St. Mary’s College short about 150 freshmen, plans for budget cuts - Jenna Johnson, Washington Post

St. Mary’s College of Maryland has only locked in about two-thirds of the students it needs for a full freshman class next school year, a shortfall that could cost the public liberal arts school $3.5 million in lost tuition. Though the school’s admissions department is trying to fill about 150 vacant spots, the president warned faculty and staff to prepare for budget cuts. “All of the numbers on this campus are small numbers, so this has a large impact,” said President Joseph R. Urgo, who since becoming president in 2010 has revamped the school’s admissions department. http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/st-marys-college-short-about-150-freshmen-plans-for-budget-cuts/2013/05/13/4b0fa1c8-bbff-11e2-89c9-3be8095fe767_story.html
