Eric Weldy, vice president of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management, said the enrollment decrease is because of the 12-month budget impasse, which resulted from state lawmakers disagreeing on a budget for Fiscal Year 2016. State budget appropriations could not be dispersed, including funding for higher education, until the budget was passed June 30.
“I think it will make things a lot easier as far as school is concerned. It definitely helps if we had that extra week off at the beginning of each semester to get focused and all settled in. As far as practice times too, I feel that telling us our practice schedules in advance would be a great help so we can plan our schedule accordingly. It will be easier now for us to get tutors or do what we need to do.”
