Feasibility Study of a Public/Independent Articulation Agreement: Report and Recommendations of the Postsecondary Education Planning Commission. 1987--Report 1.
Florida State Postsecondary Education Commission, Tallahassee.
In response to legislative mandate, a study was conducted to determine the feasibility of developing a comprehensive articulation agreement between public and non-public postsecondary institutions in Florida. As an initial step, state higher education officers in other states were surveyed, revealing that no state had such a comprehensive agreement. In addition, presidents and academic officers at 30 postsecondary institutions in Florida were surveyed by telephone to determine their preference for either a statewide comprehensive agreement, local agreements, or some other arrangement for articulation. Only 23% of the respondents supported the concept of a statewide agreement, while 33% preferred the concept of local articulation agreements and 44% supported the idea of local articulation agreements fostered by the state through the provision of guidelines and encouragement. The study also involved a telephone survey of registrars and admissions and articulation coordinators at 32 selected postsecondary institutions in Florida, which revealed that half of the public sector registrars did not perceive a need for a statewide comprehensive articulation agreement, while all but one of the independent sector respondents reported a need for such an agreement. Recommendations are included. Appendices provide relevant legislation, survey response data, examples of articulation, and a literature review. (EJV)
