Kansas is facing challenges in meeting its postsecondary goals

• The population of Kansas is projected to decrease in 85 counties (2014-2044).

• The racial/ethnic characteristics of Kansans are changing.

• Since 2010 Kansas grew by 1.8% (52,341)• 47,303 more Hispanic residents• 11,315 more Asian residents• 31,718 fewer White residents

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON ENROLLMENT

Class of 2020 – Fall Plans

“Would you consider delaying your higher education if COVID-19 was not properly resolved by fall?”Responses from the Midwest:

• 34% Will Not Delay• 35% Slight Chance• 23% Some Chance• 7% High Chance• 1% Planned to Delay

Source: Carnegie Dartlet

College Students – Fall Plans

Strada-Gallup Education Consumer Survey Results

Employment Impact

What next?• Greater numbers of working Kansans could

suddenly seek career changes.• Employers could play a role in developing

their own talent pool.• Prior to the pandemic, the Legislature was

considering financial aid for more Kansans. The Board’s advocacy will be important to keep that alive.

• Higher education, while in the midst of tremendous financial pressures, will have to innovate under these difficult circumstances.
