It's because students are smarter than they were a few years back and can see many universitys for the liberal cess pools they have become.
They are looking for an education not indoctrination.

The number of students attending class at the University of Montana has fallen once again.
UM announced Friday that preliminary fall enrollment of 13,358 students, marking a 3.8% drop on the main campus as well as a 6.5% drop at Missoula College.
The UM Office of Planning, Budgeting and Analysis had projected a lower fall enrollment.
“We were conservative in our projections because we knew we had large numbers of students graduating again this past year and smaller classes still in the pipeline,” said Dawn Ressel, associate vice president for planning, budgeting and analysis.
“In my State of the University address, I identified enrollment as an ongoing challenge,” UM President Royce Engstrom said in a news release. “A number of factors affect enrollment. For UM, they include the sharp rise in two-year enrollment at Missoula College during the recession and a decline as the economy has improved.”
UM has made many changes in the past several years to respond to enrollment challenges and to ensure that more students who come to UM are prepared, stay and are successful, Engstrom said.
That new and continuing work includes enhanced advising, additional scholarship money, faculty outreach to Montana high schools, additional recruiting visits and new marketing materials.
