Unfortunately, the article is behind a paywall.

We are dealing with a shrinking pool of prospective college students, coupled with a national campaign against higher education. Throw in a vast disparity in resources (MSU and UofM have more than the other 13 publics combined) and you find our current situation.

Here's the actual LSJ link to try. They used to give you 2-3 free articles a month.

This was good to read, hope it's true

"Besides the two largest schools in Michigan, most other colleges lost students. The school with the steepest decline was Central Michigan University, which has seen enrollment drop by nearly 12,000 students since 2014.

Hurley said that for schools in a situation like CMU, strategic planning around enrollment is crucial.

"(Central Michigan) I know is working around the clock on enrollment, and how they can take a strategic approach to get students interested in their school," he said. "I know they have a great social media campaign.

"Schools like Ferris, Western, Central, they can all turn around." Hurley said."
