In a landscape transformed by the COVID-19 pandemic, a silent crisis looms over the future of higher education. The statistics are not just numbers; they serve as a stark warning that should not be ignored. According to the National Student Clearinghouse and various analytical studies, undergraduate college enrollment has plummeted significantly over the past few years, with an eye-watering loss of over 900,000 students between fall 2019 and fall 2023. But this decline is not simply a fleeting trend; it is indicative of broader challenges that have been brewing for more than a decade.
From 2010 to 2021, the numbers paint a disheartening picture: approximately 2.6 million students have vanished from college campuses across the country. These figures highlight a disconcerting reality that every stakeholder in the education sector needs to face: we could be on the brink of a prolonged enrollment crisis that could reshape the very foundation of higher education as we know it.

College is a scam. Its an indoctrination/enslavement camp.
