Grand Rapids Community College students take less classes, learn fewer knowledge: VP for Finance and Administration copes with declining revenue

Story at mlive.com here:

Lisa Freiburger, vice president for finance and administration, didn’t have an estimate on the number of vacant positions the college will delay filling or leave unfilled altogether. ... Freiburger said an improving economy is likely one of the factors causing enrollment to decline. In addition to a declining headcount, students are also taking fewer courses. “We are seeing students take less classes, and I assume those students are perhaps working more than they might have been,” she said. “Clearly, we’re down farther than we anticipated, but we are managing that drop and related loss in revenue.”

Maybe GRCC could save money by firing people who speak English goodier.
