[edit] Budget Cuts and Student Protests
Nevada State College faces possible cuts that would result in larger class sizes, fewer available classes and construction project delays. This has led to student protests. [3]
[edit] Low Enrollments
Nevada State College has been plagued by low enrollments in important majors. In 2008, the management program at Nevada State College expected to have 40 students in its third year but had only two.[4] This has led the provost DiMare to acknowledge that programs will be ended, saying "When we’re talking about a program with two students, there’s no viable reason for maintaining that". [5]
[edit] Lender's Refusal to Lend to Students
Due to the failing credit market Nevada State College has reported that lenders have dropped the institution from lending lists. [6]
