Designed to convey timely, accurate, and comparative information about Florida's 28 community colleges, this fact book provides descriptive and statistical data on enrollment trends, college personnel, educational finances, and governance. The report opens with a brief historical overview of the state system from its beginnings in 1933 to the present. Next, the report presents statistical tables on the state's community college students, covering: (1) annual student enrollments from 1948 through 1988; (2) fall 1988 headcount enrollment summary by ethnicity and gender; (3) 1987-88 full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollment by college, term, discipline, and program; (4) annual FTE by term, 1983-84 through 1987-88; (5) annual headcount enrollment in vocational programs, supplemental and apprenticeship courses, adult general and community instructional services programs; (6) student acceleration; (7) degrees and other formal awards in 1987-88; and (8) available vocational programs. The next series of tables provides salary data for instructional and non-instructional personnel, and information on the number of college employees by sex and race in fall 1988. Finally, financial data are presented on the system's beginning balance, revenues, expenditures, and costs of instruction and support programs. (ALB)
