The best thing parents can do is withhold their college money from institutions that purport to provide higher learning, but in fact teach nothing but political activism.
The University of Missouri, which was besieged with protests in 2015, is cutting up to 400 jobs, closing seven dorms, and raising tuition up to six percent to offset the continuing budget shortfalls due to declining enrollment.
After protests on campuses led to a decrease in expected enrollment at the university for the fall 2016 term, the University of Missouri grappledwith ways to handle the budget shortfall for the 2016-2017 year. The school ultimately decided to close residence halls and cut jobs when faced with declining enrollment.
According to the Columbia Daily Tribune, overall enrollment at the university for the previous year declined 6.1 percent. Current projections show enrollment is expected to 7.4 percent for the term starting in the fall, while first-time freshman enrollment is expected to drop by almost 18 percent.
Within the past two years, freshman enrollment at the University of Missouri has reportedly dropped 35 percent. The expected enrollment numbers will put the school’s enrollment at the lowest in nine years.
