As current trends across the country indicate widespread declining student enrollment and attendance, EdChoice is interested in how states respond. It enlisted Hanover Research to summarize publicly available information for each of the 50 U.S. states about the role enrollment plays in state funding formulas, as well as any state-level policies…

Dual enrollment, especially at community colleges, has experienced rapid growth in the recent past, which contrasts with declining enrollment of many other student groups. However, there is a dearth of national evidence to demonstrate if institutions are converting dual enrollment students into regular enrollments after high school graduation. We…

The problem was the enrollment decline in private Christian schools in the United States, particularly in the National Christian School Association (NCSA). The identified gap in the literature was the absence of various perspectives and experiences of stakeholder groups (e.g., parents, teachers, and administrators) on the problem of enrollment…

California's K-12 enrollment is projected to decline for the next two decades, driven by falling birth rates, reduced immigration, and out-of-state migration.

The recruitment and retention of residence life staff has become increasingly difficult for many colleges and universities throughout the U.S. Back in 2008, a report supported by the ACUHO-I Commissioned Research Program, "Recruitment and Retention of Entry-Level Staff in Housing and Residence Life," indicated that the problem was…

We analyse Germany's re-introductions of tuition fees and enrolment of international students. Fees could not be levied before the German Federal Constitutional Court sanctioned them in 2005 and only seven out of the sixteen states took action, thus making a quasi-experimental research design available. Our fixed effects and synthetic control…

In spring 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic forced schools to switch quickly to online learning. Before then, Hawai?i had been expanding its dual credit program, in which high school students could take courses that would yield both high school and college credits.

Literature indicates that while attending a predominantly White institution (PWI), Black men often experience stigmatization and feelings of alienation. Despite concerns of racial tension experienced by Black men at PWIs there is limited research exploring the campus climate perceptions of Black men in college. While Black students may have some…

Before the 2020-2021 school year, policymakers and parents confronted the uncertain trade-offs implied by the health, educational, and economic consequences of offering instruction remotely, in person, or through a hybrid of the two.

Before the 2020-21 school year, educators, policymakers, and parents confronted the stark and uncertain trade-offs implied by the health, educational, and economic consequences of offering instruction remotely, in person, or through a hybrid of the two. Most public schools in the U.S. chose remote-only instruction and enrollment fell dramatically…

The business/management problem addressed in this study is that as a result of the lacking organizational approach to service, the community college student experience in pre-learning service are inconsistent, contributing to the decade-long enrollment decline, resulting in fiscal challenges. The purpose of this qualitative systematic review is…
