Image: After a bruising year of pandemic-related enrollment declines, higher education leaders across the country are anxiously waiting for this fall’s national enrollment picture to emerge. Many of the signs suggest at least modest improvement over all, but with wide variation among sectors and institutions.

Blog: Confessions of a Community College Dean. If you haven’t seen Tim Burke’s recent piece about assembling a class schedule for an entire college, it’s worth the read. At the risk of being accused of one-upsmanship, though, he’s playing the game on the ‘easy’ setting. Swarthmore has a pretty consistent enrollment – selective admissions among a surfeit of applicants can do that – and it’s small.
