Despite the fact that this year Eastern made needed gains in transfer and minority enrollments, the total enrollment fell 106 from last years total enrollment. Furthermore, the number of students attending courses on campus, as opposed to other locations offer- ing Eastern courses, has decreased by 181 students from 9,834 last fall to 9,653 this fall. The state likely will not continue stuffing Eastern full of money, especially when it is one of the only Illinois campuses continually losing students. Jeff Cooley, vice president of business affairs, told The Daily Eastern News that last year’s enrollment drop was directly responsible for the $2.9 million budget shortfall, which resulted in budget restraints. Among other cuts, he said the restraints resulted in departments not being able to hire needed staff. Last month, Eastern interim President Lou Hencken made a promise to increase overall enrollment by 250 students over this fall’s numbers. It is vital that promise gets filled. On an up note, the university now has more minority enrollment than ever before and transfer student numbers are up as well. Both are signs of good things ahead for Eastern. Eastern has continued down a path of declining enrollment for far to long now. This situation hurts morale, image and funding, all three of which Eastern has been striving to increase. For the sake of Eastern’s future, effective measures need to be taken to increase enrollment. ■ The editorial is the opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.
