Nationally, colleges and universities have seen a decline in enrollment, often called an enrollment cliff. The recent drop has been attributed to low birth rates around the time of the Great Recession, the cost of higher education vs. scholarships/financial help received, COVID-19, and more.
Christian Brothers University (CBU) recently appointed Chris Englert as interim president. He says he was brought on to "calm nerves" and wants to "map out where [CBU is] going to go." Englert says he has been meeting with CBU faculty, staff, community leaders, and alumni for several weeks.
Knowing enrollment is a significant issue, Englert joins Emily Greer, the chair of the CBU Board of Trustees, on this week's Channel 10 Behind the Headlines to discuss the future of CBU with host Eric Barnes.
