Every year the Sloan Consortium's report gathers more attention. Their 6th report, like the others, includes a plethora of quantitative information from a broad array of colleges and programs; this year's included more than 2500 colleges and universities. Of course all the key question areas are pertinent. However, with Monday's acknowledgment by the National Bureau of Economic Research that we are in a recession (and have been for a year), this year's focus on the economy's impact on Online enrollments could not be more timely.
