University enrollment continues
to escalate despite stricter
freshman entrance requirements,
which have tightened in the past
two years to prevent such in
creases from busting the state’s
budget.
Fall enrollment reached 27,215
Wednesday, and University Regis
trar Bruce Shutt expects total fig
ures to top 28,000 by Sept. 21,
exceeding 1989’s fall total, 27,448,
by 600.
University President Charles
Knapp said enrollment could easily
reacn 30,000 in the near future,
but the state budget could not ac
commodate such an increase.
“We are going to have to control
enrollment to an even greater de
gree in the future. The University
has not been able to keep pace in
terms of capital facilities’* he said.
“We have some serious catching
up to do there before we allow en
rollment to grow further,” he said
in a press release.

Two years ago, freshmen were
admitted to the University if they
had “predicted" grade point aver
ages of at least 2.0, said Dwight
Douglas, vice president for Student
Affairs.
A student’s “predicted” GPA is
estimated by averaging high school
grades with SAT scores, he ex
plained.
The predicted freshman GPA
was raised to 2.2 in 1988, but was
lowered to 2.1 in 1989 because offi
cials expected a 13 percent de
crease in enrollment due to the low
number of high school graduates,
Douglas said.
“Both years have produced more
stringent entrance requirements
than ever before at the Univer
sity,” he said.
Tougher freshman entrance re
quirements in 1989 resulted in a
freshman class of 3,106, compared
to the 3,350 who were expected to
enroll, Douglas said.
However, the number of
freshmen entering the University
this year will be closer to the 3,350
officials anticipated.
“In a time of severe budget con
straints, we have tried to keep en
rollment relatively constant in
recent years, but a number of fac
tors have continued the upward
pressure,” Douglas said.
Transfer applications, which are
up by more than 300 from a year
ago, are pouring in this year due to
the two years of tighter freshman
entrance requirements, he said.

missions committee will consider

further increases in admissions
standards for transfer students
and freshmen to control enroll
ment.
Douglas added, “Without addi
tional general classroom instruc
tional facilities, we can’t have an
increase in daytime students.
There are just too many people
moving around out there.”
Michael Hendrick, assistant to
the head of the English depart
ment, said that although high en
rollment figures are contributing
to crowded classes and drop-add
closings, budget cuts are primarily
responsible for department seat
limitations.
“We are offering more seats for
freshman English this year, but in
winter we will have used up all of
our monetary resources and will
have less seats available,” he said.
