Utah's public college enrollment halting decline - LINDSAY WHITEHURST, Associated Press

Enrollment at Utah's public colleges and universities is generally steady this year and growing among Hispanic students, according to new figures released this week. The numbers were cheered by higher education leaders who have dealt with enrollment dips since the Mormon church announced new, lowered age requirements for its missionaries. "The main thing is that we're not continuing to decrease," said Dave Buhler. He heads up the Utah System of Higher Education, which reported Wednesday that the state's eight colleges and universities added the equivalent of 136 full-time students, a 0.12 percent increase over the same time last year. http://www.wral.com/utah-s-public-college-enrollment-halting-decline/14068854/
