The present study is intended to provide regular annual reports on trends and the financial and educational conditions of the private sector for the entire United States. Issues covered are: (1) student enrollment, admissions and attrition; (2) faculty and staff ratios and administration; (3) program change; (4) college environment in relation to the public sector, private institutions, government, fund-raising, and student attitudes; (5) operating revenues and expenditures; (6) assets, liabilities, and net worth; and (7) student housing and dining. Appendices include: (1) comparative trends for private and public higher education; (2) mortality among private and public higher education; (2) mortality among private colleges; and (3) the comparative performance indicator. This study does not confirm the frequently asserted opinion that most private colleges and universities are essentially defunct and on their way to oblivion. Neither does it confirm the proposition that they are enjoying prosperity. The truth lies somewhere between these extremes. (Author/KE)
