The enrollment caps in place for DC colleges are unfair and probably illegal – the schools should formally challenge the caps. The size and growth of colleges and universities in DC is already regulated by zoning standards – just like other land uses. To treat colleges and universities differently and to dictate how many students they can have on a campus is like dictating how many employees a company or office building can have in the business district. It isn’t needed since these issues are already controlled by zoning. The enrollment caps unfairly limit the activity of DC colleges and hurt these institutions by limiting growth and viability.
