That's really quite shocking to be honest. Back when I was an undergrad/grad student in the 1990s/early 2000s I know that it was consistently 14,000 and I believe that it did actually cross 15,000 a time or two. That is quite a drop there.

It is a shocking drop. Back in 1980 when I was an undergrad it was 12,500 and it was capped at 12,500. At that time most of the other PSAC schools were in the 4-6000 range. The U.S. population was 226 million and next year's census will be about 330 million.
Driscoll does not seem too concerned about it, at least publicly. He's focused on the new science facility, which they call STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics). That could be a game changer for IUP because nobody will have anything like it. Driscoll also says next year IUP will move up to a class 2 Carnegie research institution.
There is a lot going on at IUP but they need to find a way to stem (no pun intended) the enrollment decline.

Its surely a factor but its also immeasurable. The measurable factors are that the cost of attendance has gotten too close to schools with more cache and that western PA has a significantly lower number of 17 years olds. IUP has also lost the SEPA market to West Chester, Bloomsburg, and Millersville.Last edited by IUPNation; 10-04-2019, 11:14 AM.

I saw a video from Yinzerburgh TV that was on YouTube with Driscoll and another admin stating they have planned for the decline in enrollment.
But hey go to Slimey and get a diploma one can buy in any paper products aislle and enjoy being programmed for four years that you are morally superior than the rest of the world....

The other thing is that the emphasis is on the system. If you listen to Driscoll he knows his role within the entire PASSHE system. That's his job. He's just based in Indiana. They don't have that much autonomy. Hey, I say 'screw the other schools' - Make IUP Great Again - but that went out the window a long time ago.
