Rand Published by Research and Development Division American College Testing Program P. 0. Box 168, Iowa City, Iowa 5224C Summary This study examines the geographical distribution of various junior college characteristics. Scores for six factors or categories of college characteristics, identified in earlier ACT research,were computed for each of 581 accredited junior colleges. When these junior colleges were classified and analyzed by geographical region, significant differeaces were found among regions on all six factors-- Cultural Affluence (or Private Control), Technological Specialization, Size, Age (or Conventionalism), Transfer Emphasis, and Business Orientation (or High Cost).The regional differences are discussed and implications are suggested for research and counselingas well as for junior college planning. Regional Differences in JuniorColleges James M. Richards, Jr. Leonard P. Rand Lorraine M. Rand The junior college is alarge and important segmentof higher edu- cation in the United States,and it shows signs ofbecoming the largest and, in some respects, the mostimportant. The increasingimportance of junior colleges emphasizesthe need for comprehensiveinformation about these insiitulions.The interests of stucleilts,of colleges and of society demand that plansfor the future growth ofjunior colleges be as rational as possible, andbased on accurate knowledgeabout such colleges. The purpose of the presentstudy is to examine thegeographical distribution of various junior collegecharacteristics. Such information may provideclues to the influences thatmold and shape the structures of junior colleges, and to themajor adaptive responsesof the college as an organization.More important, it mayprovide illuminating infor- mation about the alternativesfor the orderly developmentof junior colleges. The basis for this researchis the study by Richards,Rand, and Rand (1965) of junior collegeenvironments, in which 36different char- acteristics of junior colleges wereidentified.Through use of factor analysis, the complexrelationships among these 36 collegecharacteristics -2- were reduced to a limited number of categories that can be interpreted in terms of their underlying nature. Six such categories, or factors, were obtained and given names which seemed to reflect their general meaning. These factors were Cultural Affluence, Technological Specialization, Size, Age, Transfer Emphasis, and Business Orientation.These 'actors organize the infor mation currently available about junior colleges into a brief profile. This brief profile can be used to characterize individual junior colleges or groups of junior colleges.In the present study, the profile was used to describe junior colleges grouped according to their location. Method 1;stimation of Factor Scores. Using the data in American Junior Colleges (Gleazer, 1963), the first step in the present research was to estimate six factor scores for each of 581 accredited junior colleges. For each factor, three or four variables with high loadings on that factor and low loadings on all other factors were selected. Each variable was used in estimating only a single factor. Using the Doolittle procedure:, multiple correlations were computed between variables and factors. The factor loadings served as validity coefficients; i.e. , as the corre- lations between variables and factors.The variables chosen to repre- sent each factor, the beta weight for each variable, and the multiple correlation between each group of variables and the corresponding factor are shown in Table 1. -3- Table 1 Institutional Variables, Beta Weights, and MultipleCorrelations for Estimating Factor Scores for Junior Colleges Factor Factor Beta Loading Cultural Affluence (multiple correlation with factor =.85) 1.

Inspection ofthe score distributionssuggested, however, that anormalizing transformationwould be desirable, and small range that the precisionof the factor scoreswould justify only a of transformed scores.Accordingly, the estimatedfactor scores were converted to stanines(Guilford, 1952, p. 503),1 whichare normalized standard scores with a meanof 5 and a standarddeviation of 1.96. Reinterpretation ofFactors, Inspection ofthe high-scoring and low-scoring colleges oneach factor suggestedthat the interpretationof three of the sixfactors should bemodified. The fact thatthe factor scores suggestedreinterpretation of somefactors confirms theconclu- sion that this factorsolution should beconsidered only a firstapproxi- mation to the orderingof complex phenomena,and that the titles given the factors should notbe taken too literally_ First, on the CulturalAffluence factor, collegeswhich traditionally ) do, have been consideredhighly affluent (PineManor, Gulf Park, etc. for the most part, havehigh scores on thisfactor. There are also many colleges which have high scoreswhich could not beconsidered affluent small by any reasonablecriterion. Thesecolleges are typically very 3A Xerox copy of the table showing thestanine score for eachcol- available for $1 from theResearch andDevelopment lege on each factor is Iowa :Division, AmericanCollege Testing Program,Box 168, Iowa City, 52?40.

Becausemany of the varia- bles with high loadingson this factor were expressed in "per-student" terms, it is possible for a college with an extremely small libraryand . an extremely small faculty to obtaina high score on this factor if it also has an extremely smallstudent body. Moreover, publiccolleges with generally larger student bodiestended to obtain lowscores on this factor, even those (such as Foothill) whichappear quite affluent in the usual sense of the word. A better title for thisfactor, therefore, might be Private Control. Second, the Age factor T- appears to require reinterpretation. .1.).1.a recent article, Stanley (1965)attempts to identify the oldestju.pior college in the country. Severalcandidates for this distinctionare mentioned. Unfortunately, the leading candidateshave an averagescore on this factor which is only moderatelyhigh.This suggests that Conventionalism might be a better title for thisfactor sinceage alone without more tra- ditional characteristics ofcolleges suchas a high proportion of full-time. faculty and full-time students,does not producea high score. Finally, the Business Orientationfactor should be reinterpreted. Specifically

  • The Affirmative Duty to Integrate in Higher Education
    Notes The Affirmative Duty to Integrate in Higher Education I. Introduction In the sixteen years since Brown v. Board of Education,' there has been an evolutionary expansion of the duty to desegregate state ele- mentary and secondary school systems once segregated by law. Southern higher education, however, is today marked by racial separation and by a general inferiority of the historically Negro colleges. This Note will consider whether the Supreme Court's holding in Green v. School Board of New Kent County, Virginia2 has any implications for higher educa- tion. The specific questions to be answered are: (1) since there is still a racially identifiable dual system of public higher educational institu- tions in the South, do the states have a duty to take affirmative steps (beyond establishing racially nondiscriminatory admissions policies) to encourage integration; and (2) if such a duty exists, how do the current circumstances of higher education condition the scope of duty and the remedies which courts may enforce? The need for standards8 to measure a state's compliance with Brown in higher education is particularly acute because the Office of Civil Rights for the Department of Health, Education and Welfare has required several states4 to submit plans 1. 347 U.S. 483 (1954) [hereinafter cited as Brown I].

NEYLAND TATE-SUPPORTED HIGHER EDUCATION among Negroes in s Florida had its beginning during the decade of the 1880’s. The initial step in this new educational venture was taken by Governor William D. Bloxham who, during his first administra- tion, vigorously set forth a threefold economic and social program. In his inaugural address he declared that in order to promote the interest, welfare, and prosperity of the state, “we must in- vite a healthy immigration; develop our natural resources by se- curing proper transportation; and educate the rising generation.’’ 1 He promulgated this combination as “the three links in a grand chain of progress upon which we can confidently rely for our future growth and prosperity.’’ 2 During his four years in office, 1881-1885, Governor Blox- ham assidiously endeavored to implement his inaugural pledges.
