KSTATE went on a huge out of state recruiting binge from 2009-2013.

We should restart pulling kids out of california (where in state tuition is unobtainable for most) and other high cost states.

The two primary KBOR schools are kind of eff'd right now.

One is run by old people.  Pres-75, Bosco 60 something, Provost 60 something, AD 60, BB Coach 60, FB Coach 78.  I mean, good lawd.

KU has kind of lightweight as their new Chancellor, at least so far, and they're paying BGL a half a mil to hang around and consult.

LOL, good night nurse.

Having good universities is not really a priority for most kansans.

I've been waiting for them to announce the new provost for awhile. I guess they'll wait until the semester wraps up. My money is on Floros. I don't think they'll let him get away.

Good to see K-State so beholden to corporate farming that they don't have any programs on organic farming.

Apparently organic farming just happens from magic seeds that don't have to be bought.   No tractors, farm implements, fuel or anything else needed either.    It apparently harvests itself.

I know some kids who are paying 25% more in yearly tuition then I did in 2009 when I started college. A 25% increase in less than 10 years is outrageous.

been a long time happening

When I started in 94, you could take as many hours as you wanted for $750/semester.     Today it's $309/hr.

I also like the one KSU guy who basically said Western KS should just die.

It is not all that surprising that the two main KS universities have older people running the show, it's pretty common across higher ed. Although, this comment has me concerned a bit about our dear old AD:

“That's one of the beautiful things about K-State is our fans are extremely supportive of our program,” Taylor said. “Pound-for-pound in terms of our number of alumni and the areas in which we pull from of our fan base, I would say our fans give — I've never done a study — but I would say our fans support us a great deal ... and equally as well as anybody in the country.”

Hey Gene, you're the AD, maybe spend some time doing that study that you've never done? Concerning to me is not age, but the regurgitation of talking points that aren't evidence based from university leadership.

Been awhile since I've lived in KS, but I think many more families are price conscious now. Given the lack of state support for higher ed in KS, KU and KSU look a lot more unreasonable to the average Kansan, especially when you consider the community college options. How is enrollment at community college's in the state?

All of this is to say, KSU was probably in for a decline. I'd view this more as a trend in higher ed in general, than something KSU specific. Even some "prestigious" schools are struggling with enrollment right now. FWIW, I work in a state higher ed system that is well supported, relative to most states in the country, where full time (12 or more credit hours) in-state tuition per semester is $3,335. We can keep this so low as a result of support from the statehouse. I'd lay the blame, in the KS case, with the statehouse more than internal KSU factors.
