ABSTRACT: The 1981 statewide plan for higher education in
New Jersey is presented. The following challenges for the
future are briefly addressed: education in a technological
society, liberal education for social change, the size and
composition of the college population, public priorities and
fiscal resources, the role of government, the Board and
Department of Higher Education, the chancellor,
institutional quality, affirmative action, international
education, research, and cultural responsibilities. Policy
for the decade ahead is considered in relation to
opportunities for higher education, quality of educational
programs, research and advancement of knowledge, and
management and accountability. The role and mission of
specific institutions of higher education and of each sector
are considered. Enrollment goals and projections are
specified regarding undergraduate enrollment goals, the
proportion of high school graduates going to college, the
role of out-of-state students, the retention of students,
and the enrollment of transfer students and older students.
Admission policies for the 1980s are considered in respect
to increasing access, matching student needs with
institutional strengths, and increasing access to transfer
students. Academic program quality concerns, quality and
development of the faculty, basic skills testing and
programs, bilingual education, institutional resources, and
student services and facilities are addressed. Issues
pertaining to financing higher education in the 1980s and
specific programs, including vocational and cooperative
education, and health professions education are also
covered. Minimum requirements for degrees and the
methodology for projecting enrollments are described in
appendices. (SW)
