East Tennessee State University President Brian Noland delivered his annual State of the University address Friday to discuss enrollment, budgets and campus operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Noland said enrollment declined 474 students since the fall of 2019, with 446 of those students being undergraduates. “You saw many undergraduate students taking that gap year that we feared,” he said. “But our numbers at ETSU are pretty much right in line with what you’re seeing across the state in the university sector.”
