In 2006, Western Illinois University approved its master plan for a Moline riverfront campus, boasting that “this new location will host an initial enrollment of 3,000 students.”
Last year – with two of three planned construction phases complete – Western Illinois University-Quad Cities (WIU-QC) had 1,531 students.
On the surface, this looks pretty bad. There was no equivocation in that enrollment statement, and the numbers aren’t even close.
