- Annual Status Report on Higher Education in Texas. January 1992. Access to Education College Faculty College Libraries College Students Degrees (Academic) Educational Facilities Educational Finance Enrollment Enrollment Trends Higher Education Minority Groups Research Projects Statistical Data Student Costs Student Financial Aid This report presents a "snapshot" of higher education trends in Texas in 1990-91. An opening letter notes that the state is currently coping with record enrollments, greater competition for state dollars, and the impact of these issues on educational quality. A section on students looks at enrollment, minority enrollment, financial aid and the Texas Academic Skills Program. A section on faculty presents information on English-language proficiency, part-time faculty, teaching load, and salaries. A section on programs lists degrees awarded in areas of critical need: retraining programs for math and science teachers, allied health care, nursing, teacher education, international education and work force training. A section on the educational pipeline from kindergarten through graduate school documents a decline in minority enrollment beginning in grade 9. A section on research reviews the Texas Advanced Research and Technology Programs. Funding is also treated including appropriations, library expenditures and tuitions. Campus buildings and educational facilities are discussed including a facilities audit, space standards, a building quality survey and private development. Institutional access is addressed in light of a lawsuit against the Texas higher education system and telecommunication systems for distance learning. A final section presents information on the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board. Numerous figures illustrate the report. (JB)
