Talk:Strategic enrollment management

Untitled
I hope this article has sufficient citations. Strategic Enrollment Management is definitely different than "enrollment management". Feel free to add to the article. Eric Stoller (talk) 23:15, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

SEM versus EM
So I think it should be EM, not SEM. SEM is probably well known as Search Engine Marketing, whereas Strategic Enrollment Management is not that. Enrollment Management is that even if it isn't strategic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattrhames (talk • contribs) 17:49, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

This article should be called Strategic Enrollment Management, because this is the name of the field, and it is clearly distinguished from Enrollment Management in the article. For evidence that this is the name of the discipline, see for example this text, which is the canonical one used in programs preparing students in this field: https://www.worldcat.org/title/handbook-of-strategic-enrollment-management/oclc/904246443 Evan Donovan (talk) 05:21, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

Suggested Edits to the Lead Section
The lead seems overly detailed with information that includes some key aspects of what SEM includes but not all. Additionally, there are a few statements that are not cited that should be (example - "A student's success, according to an enrollment manager, is often based on the institution's graduation and retention rates"). A professional practicing in higher education could tell that it was likely written in the context of higher education in the USA (although this is not explicitly stated) because of a reference to community colleges and institutions in general as mainly being encompassed in the single term "college". The lead should either be neutral in those terms or include other contexts in which the subject is applied (such as Canada) so that those who are not subject matter experts in the industry/field are getting a holistic understanding. The lead also makes reference to several components of SEM (typically seen as operating units within an institution) that are then not mentioned elsewhere in the article for further detail so they should be either further elaborated on in other content areas or removed. Finally, there are several copy edits that are required (capitalization at beginning of sentences, appears that an incorrect acronym is being used in the sentence following a mention of GEM, etc.)--Kcdalleyne (talk) 19:53, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
