UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI ENROLLMENT DOWN

Enrollment at the University of Missouri is continuing to decline.

Official numbers released by the school recently show the freshman class is at 4,134 which is up from the original estimate by the university of 4,009.

However enrollment is still down by 546 from the fall of last year and down 2,060 from the fall of 2015.

Total enrollment took a hit of 13 percent since 2015.

Declining enrollment is believed to be a result of the November, 2015 race protests on the campus.
