This report outlines the criteria for establishment of new public colleges and universities in Florida between May 1991 and the early part of the 21st Century; the plan emanated from legislative concern about Florida's ability to meet projected future demands for highly educated workers. Issues addressed include goals for degrees granted and number enrolled on a state-wide basis, and minimum size goals for new institutions. A three-phrase planning model for new institutions includes a threshold analysis (participation rate, population base, geographic access), feasibility guidelines (demonstration of need, impact on other systems, cost-effectiveness, policy considerations), and an implementation plan (threshold analysis, feasibility study, implementation plans). An appendix consisting of the complete consultant's report for state-level planning of new colleges and universities in Florida makes up the bulk of this document. A copy of the brief 1990 Legislative Proviso is also appended. (JB)
