and Arizona State are mopping up in the on line world.

Is this something that we missed the cutting edge on or politics were and issue.

Sometimes I feel UL is like the old Carlin joke “in the news today, the University of Louisiana had a press conference on the recent discovery of a cure for apathy, but nobody attended”.

I thought (wrongly) with LUS offering Gigabyte download speeds before 99% of the country that Louisiana was going to catapult to the top in online teaching.

Didn't happen.

Befuddling isn’t it. State would have wanted to mimic it I’m sure but LUS would have given UL a step up State couldn’t quickly overcome.
