This is getting a little inane.

Cliff Notes:

*WSU has announced enrollment up ~600 in fall 2017.

*In fall 2017, WSU has ~600 enrolled in 0.5 hour badge courses. These are not courses for traditional college students, nor are they used by traditional college students towards a degree path.

*Total credit hours for fall 2017 are more or less flat y/y.

*WSU is making in-roads with the I-35 corridor in recruiting, but the numbers are so small at present time as to be statistically irrelevant.

*Many people are excited with the direction that Bardo is attempting to take the University. This is not an attack on Bardo.

Bardo mentioned the Badge courses, but I don't remember the nos involved. I don't think it is a big no though. Have you watched the 42-min video yet?

Yes. Good presentation.

After all is said and done I would rather have WSU on the plus side of the ledger rather than the minus side like k state or even flat aka the flagship and no I'm not counting the Med School.
