And here are UAF’s numbers: 18,647, a record . The university also reports improvement in minority enrollment, with an 8.1 percent increase in black students to 1,023. Out-of-state students account for most of the enrollment gain in the freshman class — and, unless I miss my guess, scholarships to lure those students helped account for a healthy freshman class ACT of 25.8.
