For my editorial, I want to write about my opinion that OU is not doing enough in terms of course availability. Since the early 1990s, I have attended several colleges and universities of different sizes, and in different parts of the country. Never before have I found my choice of courses to take in any given semester so limited.
I am an older, returning student with a full time job and a family, but I realize that todays
"traditional" students are also finding themselves entering the professional world much earlier than I ever had to back when I was a traditional student. Fortunately, I have never skipped a semester at OU because I couldn't find a course that I needed at a time when I could attend it. But there have been some close calls some terms.
OU, which is clearly a commuter college, needs to do more to make available the courses that students needs at a time when they can attend.

Because you are an experienced student, I think it grounds your claim. Even though OU has increased #s of courses, they have not kept demand with student enrollment. You can find some good data on OU's website about enrollment and increased #s. I think if you do it right, this can be an effective revelant topic - especially with economy and projected increase in response to it.
