Undergraduate enrollment falls a quarter as officials finalize ‘second phase’ of cuts = Zach Schonfeld, GW Hatchet

 Officials said undergraduate enrollment fell nearly 25 percent this year based on preliminary estimates, requiring a “second phase” of budget cuts in the coming weeks. University President Thomas LeBlanc said at a Faculty Senate meeting Friday about 9,100 undergraduate students are enrolled this fall, which fell short of officials’ target by roughly 1,000 students. The loss in tuition revenue from decreased enrollment is largely driving GW’s budget shortfall, which is now estimated to be $180 million on an annualized basis, LeBlanc said.
