ABSTRACT: The purpose of the study described here was to
identify indices of state efforts to promote equal
opportunity in higher education that might have influenced
state appropriations. In addition, an attempt was made to
discover common economic and demographic characteristics of
the 50 states that appear to influence state egalitarian
efforts. The models that resulted are based on human
capital theory and created by multiple regression analysis.
They explain the relationships between state economic,
demographic, and policy action characteristics and the
level of state financial investment in higher education for
fiscal year 1968-69 and were tested on data from later
years. Several data charts are appended, and a brief
bibliography is included. (MSE)

This is an ERIC database document. ERIC is the National
Education Information Network for providing ready access
to the literature of education -descriptions of exemplary
programs, research and development efforts, and related
information that can be used in developing more effective
educational programs. The ERIC database is currently
available on CD-ROM in the main library (ground floor of
the west wing) at Michigan State University. To locate
ERIC documents in the library identify the first line of
each record (i.e., the field ERIC TITLE NUMBER). ED
following ERIC TITLE NUMBER indicates an ERIC document,
an unpublished research study. Most of these items are
available in the Microforms library, located on the 3rd
floor of the west wing. All you need is the six digit ED
number. If EJ follows ERIC TITLE NUMBER the item is a
journal article. The complete journal name is listed after
the code JOURNAL.
