A history of the University of Kentucky Community College System (UKCCS) precedes this analysis of data on UKCCS enrollment, instructional programs, financial support, and student characteristics. Section I discusses Fall 1978 headcount enrollments for each of the 14 UKCCS campuses in terms of distribution by class, sex, and residence. Enrollment trends are also considered with regard to Fall headcount enrollments for 1964 and 1969 through 1978, full-time equivalent enrollments for these years, and first-time freshmen enrollments for 1967 to 1978. Section II discusses: (1) the distribution of Fall 1978 enrollment by instructional program (baccalaureate, applied science, or non-degree); (2) the number of graduates in these programs between August 1977 and May 1978; (3) the library holdings that support these programs; (4) the degrees held by full-time teaching faculty; and (5) faculty and staff development programs. Section III presents an analysis of the financial support base of UKCCS, discussing percent of operating expenditures by function, and average ten-month faculty salaries. Section IV discusses the standardized test scores, income, ethnic status, and age of Fall 1978 first-time freshmen. The report provides 34 data tables. (JP)
