Abstract | The Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) Fact Book presents the latest available information on significant national, regional, and SREB-state trends affecting higher education. Trends are presented from SREB's extensive databases on demographics, elementary/secondary education, higher education institutions and their enrollments, degrees granted, finances, student costs, financial aid, and faculty salaries. Information is also provided for the SREB states on enrollments and degrees awarded by race. Six sections focus on the following: population, education, and economy; institutions and enrollment; degrees; institutional finances; student finances; and faculty. SREB state profiles present a selection of statistics from each of the six headings, providing a convenient, at-a-glance overview of the progress and position of higher education in the region and individual SREB states. Some of the findings are as follows: over the last 10 years, full-time faculty salaries have increased faster than inflation in two-thirds of the SREB states; over the last 20 years higher education appropriations in the SREB region have increased from about 10% of state tax revenues to 16%; in the mid 1980s the number of bachelor's degrees awarded in the SREB states grew about one-half percent; and the high school graduation rate has increased during the 1980s both nationally and in the SREB states. An appendix provides SREB-state data exchange definitions of institutional categories. A list of state postsecondary education agencies is included. Contains 67 tables. (SM) |
