Briefly: Columbia ups undergraduate enrollment

To save money, Columbia University will add 50 undergraduates and reduce the number of its doctoral candidates by 10 percent. The increased enrollment is expected to add about $1 million in net tuition revenue after the costs of the additional students are taken into account. Reducing graduate students saves money because they are enrolled in costly, fully funded programs. Other cost-saving measures enacted at Columbia so far include freezing faculty wages and postponing searches.
