COLLEGIATE ENROLLMENTS IN THEU.S 1979-80 Statistics, Interpretations, and Trends in 4-Year and Related Institutions J. Ernest Mick ler The 60th annual report on collegiateenrollments in the United States was based on data received from 1,635 four yearinstitutions in the U_S., Puerto Rico, and U.S. Territories, The grandtotal of student enrollments for fall 1979 was 6,929,323. Of these there were4,904,085 full-time and 2,016,731 students part-timestudents(8,507undesignetedstudents).Women comprised 49.5% of the population with mencomprising 50.5%. The studies were begun in 1919 andcontinued for 40 years by the late Dr_ Raymond Walters, long-time presidentof the University of Cincinnati. In 1960 Dr. Garland G. Parker ofCincinnati assumed the authorship and continued the studies for 19 years throughfall, 1978. Formerly the studies were published in Schooland Society and its successor Intellect.However, since 1975, The American CollegeTesting Program has published the studies as ACT Special Reports.A companion report on enrollmentsin American two-year institutions was begunin 1972-73, and ACT has publishedthis series since its inception, The 60th annual study of 4-yearinstitutions and the 8th annual studyof 2-year institutions were conducted in adifferent setting by a new researcher. Because of the feeling that there wasmerit in continuing the studies The University of Alabama became theinstitutional sponsor of the research in Planning and 1979.J.ErnestMick ler,AssistantVicePresidentfor Operations, assumed the responsibilityfor conducting the research, andACT agreed to continue its publication. As a non-governmental activity,requirements cannot be imposed on the reported submissionofdata.However, 83% ofeligibleinstitutions enrollments in time for inclusion inthe report (actually reports from 32 additional institutions with total enrollmentsin excess of 80,000 students were received too late toincorporate in the 4-year study).

In 1979growth occurred again by .5%. Theincrease was calculated on the basisof reports from 1,457 institutions whichreported enrollments in fall, 1978and again in fall, 1979.

Full-time enrollment show an even greater gain up 1.7%. Full-time student enrollments accounted for 71% of the reporting population in the 1979 data. This figure does not reflect much change over the past year or so; however, there were some fairly significant shifts in part-time enrollments. Only two categories of institutions had declines in full-time enrollments in fall, 1979: Multipurpose colleges and universities with less than -.1% and theological schools with 2.3%. Each of these categories experienced total enrollment gains as reported above. The full-time enrollment percentages of increase ranged from 3.1% reported by the unitary systems to 1.2% reported by the private-complex universities, Details of enrollments by ca'.egory are in thefollowingsections.Listingsbyinstitutionswithin categoriesare presented in Tables 1-10. Unitary systems report a 3.1% increase in full-time enrollments. The unitary state systems account for 26% of the total number of students enrolled in the 1,635 institutions which ren.irted this year By definition these systems include all higher education campuses which are controlled by statewide boards and administered by an executive officer with statewide system responsibilities. There were 1,201,981 full-time students reported by the 141 campuses of the unitary state systems, a gain of 3.1% over the 1978 totals from comparable institutions. Total enrollment on the unitary systems campuses for fall, 1979 was 1,781,120, ia gain of 2.9% over figures reported by the same units last year. A notable decline was observed in full-time faculty with a decrease of 5.2 %©. Yet, there was an overallincreaseintotalfaculty of 4.9%. A logical explanationfor this change isthat part-time faculty members can be employed with less cost to the institution than full-time, tenure

  • UWC Atlantic College: the Elite School in a Castle That's Helping Educate
    News The Essential Daily Briefing Education UWC Atlantic College: the elite school in a castle that’s helping educate young refugees Gilded towers: St Donats Castle Wales (Sarah Savage) byEtan Smallman 2 months Wednesday April 12th 2017 Glitterati parties In the 1930s, St Donat’s Castle in the Vale of Glamorgan, south Wales, was the venue for lavish parties attended by converted by Web2PDFConvert.com everyone from John F Kennedy and Frank Sinatra to Clark Gable and Charlie Chaplin – when it was owned by American newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst. But if you visit the imposing 12th-century estate today, you are more likely to come across one of the most international assortments of students in the UK than a glittering bash. Educational sanctuary UWC Atlantic College’s 350 pupils hail from 90 countries. The boarding school attracts wealthy teenagers whose parents pay fees of £58,000 for the two-year International Baccalaureate programme (alumni include the King of the Netherlands, two serving members of the Chinese Communist Central Committee and the offspring of Queen Noor of Jordan). But more than half of students receive some kind of scholarship – among them a contingent of refugees who have fled warzones in pursuit of a top-class education and sanctuary in the remote seaside castle. One of the greatest challenges for the refugees is getting over the guilt of being rescued Catering for them is no easy task. Teachers are keen not just to overcome the language barrier by improving their English, but also to help them maintain their mother tongue (with a dedicated Arabic teacher, for instance).

  • UWC Dilijan: One Absolutely Happy School
    UWC Dilijan: one absolutely happy school Better to learn and understand other people when they differ from us more difficult than those who belong to the same community with us. But at the same time is much more useful: when we come into contact with representatives of other traditions and cultures, different mentality, understand the common and the differences between us — horizons inevitably expand, the mind becomes more flexible, leave prejudices and the tendency to stereotypical thinking. The result is much more than knowledge about how different countries celebrate the New year. The policy of multiculturalism, growing since the 1970s years in many countries of the world has always been through understanding the diversity of cultures, identities, points of view — to come to an understanding of unity and wholeness. And thereby reduce tension in the society, to reduce the number of conflicts to reach the realization that any two people, no matter how they differed from each other, are part of humanity. And, therefore, their culture can interact, intertwine, to become part of human culture. Of course, education can become a powerful driving force in the process of bringing people and cultures. This thesis represents the mission of the UWC, or the United World Colleges founded in 1962 and is today recognised around the world. UWC to date is 17 schools and colleges on four continents and more than 60 000 graduates. UWC Atlantic College (Wales, UK) Source: uwcmahindracollege.org Netherlands and Swaziland, India and Singapore, Costa Rica, and Norway — in all these countries there are institutions and UWC. In 2014, the first UWC College appeared in the former Soviet Union, in Transcaucasia, midway between the capitals of Armenia and Georgia, in the Armenian city of Dilijan.

In doing so: a Wherever possible agencies should attempt to direct program funds and technical assistance resources towards improving administrative and education infrastructures of historically Black colleges and universities. b In cases where agencies project decreased funding for all higher education institutions, they should strive to increase the percentage share allocated to historically Black colleges and universities consistent with law. c Agencies should continue to eliminate identified unnecessary and irrelevant procedures, prerequisites, and policies to the participation of historically Black colleges and universities in Federal programs and to accelerate activities to single out those policies or regulations which have inhibited full participation in such programs by historically Black colleges and universities.
