It's not surprising because this is how ULL operates, but this is at least the 2nd year in a row that ULL has embellished their enrollment figures in their press release. ULL reported a misleading 19,033 figure in their press release, but ULL's true enrollment is 17,508.
Sounds to me like they're reporting total number of students enrolled, not full-time student equivalent.Originally Posted by Dawg06
Nope. These are not FTE figures. These are official headcount numbers. FTE figures would be much lower for everybody.
You and I agree on almost everything, but the "take it over" option is a bad one (IMO) because every mismanagement mistake will be blamed on Tech. I say "Shut'er down, period" . And I told Dr. G the same thing. Close the doors, and let students migrate where they want to migrate.
I'm waiting for one of these cowardly legislators to stand up in front of the legislature and tell them that LaTech is an example of what other schools should be doing. They won't though. LaTech will continue to suffer because of the horrible schools included in the UL system. Grambling leads the pack horrible of institutions with the race card being accessible at any time.
They reported it correctly.
"Overall enrollment for the Fall 2015 semester is 19,033. Enrollment in degree-seeking programs is 17,508, which is 2 percent higher than Fall 2014 numbers."
I wonder what our enrollment is including non-degree seeking students.
ULL is the only school in the state that reported an enrollment that was larger than their official enrollment per reporting standards. I'd call that deception and embellishment. That's ULL's M.O.
