9,672 is the total number, including on-campus, commuter, and online students, and including undergrad, graduate, and doctoral level students
As far as I know, they haven't yet released the breakdown of each of those categories.

We were at 8,000 when I was a Freshman in 1989. It seems like we should have crossed 10k a long time ago.

I remember the goal was to get there by 2010 when I was a student rep on some big whig committee back around 2000. Meehan really dropped the ball there.... I think the lack of housing after the tornado has held us back the last few years. Luckily we have a large dorm opening by next fall which will help. Winning a bowl game could help push us over the mark as soon as next year. |

Meehan was very conservative with funds, good and bad go with this plan. Buildings were getting dated and it has taken awhile to get back on track with being up to date, or closer. The tornado may have been a blessing with the new available funds and increasing the speed of updating.
Still need to increase majors but the state keeps this from happening hoping to protect the competiton from the more favored schools in the state. This is more a product of the leaders in our area (Anniston and Gadsden) having more loyalty to Alabama and Auburn than their local area. For decades the local politicians had little to no pressure on them to keep JSU up to date on academics and majors. Even recent local representative whould give you the, JSU doenst need any engineer Auburn has engineering.
JSU leaders do have faults and will always have faults but some of the schools faults are not always a product of JSU leadership. Somethings are a community effort and the loyalty to a non area institution which hurts the opportunities for Northeast Alabama citizens.

JSU leaders do have faults and will always have faults but some of the schools faults are not always a product of JSU leadership. Somethings are a community effort and the loyalty to a non area institution which hurts the opportunities for Northeast Alabama citizens. All of these are valid points. What it comes down to is that JSU will grow when JSU people support it. Yes, our reps could help more with public monies. Yes, AU and AL get the biggest bite of the public monies. There is a big lawsuit now about how the state has disproportionally funded A&M compared to Auburn when both are state land grant universities. It's terrible that we are crediting a tornado for improving our campus, but it's true. These new buildings should have been able to be funded by JSU people instead of insurance companies. I don't doubt that the posters on this board care about JSU - much more than the general public - but many on here will complain constantly about costs. The same people that complain about the costs of tickets, beer, food, and upgraded seating areas are the ones that will criticize our leaders for not making the stadium a football Taj Mahal. I know that everyone has a different level of financial capability, but sometimes you can pay a little more just because it is helping your school. One thing I can't understand is how UNA is growing so much. They have surpassed us in campus size but still face all of the same problems that Gem mentioned. Their alumni are similar to ours and they can't seem to get on the same page regarding their stadium either. However, they have outgrown us in student population and they have a larger endowment. We need to be looking into how they are getting it done. |

Need to buy Gadsden State, expand our online class footprint, market more in Georgia, brand to Jax State permanently, keep upgrading our campus, buying nearby property to expand, and keep marketing! We will easily be at 13k-15k
