Jung, Jong-Chul; Cervero, Ronald M.; Valentine, Thomas
Journal of Continuing Higher Education, v51 n2 p2-12 Spr 2003
Composite state-level data from four national sets were used to compare 1991 and 1997 higher education participation of adults over 24. Variations in state structural factors significantly affected participation variance. Factors at one point in time substantially affected future participation. State policymakers had an influence on access and participation. (Contains 47 references.) (SK)
