I've been at this school since 2017, now as a graduate student. This issue has been consistent since at least 2015 because I knew seniors (my freshmen year) that were bothered by this trend.
Over time, I've spoken with many professors about this issue and they concur with the view point the students eventually gather. With every new freshmen class being "The biggest in Mines history" the increase each year has been linear (as shared by a notable professor) and shows the growth is probably planned.
Clearly, it's purposeful or the admissions department is grossly incompetent.
During Covid in one of my mandatory in person classes, the professor said he would use zoom daily and we didn't actually have to be in person. He said that the school was making the class be "mandatory in person" to justify charging the typical cost of tuition.
The school has demonstrated for 6+ years they don't care/prioritize the student's experiences in any meaningful action. Especially since it takes a student 2 or 3 years to really recognize it's a trending issue and they're likely graduating soon enough that they, and their 'beef' with the school, will be gone.
You can see this the the " "Meaningful Expansion" Unjustly Taking Precedence over Mental Health, Parking, Housing, & Classroom Sizes" beef posted in April 2019 when organizing all what's your beef posts by top issues (400ish votes).
