Enrollment
limit boosts selectivity
Capped
enrollment has proved to be a positive move toward TCU’s
admission standards.
Since
capping enrollment, TCU has raised its enrollment standards
in order to maintain a high quality learning environment,
university officials said.
While more than 9,000 students are expected to apply to
TCU for next fall, only 1,600 students can be admitted,
Dean of Admissions Ray Brown said. |

Frats
try to avoid fines
The
$2,120 charged to fraternities for each empty bed in their
houses has caused some frats to renegotiate their housing
contracts with the university.
Phi
Gamma Delta owes $20,000 to the university for not being
able to fill their fraternity house and President Chris
Duty says they will owe even more after this semester.
For every unfilled bed in a house, fraternities have to
pay $2,120. Each fraternity’s contract states the
minimum number of beds they must fill, said Tiffany Abbott,
director of fraternity and sorority affairs. |
