Regents quiz University of Montana officials on enrollment, finances, and "changing the narrative"

Time is of the essence for the University of Montana to stave off its enrollment decline and ensure its budget is lined up with its priorities.

At the Montana Board of Regents meeting last week, regents quizzed UM officials on its enrollment, strategic plan, and financial needs. Again and again, regents asked UM for its timeline – for changing its program spending priorities, for starters.

"This is not a broken campus," said Regent Bob Nystuen. "It’s one that clearly needs some additional direction and attention and messaging to continue to restore it to where it really belongs."
