OSU President Ray cites enrollment, money pressures in talk to Faculty Senate
With limited financial resources and inadequate state funding, Oregon State University must manage its enrollment and prioritize its spending, OSU President Ed Ray said Thursday. Ray spoke at Thursday's Faculty Senate meeting, fielding questions and sharing what he feels are two major issues facing the university. When Ray arrived at OSU in 2003, the state wanted to see the university's enrollment at 24,000. That ideal number has since been reduced to 21,000. OSU has about 19,400 students, perhaps more than it can support without the quality of education suffering, he said. |

Shaun Hachquet's signature. |
