Kentucky State University projects its enrollment will drop by about 20 percent by next spring, partly due to a new state law that forces the institution to disenroll students who owe the university money, a spokesperson says.
“The projected enrollment drop includes a number of factors, of which the financial components of SB [Senate Bill] 185 are significant,” said Michael Strysick, the university’s chief strategic communications officer.
