Decline in College Enrollments Nearing the Bottom - Paul Fain, Inside Higher Ed

The decline in overall college enrollment has slowed this spring, according to new data the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center released today. And some details are emerging about the groups of students who are less likely to attend college in declining sectors. Overall enrollment this spring is down 0.8 percent compared to a year ago. That slide follows two years of previous declines the clearinghouse identified. The loss of students peaked last spring with a 2.3 percent decrease. http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2014/05/15/new-data-show-slowing-national-enrollment-decline#sthash.ozB8wpuS.dpbs
