Music is quite possibly the most expensive major of any. The faculty union contract isn't friendly to how these programs are traditionally structured. Clarion and Edinboro cut their programs within the last decade, Edinboro did after the state spent about $10M on a new building.

Well, I'd say it is crushing the bar/restaurant industry. You'd also be in a five-alarm panic if you were a slumlord in town. I've mentioned before many of the 'college houses' have been sold off to the flippers and are being sold as single family homes. There are very few students living outside of the immediate campus circumference.
But, yes, with that big of a dip the effect trickles far and wide. Even the coffee shops, pizza places, etc., ... heck of a lot less students to buy overpriced coffee.
One rumor going around is the infamous Carriage House / The Apartment Store is closing at the end of the Spring semester. That has certainly been one of the more notorious places on (near) campus for the past 30 years.
The sad irony is it took decades to get the campus to where it is today. It's big. Closed in (no more streets breaking it up). State of the art buildings and luxury dorms (compared to what we had). And, there's nobody here.

I hope it can come back. There are some enrollment positives in that article once you get past the overall numbers.
IUP BigIndians, what you are describing must be devastating for the local economy.

Even if they get to 8000...that's a 1000+ student drop. That's huge. This is a shame and I do hope it improves quickly.

The spring is always alot less than fall, but the Gazette article is using some very positive spin by comparing to registrations at this time.
The thing is, typically there are alot more students enrolled between now and the start of the semester - usually 10% or so. Last spring enrollment ended up with 9162 total students. The question is will that happen this year. Rumors are that there are significant percentages of failing and not participating students, so the increase between now and january will not be very good. that rumor is the problem is system wide but perhaps is just complaining about students lack of interest, . We'll see what happens, the hope is that IUP will get over 8000, but no one is holding their breath.
