Enrollments at SUNY Schenectady and Fulton-Montgomery County Community College dropped 15 percent this fall. Union and Skidmore college lost out on millions of dollars of room and board revenue.
And The College of Saint Rose on Tuesday night announced the elimination of 25 academic programs, including art and music degrees, a mathematics program and chemistry degree, and a handful of education graduate degrees.
