NIU Plans Restructuring Amid Enrollment Drop and Budget Pressures
NIU, DeKalb, begins review of its six colleges as it faces tighter finances and the end of two decades of rapid growth. Since 1951 enrollment rose from 1,893 to a peak above 22,800, with NIU gaining university status in 1957. President Nelson foresees a tightened era and a push to sharpen goals and reorganize academics. The university maintains programs across business, education, arts, sciences, continuing education, and graduate studies.
