I
Pr sentation of Dr . John 1'uhr befo re the Gov e1nor ' s Higher Education Budget Workshop Ju ly 26, 1979
8-l(a)
With i n th e tim e allocated, I will at tempt to limi t my r emarks to three areas: the cha l l enge confronting governing boards in submitting r ealjs tic budgets in light of poljtical reality; concerns about particular circum-stances and expecta tions I beli eve we will encount er in the 1980's; a nd recommend ations which will permit Higher Educotion the flexibility to meet changing needs in a period of r estricted resources.
I accept the challenge tha t we in the High er Education community must demonstrate the ability to change , to appraise itself , to improve, and to set an enviable pace for innova tions in Higher Education. However, our goals, and yours as elected officials, must be to ensure that Higher Edu-cation will be strong and dynamic in the years ahead , les t we forget the significant role of service Higher Education has provided to the people of Colorado .
Over the last thr ee decad es , our institutions have been s ensitive to the needs of the people and responsive to its probl ems . For example , in the years following World War II, we demonstrated a remarkable ability to meet the challenge of our exploding student population ; the scientific and technological thrusts for space exploration and health science advance-ment during the 60 's; and with the 70's came the need to satisfy the
appetit e of the American labor mark t for educational talent.
However, I believe we all recognize that Higher Education now faces ano ther period of great challenge. The excellence of some of our most outstanding and interna t ionally r ecognized programs are threatened by inflation and erosion of the State and Federal support base. Because the State has
adopted a maYLmum spending limitation fo r the next several years, temporary adjustments by Higher Education are no longer feasible. The impact of infla tion and the decline of numb ers of students , has brought Higher Educa-tion to a stage where reassessment of instituEduca-tional priority is mandatory and urgent. Our challenge , as Governing Board members, is to make adjust-ment s within the Col leges and Universities in order to generate a part of the fl exibility essential to maintain quality and initiate some new high priority academic activities and programs. However, in order to continue to play our his toric role of service, Higher Education must rega in the degree of fr ~edom ne cessary to respond to needs , new probl ems , and new
oppor tunities as they arise (more on that later ).
As I look ahead today , I am very concerned about a numb er of circumstances which I believe we will continue to encounter in the 1980's.
The rush toward judgment -- that enrollments will continue to decline beyond 1986 when moderate growth is indeed possible before the end of the next decade; the conflic t of the 7% statutory spending limitation, despite double digi t inflation and a populat ion growth of nearly 2% ; the decljn e in the credibi lity and standing of Higher Educa t ion with the General Ass embly and th eir impression that Higher Education is in a state of chaos , is cut cf control , that there i s too m11rh fRt in the institutions .
I
8-J (b)
and that faculty arc not productive enough; the lack of recognition
of the importance of a Research University to a high technological economy; the deterioration of our physical facilities, because the Sta t has not adopted a realistic deferred maintenance program; the imposition of a salary limitation -- which has already cost us some of our finest people, and which will undoubtedly inhibit our ability to recr uit and maintain quality staff; the threat that the responsi-bility for planning and postsecondary education will pass out of the hands of the Colorado Commission on Higher Education and into the hands of general State planning agencies for whom education does not constitute the fiscal priority, or directly into execulive or legislative control; that changes in governance will be th e panacea for the future ; t hat reasonable and responsible budgets will not be rewarded due to the con-tinuous staff turnover of the JBC, and the annual changes in various formulae used by the Committee; and lastly, both confusion about educa-tional purposes and the reduction in the economic value of Higher Ed ucation.
Let me now move to the area of r ecommendat ions which will hopefully permit Higher Education the degree of flexibility to maintain the quality of its programs of instruction, research and public service. First and foremost should come a commitment from our elected officials that Higher Education will be strong and dynamic in the years ahead; a commitment from the State
that it will utilize the major potential of State Universities to bring applied science to the service of State Government - - a potential that is not effectively being tapp ed ; incentives -- such as the elimination of t he horre ndous numbers of line items and footnotes - - elimination of which will permit flexibility to meet changing needs; incentives for faculty t o seek research grants by granting a portion of the indirect costs , to en-hance programs and provide for limited construction needs; a deferred
maintenance program of some $20 Million annually to protect our fine physical facilities; and continued support for the various formulae developed by the Association of State College and Universi ty Presidents; and lastly, an adjust-ment of the 7% spending limitation with something more sensitive to inflation
and population growth .
I t is obvious that over the last several years Higher Education has struggled t o maint ain the quality of its program, however, this has become inc reasingly more dif f icult and there is no reason to believe the road will be easier . Let us form a partnership in meeting the challenges ahead for neither ins t i -tu tional nor l egislative/executive goals can be met without tha t bond .

