Effects of Key State Policies on Private Colleges and Universities: Sustaining Private-Sector Capacity in the Face of the Higher Education Access Challenge.

Thompson, Fred; Zumeta, William

Economics of Education Review, v20 n6 p517-31 Dec 2001

Examines the relationship between three key state policy variables and enrollments in private higher education. Finds that institutional density and low public tuition prices negatively affect enrollments in large, moderately selective private institutions and that state student-aid funding adversely affects enrollments in small, low-selective private institutions. Discusses policy implications. (Contains 66 references.) (PKP)
