I'd rather see 10,000 dedicated hardworking students. Than a 11,000....Well you know. We are building back up with Quality instead of just a numbers rush like we've seen in years past.
It does us no good to build a house of sticks. We need compontent, committed students. That will do us a greater service than a bunch of riff raff.

We will most likely hit 11K next fall. If the kids are like my daughter who is in grad school at A&T and nephew who is junior in HS (MN) and a true stud DE (bright, smart, with great character) we'll see 12,000 top notch minority students in about two and a half years.

How many we graduate is FAR more important than how many we let in the door. The number of people we admit has been inversely proportional to the percentage we graduate for a number of years.
In my opinion we should go back to 8,000 or less, learn to graduate 70%, and then worry about increases.

I recently read an article that state funding (currently based on enrollment) is going to modified to be based on graduation.

Hmmm this is rather interesting...Hmmm so NC A&T enrollment increases, while WSSU decreased it's freshman class from 1,300 in 2008 to 800 in 2009 intentionally ...Hmmm I wonder where the WSSU REJECTS and cut offs ended up.......SMILE!

Interesting indeed... NC A&T remains the LARGEST HBCU IN NORTH CAROLINA, maintains its DIVISION I status in athletics, AND has a new chancellor that is making decisions that are conducive to the will of the students and alumni...Hmmm I wonder what happens to schools that wont have neither of the three come next august....Sorry giddyup you walked into that one...SMILE! LOL....Treese with the alley-oop, & Aggie Blues with the SLAM!Take that, Take that...

Quality is better than Quantity! Biggest is not always the best! There is still a high enthusiasm to come to Winston-Salem State, and sorry but our attraction is not jjust"a good homecoming". Which is the case for your institution!! In saying all that you said, it doesn't change the fact that your enrollment as well as NCCU's obviously increased because of WSSU reducing the size of it's freshman class, plus the WSSU REJECTS! Thank YOU! :-)
Though I disagree with the move, going back will solve the budget crisis which was all a result of the Div 1 move, and would have had an effect on our record enrollment rates. Trust when WSSU gets the housing the enrollment will continue to increase, going from 2,000 to 7,000 in pretty much 4 years is pretty damn good, clearly there is a period of high optimism at WSSU and I don't think it was all a result of just the Div 1 move!
