Department of Higher Education data

No surprises. Enrollments are up overall, especially at for-profits. But revenues held steady despite the increase in student numbers because more students are receiving financial aid. Everyone’s margins are down, therefore, especially because of the stock market declines. Oh, and retention rates were flat, but because of the way the data is reported, that one's hard to track because it doesn't take account of the increasing numbers of transfer students. All of the above applies pretty much to JBU as well.
