University of Hawaii Enrollment Down

Enrollment across the University of Hawaii's 10-campus system was down by 2.2 percent this fall to a total of 59,288 students.  The only campuses to see a slight increase were the UH-West Oahu campus, and the Windward, Leeward and Kauai community colleges.  The decrease is being attributed in part to a stronger economy in Hawaii.  Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs, Linda Johnsrud, stated, "Enrollment in higher education typically runs counter to economic growth.  Students often leave college when the economy provides more jobs. This is particularly true of the community college students."
