College Undergraduate Enrollment Fell By More Than One Million Students Since 2019

Silver lining. Getting our kids out of those toxic leftwing indoctrination cesspools is an important step to getting our country, our freedom and our sanity back.

Think of all the the minds that have been saved from their poison.

The hardest hit universities are in deep blue New York and California which makes this news even brighter.

California’s fall 2021 undergraduate enrollment dropped by nearly a quarter-million students since pre-pandemic fall 2019, according to a survey released Thursday.

The report from the National Student Clearinghouse shows that California saw an overall decline of more than 99,000 — or 4.3% — in undergraduate enrollment from fall 2020 to fall 2021, driven largely by a 9.9% drop in community colleges.

College Undergraduate Enrollment Has Decreased By More Than One Million Students Since 2019

By: Michael T. Nietzel, Forbes:

Undergraduate enrollment decreased by 465,300 students, or 3.1%, in fall, 2021 compared to fall, 2020. That decline has brought the total enrollment slide to 1,025,600 undergraduates since fall, 2019, a period of time roughly corresponding to the Covid-19 pandemic in the U.S.

The figures come from a new report released today by the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center (NSCRC). Overall, national enrollment – counting both undergraduate and graduate students – decreased by 2.7% or 476,100 students in fall 2021, for a total two-year decline of 5.1% or 937,500 students since the approximate onset of the pandemic.

The enrollment losses occurred in almost all parts of the country and among all categories of students. In fact, total fall enrollment increased in only four states: Arizona (1.6%), Colorado (1.1%), New Hampshire (9.3%), and South Carolina (1.1%).

“Our final look at fall 2021 enrollment shows undergraduates continuing to sit out in droves as colleges navigate yet another year of COVID-19,” said Doug Shapiro, NSCRC Executive Director. “Without a dramatic re-engagement in their education, the potential loss to these students’ earnings and futures is significant, which will greatly impact the nation as a whole in years to come.”

Higher Education Sectors

Undergraduate enrollment declined across all of higher education’s major sectors.

  • Private, for-profit four-year colleges sustained the biggest percentage drop (-11.1% or 65,500 students).
  • Public four-year institutions lost the largest number of students (251,400), which was equal to a 3.8% decline compared to the previous year.
  • The decrease was smallest at private, nonprofit four-year institutions, which saw a loss of 58,700 students (2.2%) last fall.
  • Community colleges suffered a loss of 161,800 students (-3.4%) for fall, 2021 compared to fall, 2020. Public two-year colleges remain the hardest hit sector since the start of the pandemic, with a loss of 706,100 students (-13.2%) since 2019. ……..
