As Thomas Nelson enrollment numbers decline, the school looks for ways to spread funding - Alexa Doiron, WY Daily

As the national economy continues to grow, local community colleges like Thomas Nelson Community College are suffering from lower enrollment rates and decreased funding. According to data from the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia, enrollment at the college has dropped from 11,086 in 2010 to only 7,685 in 2018. John T. Dever, president of the college, addressed the issue during his College Day Remarks in 2018 saying that while the 2018-2019 school year was ahead for summer enrollment, the overall enrollment for the fall semester was down approximately 11 percent compared to the previous year. https://wydaily.com/local-news/2019/05/30/as-thomas-nelson-enrollment-numbers-decline-the-school-looks-for-ways-to-spread-funding/
