A history of the University of Kentucky Community College System (UKCCS) begins this presentation and analysis of data on UKCCS enrollment, instructional programs, financial support, and student characteristics. Section 1 looks at fall 1981 headcount enrollments for each of the 14 UKCCS campuses in terms of distribution by enrollment status, class, sex, and residence. Enrollment trends are considered in section 2 with regard to: (1) headcount and full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollments for 1964 and 1971 through 1981; (2) fall 1981 headcount enrollment by degree level (i.e., transfer, technical, and non-degree) and in comparison to fall 1980 enrollment; (3) degree level enrollment by sex; (4) credit hours offered by degree and course levels; (5) FTE enrollment by degree and course levels; and (6) a comparison of FTE enrollments by course level for fall 1979 through fall 1981. This section also looks at the number of graduates by degree, technical peogram, and college for 1974 through 1981; UKCCS library holdings; and the highest degree held by faculty. Section 3 analyzes the financial support base of UKCCS, detailing general fund expenditures by function, expenditures from recurring general funds, general funds budgeted by function, and average faculty salaries by rank. Section 4 examines the income, ethnic status, and age of fall 1981 first-time freshmen and compares their standardized test scores with those of similar groups in 1971 through 1980. The report includes 34 data tables. (KL)
