Xavier freshman enrollment declines, university moves toward 'recruiting sophomores' – Felicia Jordan, WCPO Channel 9 Cincinnati – August 19, 2025

Nothing you post, including linked articles, is worth reading.

Not only are you not on a Dayton forum, you're not on a Xavier forum, either.  Nobody cares.  Go spam some other school's forums.  Preferably, you know, Dayton's.

This thread has been reported several times, as a suggestion to ban Mr. Double-F.

This is a perfect opportunity to remind everyone that a subscription to Scoop Plus will allow you to read only the threads that interest you. 

Imagine, sitting in your mom's basement and getting all that Scoop goodness without the hassle of reading every thread that gets posted.  New to Scoop+ in 2014, the 'ignore' function may also come in handy.
