If size matters, then Iowa State University can claim to be the top state university once again this fall.  I-S-U president Steven Leath gave the Board of Regents an update on enrollment at their meeting in Iowa City.

 

Leath says the administration has to be concerned with how the size of the student body impacts the school’s ability to meet their needs.

Interim University of Northern Iowa president Jim Wohlpart says fall enrollment fell to 11-thousand-905.

 

Enrollment at the University of Iowa is up by more than 11-hundred students to 33-thousand-334. President Bruce Harreld likes that number.

 

Harreld says the graduate and professional programs are also about the right size, although there are some pockets that could be larger, such as the law school.
