New Mexico ranks worst for college enrollment decline, but UNM, NMSU buck the trend - Tommy Lopez, Albuquerque News

 According to data from the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center, New Mexico colleges saw a 9.5% decrease in the number of returning students for the Fall 2020, which was more than any other state.   More than two-thirds of all the classes at the University of New Mexico are not meeting in person this semester—just like in the fall. Those numbers look similar to other college in the U.S. However, as many people decide to put their higher education on hold until the pandemic eases up, officials with the University of New Mexico said enrollment is looking much better compared to other schools.
