ABSTRACT: The New Jersey annual report on higher education
outlines achievements and problems within the system. Five
sections focus on the following topics: (1) introduction;
(2) system status report (size of the system, budget and
finance, funding policies and formulas, faculty, state
college autonomy, and overall academic health); (3) the
foundations of excellence (the Governor's challenges,
departmental grant programs, the 1984 Jobs, Science, and
Technology Bond Act, and improving undergraduate education);
(4) equity/access (transfer advisory board, minority
enrollment initiatives, basic skills, affirmative action,
and student assistance); and (5) special issues (assessment,
Student Unit Record Enrollment system, health professions
education policy, initiatives, and sector study
commissions). Two appendices provide tables on finance,
academics, admissions/enrollments, and faculty in New Jersey
and on membership of the Advisory Board and groups. A map
shows the locations of New Jersey colleges and universities.
Twelve figures include information on total expenditures by
New Jersey higher education by collegiate sector, statewide
distribution of projects, and net tuition paid by tuition
aid grant recipients. (SM)
