State universities have mixed results with enrollment targets - KEITH M. PHANEUF, Connecticut Mirror

New academic initiatives yielded mixed enrollment results for Connecticut’s public colleges and universities, according to preliminary numbers. The University of Connecticut surpassed an enrollment benchmark this fall for its main campus in Storrs. But while a new 10-year initiative to expand math and science programs helped increase enrollment on the Stamford branch campus right away, it didn’t reach the first-year target set by UConn administrators. The Board of Regents for Higher Education also estimates that while enrollment will increase this fall in the state’s merged public college and university system, it likely won’t hit the goal of 1,200-to-1,500 new students set for a new incentive program launched this summer. http://ctmirror.org/state-universities-have-mixed-results-with-enrollment-targets/
