NYT figures

[David W Kaiser]

Regarding the NYT article in which a 45% drop in enrollment was mentioned,
how does enrollment look compared to historical trends? Specifically, did
we get a "spike" in the late 80s due to the heady days of glasnost, only
to return to historically normal levels in the 90s? Or is this a true
decline in enrollment and not a correction (to use the economists' term
for such things)?
