This new edition of the sourcebook is intended to be a reference on the historical backgrounds, current status, and emerging patterns of state higher education structures, specifically state coordinating and governing boards. An introductory essay by Aims C. McGuinness Jr. is titled "The Functions and Evolution of State Coordination and Governance in Postsecondary Education". This essay explains governance and coordination, describes existing state structures, offers an historical review of changes in state structures, looks at recent changes, and offers guidelines for states considering reorganization. Tables then display data on all states concerning: authority of state boards, patterns of campus and system governance, and patterns of state coordination and governance of community colleges and other two-year institutions. The largest section provides narrative profiles of the state postsecondary education structures for each state. Additional tables provide data on: (1) statewide postsecondary coordination, governance and planning; (2) agency responsibility; (3) basic legal powers and structures; (4) membership of central state coordinating and/or governing boards and public institutional and multicampus governing boards; (5) student and faculty membership--Central state coordinating and/or governing boards and public institutions and multicampus governing boards; and state-level agencies and committees. An appendix provides addresses and phone numbers of state higher education executive officers. (DB)
