NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Enrollment is up almost 5 percent at Tennessee colleges and universities, but the state Board of Regents wants higher graduation rates to go with the increased number of students.
Universities have almost 95,000 students signed up compared with this time last year and nearly 100,000 students signed up for classes at community colleges across the state.
The Tennessean reports that schools don't have the money to hire new students or build buildings, but are managing by bringing in adjunct professors, promoting online classes and adding extra classes to the schedules until the school day.
In January, the state passed sweeping higher education reforms that require public colleges and universities to work together to improve Tennessee's graduation rate.
