Freshman numbers at record high

A story about freshmen enrollment at public universities includes a comment by WSU Provost Nancy Barrett. The story indicates that freshman enrollment in the state is up overall this year, to 40,536, according to the Presidents Council, State Universities of Michigan . But freshmen enrollment at some universities, including Wayne State , is down. Barrett said the drop, from 3,120 to 2,879, was somewhat anticipated because WSU had large freshmen increases in 2003 and 2004. "We've been growing by leaps and bounds, and I think this is a correction," she said.
