The demographic cliff is such a problematic term.
It’s actually only - a 13-15% decline in college student populations over a fifteen year period (to 2041) — so less than 1% a year.
It excuses a lot of administrative poor decisions.

A looming 'demographic cliff': Fewer college students and ultimately fewer graduates
The long-predicted downturn in the number of 18-year-olds is almost here. And it isn't just a problem for higher education. It's a looming crisis for the economy.
