My daughter is currently enrolled but now there are rumors of layoffs, tuition hikes and even the president has jumped ship?

Not at all unusual for presidents to move from one college to another, particularly when it is one they had hoped to work with one day in the future.

I do not have a clue relative to the other part of your question.

1) Legislature is in session. That usually means funding cuts. Enrollment is down, which also means funding cuts.

2) She was recruited by a bigger school with a BIGGER salary.

Call MCC if you are concerned.

I'd suggest talking to members of the MCC Board.

There is a meeting being held today which she plans to attend. Thanks for the responses.

The way I see it we were lucky enough that someone of her caliber stuck around as long as she did. I wonder if enrollment results have anything to do with the same problems Dickinson has had. As a young kid why pay to sit in a classroom when you can make loads of money in the Bakken.

BINGO!
