Press Herald Interviews Jung on UMaine Enrollment

The Portland Press Herald spoke with Jimmy Jung, vice president for enrollment management at the University of Maine, for the article “Maine public universities face mandate to get numbers up.” Jung said he has had to “work smarter” to increase recruiting numbers, and cited techniques such as data-mining to get profiles of prospective students by tracking their online behavior on UMaine websites. The Associated Press also wrote a report citing the Press Herald article. Sun Journal, The Republic, and San Francisco Chronicle carried the AP report.
