The student body at the University of Wyoming continues to shrink. Early estimates suggest that UW’s enrollment will fall for the fourth year in a row.
A couple years ago, the board eliminated 75% of non-resident tuition waivers. The thinking was, “Why do we need non-residents?” You need them in the best course would be to reverse that decision, and bring in more non-residents with an attractive tuition rate. You can still serve the residence of the state without turning anyone away, but boost enrollment with non-residents from Colorado and other places.
Give non-residents a tuition break and they will come. You have a great institution. With only 2400 high school graduates going to college in Wyoming each year, you need out-of-state students.
