The report also describes key measures of student outcomes, and addresses the most frequently asked questions related to expenditures, personnel and students. Report highlights include: (1) the Washington community and technical colleges served 472,470 students in 1999-00, the largest number ever enrolled; (2) the community and technical colleges enrolled the equivalent of 153,559 full-time students (annual FTEs) each quarter in 1999-00; (3) the racial composition of the student population was significantly more diverse than that of the state as a whole (the two-year colleges serve 27% people of color compared with 17% people of color in the state population); (4) system expenditures totaled more than $757 million; (5) 33,962 students enrolled in distance-learning classes (5,413 FTEs) including Internet courses (14,500 students); and (6) $1,584 tuition and fees were charged to a full-time student for classes over three quarters.
