College administrators report implementing measures such as tuition discounts designed to boost enrollment and cutting employee benefits to stay afloat.
Why it matters
The decline in higher education institutions impacts the state's tax base and workforce stability. The Northeast region is facing sharp demographic impacts due to plummeting birthrates following the Great Recession starting in 2007.
