Ari BetofGUEST

But with 63% of schools who responded to the SODI expecting to be below capacity and just over half of schools looking to increase enrollment, Ari, how should they factor that into enrollment and net tuition revenue planning?

Ari BetofGUEST
When we did the last state of the enrollment industry report, Laurel is on the Data Advisory Board, and she raised this point that schools have this habit of revising their enrollment targets and revising their net tuition revenue targets.

Ari BetofGUEST
And so if you ask a school, which we have done and we did in a recent flash survey with you all you know are you on track to hit your enrollment and intuition revenue targets and those targets are possibly moving it it creates it creates a little bit of of gray area as a result one of the enhancements in this state of the industry report we tried to to ask those historic questions but then also layer on this question about capacity And capacity tends to be formed in one of a few ways.

Ari BetofGUEST
So 29% of schools, almost a third of them, have a maximum enrollment that is set by an external governing body.

Ari BetofGUEST
We see them in California, although we see them in other regions as well, and most often in urban areas.
