Dive Brief:
- One in 10 college students in a recent survey aren’t certain they’ll return to school in the fall or have already decided not to attend because of the coronavirus.
- However, a majority of students intend to reenroll, according to the survey from the American Council on Education (ACE) and the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO).
- Administrators fear the virus has caused so much economic turmoil that students will elect not to pursue college, further stressing some institutions’ already precarious budgets.
Dive Insight:
As the coronavirus spread in the U.S., colleges wound down most of their campus-based operations, which included scrapping large-scale recruitment events designed to woo admitted students.
