From the CGS meetings

The Chronicle of Higher Ed has posted two articles that might be of interest.

The first addresses rising debt and poor job prospects of those in graduate programs. The second focuses on graduate education in the humanities. The comments on each post are also interesting and you may want to take a look at them.

In the first article, Ms. Mellott mentions that grad school enrollment has declined for the last 2 years. Has anyone seen the hard data that backs up this statement?

I thought that I had read that grad school applications are up for the last couple of years (perhaps this was based on record numbers of GRE test-takers). Is it true that applications are up while at the same time enrollment (acceptance/matriculation) is down?
