As president of a once presitgious University, what strategies would you enact to rebuild the population of graduate students at the University.  Currently the total graduate population is about 15% of the total student population.  The backbone of any research University is its ability to maintain critical mass in terms of graduate students to sustain that research.  Our 15% ratio is at the bottom compared to any other "presitigous" Research University.  Do you regard this as a serious problem and if so, what real implementation steps do you propose to reverse this trajectory?
