Wonder if Stitt will be out drinking tonight and talking to the press about how great he is?
That's hilarious. I was having similar thoughts. I actually texted a few UMers before I read your post about maybe mixing in an ad that focuses on business or accounting once in a while.SonomaCat wrote:Based only on that one ad that they keep playing over and over, UM really, really plays up the liberal arts theme in their marketing, don't they? No wonder their enrollment is tanking -- think the kids know that dancing and singing isn't something that 99.9% of people are going to study in order to get a job.
Meanwhile, NSDU's ads make you think, "Wow, a kid could really do some cool academic stuff at a school like that ... and maybe they could take jazz dance as an elective for fun instead of taking a lot of jazz dance classes as a major."
It's a good time to be a land grant university.

You hit the nailon the head. Even my wife the griz fan was wondering the same. I thought it was the worst ad they could have used based on their current situation. If enrollment keeps tanking they will have to join the GNAC D 2 leagueSonomaCat wrote:Based only on that one ad that they keep playing over and over, UM really, really plays up the liberal arts theme in their marketing, don't they?

They are facing a $12 million shortfall and are laying off staff largely because of the worthless degrees they highlighted today in their recruiting video.

MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) — University of Montana officials are working on a plan to make up for an estimated $10 million to $12 million shortfall in the upcoming fiscal year.
The Missoulian reports (http://bit.ly/1jxOFEL ) that UM President Royce Engstrom announced last month that the university would cut more than 200 positions in an effort to balance the school’s budget. UM Vice President of Finance Mike Reid said this week that the proposed cuts aim to address the estimated shortfall in fiscal 2017.
But some faculty members are questioning the data and information used by the president to make the cuts, which would be effective July 1. Engstrom has not provided the exact figures detailing UM’s current budget situation.
Reid says it’s unclear whether the cuts will make up for the entire shortfall.

Maybe expectations are lower in Missoula now.
