Many New York private colleges and universities that enroll mostly in-state students saw their numbers of undergraduates drop this fall, in the wake of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s scholarship push at public institutions . The Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities in New York found that at 30 of the 48 private schools that serve mostly New Yorkers, overall enrollment of first-time freshman from New York dropped 8% from last year, to 9,935. At these schools, at least 65% of undergraduates hail from in state.
