. . . because enrollment is down, or, at least, enrollment of Illinois freshmen is down by 1,000 students, with a corresponding increase to international student enrollment, according to an article in today\u2019s Tribune<\/a> reporting on a U. of I. board of trustees committee meeting.<\/p>\n

Additional financial aid funding could come from increasing student enrollment in programs that charge more for tuition, such as the College of Engineering, or from increasing the number of higher-paying international students, said Christophe Pierre, the university\u2019s vice president for academic affairs. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And the university is pretty sure it\u2019s losing students because they\u2019re getting good deals at other schools. <\/p>\n

Now, the university is already heavily recruiting from full-pay foreign students to pay the bills, to an extent that, a month ago, I questioned<\/a> whether this would impact the quality of American students\u2019 education.\u00a0 And increasing the cost of engineering programs?\u00a0 This seems risky, and a bit \u201ckilling the goose that laid the golden egg\u201d-ish, considering that the university\u2019s reputation rests pretty heavily on the engineering department.<\/p>\n
