UNT's Enrollment Now Up to Nearly 47,000 Students

Shouldn't matter. If they are enrolled for even just one class and pay tuition, they should be counted.

We're counting "students" right? The end shouldn't matter; they are taking class(es) at UL, they should be a student, IMO.

All your questions about fees were asked and answered decades ago. The legislators don’t want athletic costs passed onto the students without their permission.

You’ve been posting long enough to know that. You may be suffering from senior moments, or I’m suffering from a faulty memory.

I remembered that students had to vote for it, but didn't recall why. I still don't understand why legislators would let students in one semester vote on a fee that impacts future students for years to come. Why would a university not be entitled to add an athletic fee to tuition costs rather than students or appeal to the legislators for approval rather than students? I remember discussions on this years ago, but not the details. I guess old age is creeping in.

The total number that will be reported will include all students and with our very large freshmen class and large online and part time students we will be close to 19000. It will be broken out by full time degree seeking, grad students, etc. But it will be close to 19000. Even if some don’t want it to be. We had a big drop during Covid but are coming back very strongly.

UNT even with 47k students struggles to get major attendance numbers. A true commuter school.

Sure, and ours never will in the same manner.

Some even call them The Commuter University of North Texas

. . . we have the commuter school thing going for us . . .

But our athletic budget COULD be higher if our administration would provide the full authorization (3%?). Aren’t we using 2% or less now?

Every school has commuters.

Louisiana has fewer than most.
