The relationships among state appropriations to colleges, tuition and fees, and enrollment were studied at comparable institutions in 15 southern states. The 1982-1983 tuition and fees structures were assessed for institutions belonging to the Southern University Group. Changes in enrollment and tuition at both the graduate and undergraduate levels during the 5-year period from 1978-1979 through 1982-1983 were also evaluated, and comparisons were made using percentages and rank-orderings of percent changes. Findings include the following: for both graduate and undergraduate students, large increases in out-of-state tuition tended to be associated with large decreases in out-of-state enrollment; in-state enrollment was less sensitive to changes in tuition than was out-of-state enrollment; large increases (or decreases) in in-state enrollment was not systematically paired with large increases (or decreases) in out-of-state enrollment. Data are included on 1982-1983 academic year tuitions for resident/nonresident undergraduate, graduate, and law students, along with changes in in-state and out-of-state undergraduate and graduate tuition and enrollment for 1978-1979 and 1982-1983. Data on nonresident surcharges in dollars and as a percentage of the applicable resident fee are also provided. (SW)
