Super disappointing.

I checked Baylor's long term debt and the current debt amount is about $847 million. The debt seems to continue to grow.

Baylor's long-term options look more and more like a sewer

University of Vermont expects a 15% decline in their freshman class. Most schools are ignoring reality. Baylor?

Fertility peaked in 2007.

2026 is 18 years later, when this "baby bust" starts heading to college.

Only the beginning, and ALL schools should prepare. https://t.co/cLyR4nZ8pH pic.twitter.com/iCmPLrlcyl

Stop me if you have heard this one before:

“University of Oregon President John Karl Scholz announced Thursday a $65 million budget cut … UO receives approximately 80% of its budget from tuition revenue and relies heavily on out-of-state student enrollment.” pic.twitter.com/ZUMSC26brp

Good news, boys. It's buyers' market.

This is also the result of pushing to get to R1 status. You end up with more Profs that don't teach and focus on research. So now you have to hire a teaching prof and you end up with two people where you had one before.

But the admin thing mentioned earlier is very true as well. Lots of people at the university level where their is one where no one seems to know what they do.

This right here is spot on. I cannot emphasize enough the impact it has.

The BOR let The Preacher run amok.....

Not wise.

Most of us here said so at the time.

That is shocking.

Zero debt in 1990 to $1B in a quarter century.

We told our kids unless they got massive scholarships to not even think about Baylor. Even with a 50% scholarship it's hard to justify $45,000 a year for school that is not head and shoulders above a lot of the other ones. It's a shame because my wife and I really enjoyed going to Baylor in the 90s.

If they had gone to Baylor they would've been third generation Bears.

We've got one at UNT and one at TT.

Thankfully my two oldest earned enough scholarships that they both qualified to pay about $12K per year at Baylor. One just finished her junior year at Baylor. The other just finished her freshman year at UMHB. I will say that I'm very impressed with UMHB. It's very similar to the Baylor we knew in the early 90s.
She's paying less than $10K a year at UMHB.
My son is interested in A&M and the other is thinking about Baylor or Tech. They probably won't get as much scholarship money from Baylor since 2 of my daughter's scholarships are only for girls.

Baylor undergrad is already majority female (has been for a while)

But we still have scholarships that are only available to female students?
