Greenbayguy87 Posted March 8 Posted March 8 There are going to be some changes in higher education. Smaller population of college-aged students, and fewer making the choice to attend. More focus on skills, credentials, and apprenticeships, even for white-collar professions. Not sure if SCSU takes the hit, but there is a lot of redundancy in SCSU, BSU, Minnesota State, and MSU-Moorhead. Don’t see how they all survive. Quote
