Universities had 17 years of warning. They responded by doing the opposite of what the math demanded.
In 2008, American birth rates fell off a cliff. The Great Recession made people stop having kids. Those never-born children would be turning 18 right now. The number of U.S. high school graduates peaked at roughly 3.9 million in 2025. By 2029, that number drops 15%. By 2041, it drops by nearly half a million students per year.
Every school in this tweet had access to the same Census data. They all saw the same curve.
Administrative positions at U.S. colleges grew 60% between 1993 and 2009, ten times the rate of tenured faculty growth. Non-instructional spending (student services, administration) grew 29% from 2010 to 2018. Instructional spending grew 17%. Average tuition at public four-year schools went from $3,500 in 2000 to $10,560 in 2023. Yale now has more administrators than undergraduate students. 5,460 administrators for fewer than 5,000 undergrads.
They built the cost structure of a growth company on top of a customer base that was mathematically guaranteed to shrink.
The split in this data tells you everything. Clemson, Syracuse, Duke, UNC, and Indiana are all cutting because the model broke. Alabama, Ole Miss, and the University of Florida are turning away more applicants than ever. Harvard gets five applications for every spot. The middle is where the cliff hits. Elite schools absorb demand. Everyone between elite and community college fights over a shrinking pool. The Fed published a study in December 2024 predicting 80 colleges will close in the next five years. Since 2016, over 100 already have. In 2024 alone, 28 shut down. One per week.
These program cuts and layoffs are a decade late. The birth rate data was sitting in Census spreadsheets the entire time. Everyone in higher education administration saw the enrollment cliff coming. They hired more administrators anyway.

Clemson is $1.5B in debt. Syracuse is closing or pausing 93 programs, UNC-Chapel Hill plans to cut spending by $89M over 3 years. Duke recently let 600 employees go in a $350M budget cut. Indiana public colleges announced a plan to eliminate or merge 580 programs statewide.

I was told by a 22yr old today that there was no way people were writing 10 page papers without AI.

When Ken Griffin and Citadel left Chicago:
Total 3-Year Impact: $846M in lost taxes + $2.65B in lost spending = $3.5B economic hit to Illinois/Chicago (not including philanthropy losses).

Ken Griffin says he's scaling down in NYC: "What the mayor of New York has made clear to us, is that we need to double down on Miami."

I am challenging any death penalty opponent — there are millions of them, allegedly — to step up to the plate right now and explain why this guy should not be executed. His guilt is established beyond any doubt whatsoever. His crime is utterly savage and heinous. Tell us why he doesn’t deserve to die. Go ahead.

Skenes has thrown 5,568 pitches at the MLB Level. He’s allowed 23 home runs.
That’s roughly one home run every 250 pitches against the world’s greatest hitters.
If you’re reading this: You would never, could never, never ever, ever ever, hit a home run off Paul Skenes. Ever.
FanDuel Sportsbook@FDSportsbook
Would you rather... A. Be given $50,000 right now B. Have 100 pitches to hit a HR off of Paul Skenes for $100 million

Are you telling me a businessman borrowed against his assets to grow his business?
What kind of lunatic does that when he could just go start a fake daycare and get free Medicaid money?
