Enrollment at UNCA – Blog @ Mark’s Math
The UNC System tells us that enrollment is the driving cause of a continuing financial crisis at UNCA; that narrative is, at best, incomplete.

I've set up a blog! OK, it's only got one post so far and it's totally experimental but maybe it will go somewhere. It's built using Quarto (@quarto.org) and I plan to discuss math, data, tech, teaching, higher education, and related political issues. Check it out: blog.marksmath.org
