Fall enrollment in UMaine System down overall, but out-of-state numbers up - NOEL K. GALLAGHER, Press-Herald

Fall enrollment figures at the University of Maine System – critical data for the state’s financially struggling public higher education system – show a mixed performance, with a lower overall head count but significant increases at some campuses in out-of-state students, who pay much higher tuition. Five of the seven campuses, including the two largest – the University of Maine in Orono and the University of Southern Maine – all show increases in out-of-state students. The highest are a 15 percent increase at the University of Maine at Augusta and 14 percent at the University of Maine at Fort Kent. Other increases are 7 percent at Orono, 3 percent at Farmington and 2 percent at USM. http://www.pressherald.com/2015/09/13/fall-enrollment-at-umaine-system-down-overall-but-out-of-state-up/
