GSU president cites new high standards and tuition rise
Governors State University President Dr. Leo Goodman Malamuth blames stricter admissions tests and a $20 per credit hour tuition increase for declining enrollments. He notes more students fail the writing and computing tests, leading to dismissals, and cites economy and a faulty phone registration system as contributing factors.
