The Widely Predicted Growth in Enrollment Hasn't Materialized in Some States.
Healy, Patrick
Chronicle of Higher Education, v43 n49 pA23-A24 Aug 15 1997
Predicted enrollment growth at four-year colleges in some states has not occurred. Trends complicating projection include increase in high school students taking college courses and progressing quickly; community college demand among older students; federal aid and tax changes; growth of distance learning; state and federal welfare program changes; student unwillingness to pay out-of-state tuition; and cyclical economy.
