Rich Kremer reports Tech Schools See Big Enrollment Declines (‘Pandemic reduces enrollment nationally 10%, report says. State schools see similar trend’):
The National Student Clearinghouse Research Center reports that at public, two-year community and technical colleges, enrollment fell this spring by 9.5 percent compared to spring of 2020. Undergraduate enrollment at public four-year universities dropped by 3.3 percent, and at non-profit, private universities, enrollment fell by 2 percent. The report is based on preliminary data from 43 percent of colleges and universities in the U.S.

The national trend tracks with what administrators at some Wisconsin technical colleges are seeing. Laura Bray, Milwaukee Area Technical College vice president for college advancement, told WPR’s “The Morning Show” that they’re seeing fewer students as the pandemic continues.
“In terms of enrollment and where we’re at, we have already projected to a decline of 9,100, what we call FTE or full time equivalent students,” said Bray. “And we do expect to fall short of that for this year.”
In an email sent to WPR, MATC spokesperson Ginny Gnadt said the projected 9,100 students this year works out to a 9-percent drop in enrollment compared to the 2019-2020 school year.
Western Technical College President Roger Stanford told WPR he estimates enrollment is down by around 15 percent compared to last spring. Stanford says fewer students have been able to stay in school during the pandemic.
Molly Beck and Eric Litke report Why Milwaukee ranks near the top of U.S. cities receiving federal stimulus dollars:
Cities received allocations based on a formula that incorporates how population growth compares to other cities of similar size, poverty rates and the amount of overcrowded housing. Funding for counties was determined largely by population and unemployment rates were a factor in how much state governments received.
About a quarter of Milwaukee’s population is considered to be living in poverty and about 35% of working-age residents are not in the labor force, according to 2019 U.S. Census data.
In Wisconsin, Milwaukee receives the most — at $406 million. Milwaukee County will receive $183 million, Dane County $106 million, Waukesha County $78 million, Brown County $51 million, Madison $49 million and $47 million for Racine.
Amy Brittain and Josh Dawsey report New York’s vaccine czar called county officials to gauge their loyalty to Cuomo amid sexual harassment investigation:
New York’s “vaccine czar” — a longtime adviser to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo — phoned county officials in the past two weeks in attempts to gauge their loyalty to the embattled governor amid an ongoing sexual harassment investigation, according to multiple officials.
One Democratic county executive was so unsettled by the outreach from Larry Schwartz, head of the state’s vaccine rollout, that the executive on Friday filed notice of an impending ethics complaint with the public integrity unit of the state attorney general’s office, the official told The Washington Post. The executive feared the county’s vaccine supply could suffer if Schwartz was not pleased with the executive’s response to his questions about support of the governor.
