KU administrators say fall enrollment changes little
By BRUCE SCHREINER Staff Reporter
Although definite figures will not be available until the 20th day of classes, several RU administrators predict this fall's enrollment will be comparable to last fall's 22,105 total at the Lawrence campus.
Preliminary numbers will be available later this week, said Gil Dyck, dean of admissions and records. Some confusion arose last week when the director of University Relations, Robin Eversole, announced that enrollment figures would only be released after the 20th day of classes. Administrators had already broken tradition when they decided not to release first-day enrollment figures. Eversole said the policy change was aimed at avoiding confusion that sometimes arose from early enrollment announcements.
"We HAVEN't had a chance to look at any firm data," Dyck said, "but we assume we admitted about the same number of new students in his past couple of years, and retention is also the same by the applicants we received."
Dyck said about 5,000 applications were received from incoming freshmen, transfer students and new law and graduate students.
"It's far too early to come up with anything definite, but right now I would say enrolment will be constant to one year ago." Dyck said.
Dyck and other administrators said they thought enrolment figures would not drop despite a somewhat aloof attitude, both on campas and in the community.
Last year's fall enrollment, expected to reach an all-time high, disappointed administrators when the University was first drop in enrollment since 1977.
Several academic dews were also cautious in assessing enrollment trends for their particular schools because no definitive figures are available.
The dean of the School of Education, Dale Scannell, forecast slight drops in the junior and senior classes compared to last fall. But the freshman class could compensate for the reduction in the upperclass ranks, he said.
"Our beginning freshman course quickly filled up," Scannell said. "We added another section Thursday and it was a big list of about 20 still wanting to get in."
ANOTHER SCHOOL with a larger freshman class than last year is the
school of Engineering. But except for recognizing the increase in freshmen, Dean David Kraft said it was too early to accurately pinpoint enrollment.
'I just don't know about the totals yet,'
'we weren't expecting the growth in freshman numbers. Last year we anticipated that we'll break but now I don't know,' Kraft said.
Kraft said he expected continued growth in the number of engineering graduate students. The number of graduate students has grown from about 250 to 350 in a short time could exceed that with the introduction of a new master's program this year.
Attempt to monitor enrollment in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the School of Business would be futile, according to the two deans.
"I simply don't know what it will be.
Until the figures are tabulated on
ONE BRANCH of the college that could grow this year is the Regents Center in Kansas City, Kan. Lineberry said more people might attempt to secure position on the school's prospects of advancement by returning to the classroom.
20th day your guess is a. good amine," said Robert Lineberry, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and"Sciences.
"It could bring more people to college or it might tend to lower numbers, because people won't be able to afford school," Tollison said.
John Tollefson, dean of the School of Business, also refused to speculate on enrollment. Tollefson said current unemployment figures could have both a positive and negative influence on enrollment trends.
