4. The University of Montana has seen a 40% enrollment drop since 2010, and now is struck with the effects of the pandemic. What, if anything, should be done to help the university?

The Legislature should make a firm financial commitment to the institution. State funding will be critically important to make up for shortfalls in tuition revenues, while the university rebuilds. The Legislature should stand behind UM and its efforts to provide high-quality and affordable education for Montanans. The university’s upgrades in student support services and marketing and recruiting efforts has the U back on the right path, but COVID-19 has thrown a wrench in plans at an inopportune time. The Legislature should stand behind UM and support our institution’s efforts to provide a high-quality and affordable education for all Montanans.

1. Sad to say it...

It’s kind of a mess. I have a friend who is an adjunct professor...she says morale among staff is as low as it’s been. I don’t know how they’re going to turn it around. Cross state rival Montana State isn’t having these issues. I really wanted my kiddo to go to UM...he’s a sophomore in high school now. If they don’t right the ship, we may be looking at other schools.

2. My grandson is going there. Freshman. Most of his classes are online. It's a little disorganized

but so far he loves it.