1976-1978
o Fall 1978-79 et hnic minoriti es comprised 13.5 percen t of Colorado public higher
education enrollment .
• Excl ud ing non-resident aliens for comparison of minorities in Colorado hi ghe r
educiltion to minorities within Colorado population -- the pa rticipation rate of
mi norities in statewide higher education is
n
. 5 percent compared to 18 .8
percent minority population within state -- for a ratio of .612 which is simi l ar
to the national ratio of .602.
From fall 1976 to fall 1978, the numbe r of ethnic minoriti es in Colorado higher
education grew at a faste r pace than did non-minorities. Incl uding non-resident
a 1 i ens, the minority headcount gre\i'J by 2, 220 students or ll . 9 percent -- excluding
non-resident a 1 i ens, the increase ove r the t1'10 years was 951 or 5. 8 percent.
No n-minori ty head count in comparison increa sed by 201 students or . 2 percen t .
o
The three ethnic groups
v~hichrnade the greatest gains in headcount were the
non-resident aliens , American Ind ian or Alaskan Native, and Asian or Pacific
Isl ander. From 1976 to 1978, the head count increase attributed to these three
ethnic categories was 2,036 or 91 percent of the total 2,220 minority student
headcount gai n.
s Compared to the private sector, the pub 1 i c sector ' s 1978 mi nority enro 11 men t
contained proportionately fewer non-resident ali ens and more Hispanics .
o Tv10-year
state supported institutions have an ethnic minority partici pation
rate of 17. 9 perce nt comparied to the four-year institutions ' 12.3 percent
partic i pation rate .
• Within the public sector, th e proportion of ethnic minority students cl ass ified
as graduate students i ncreased from 1976 to 1978 by 2 percent to reach a level
of 10 .1 percent of t o ta 1 minority enro 11 ment . 10 . 2 percent of non-minority
enroll ment is cl assified as graduate .
1
Additionally, in 1978 v.,iithin the public sector, ethnic minority females r ep resen t
41 .4 percent of total minority enro llment compared to 49 .l percent f emale
repre-sentation within the non-minority category . The 41
.4
pe rcent fema l e ethnic
minorities represented a 2. 3 percent increase over 1976.
t
Th e sta tus of f emu l e enro llment with in Co l orado public higher educatio n,
irrespect i ve of ethnicity, can be summarized as follows : In 1976, eight of t he
26 state-supported inst i tut ions included in the r eport reported enro ll ments of
over 50 percent f emale whi l e in 1978, 15 -- over one-half -- of the
state-supported i nstitut ions had enrollments of over 50 pe rcent f ema l e. In 1978,
49.l percent of tota l publ i c postsecondary enrollment ·was female .

A Report on Minority Enrollment
Withi n Colorado Postsecondary Education
1976 - 1978
Iss ue M of the CCHE master plan, A Plan and a Process for Postsecondary Educati on in
Col orado , asks: "l•lhat is the appropriate relationship for a state\.'1ide Master Plan
on Higher Education to Affirmative Action?
11Along with a statement of commitment to
affirmative action within Issue M, the Commission mad e a recommendati on that the
"CCHE promote the collection of r eliable racial and ethnic statistics relating to
demographic and economic change in the state , and that CCHE take a leadership role
in promoting the use of these data throughout state government in order that quality
of the total data base is both improved and more usable for educational pl anning .
11It is to Iss ue Mand the above-mentioned recommendation that this report speaks.
Thi s past fall publ ic and private postsecondary institutions \.'li thin Colorado, and
the nation, completed a Nat ional Center for Educational Statistics Higher Educatio n
General Information Survey (HEGIS) form entitled "Fall Enrollment and Compliance
Report of Institutions of Higher Education ,
1978.
11Using copies of the i ndividua l
i nstitutions
1responses to that survey, and comparing the data to data from the same
report required in
1976
(the report i s req uired in even -numbered years ), staff has
prepared the follow ing analysis of minority enroll ment withi n Colorado institutions
of hi gher education .
Four institutio ns -- one public and three private -- did not submit compli ance data
for f all of
1976 .
The total enroll ment as wel l as minority enrollment data for
1976
and
1978
for these i nst itutio ns has been excluded from th i s report . The
insti-t uinsti-tions are : Norinsti-theasinsti-tern Junio r College, Roc kmoninsti-t College, Jazarene Bibl e College,
and Intermountain Bible College .
During the fall term of
1978-79 , 20 ,855
minority students were enrolled wi th in
Colo rado higher education. Non-resident ali ens, numbering
3,541
of the total figure,
are i ncluded because they are , for purposes of t he federal survey, identi fied as one
of the six reporting categories .
To date, information has not bee n collected by the National Center for Education
Stati stics on the number and types of handicapped students within hi gher education.
Staff acknowl edges the lac k of data for this group and will support efforts for
such data coll ection in the future .
In fall
1978-79,
known ethnic minori ties as a percent of total enrollment comprised
13. 5
percent of the public sector and
11 .9
percent of the private sectJr. Removing
the non-res i dent alien catego ry, t hereby enabling a compariso n to the population of
the state , t he participation rates for minoriti es are adjusted to
11
.8 percent in
the publ ic sector compared to
8.9
percent in the pri vate sector, and
11
.5 percent
for the state as a whole .
The Colorado Department of Loca l Affa irs, in March of
1979,
issued population estimates
of ethnicity as of July
1, 1978 .
Those revis ed figu res indicate that minorities are
esti ma ted to comprise
18.8
percent of the total state population. Th e
18.8
percent
figu re repres ents a
1.6 percent gain in the minority population during the

The 18.8 percent minor ity popul ation estimated July l, 1978 , along vJith the

%The overall participation rate of mino rity students i n Colorado hi gher education is
lower than the overall minority representation in the state's population (11 . 5
pe~cen tcompared to 18.8 percent). The ratio of mi nority population in Colorado hi gher
educa-tion to mi nority popul aeduca-tion within the general popu lat ion in Colorado is .612 and is
essentially the same ratio as that of the nation .
The American Co unc il of Education ' s February 16 , 1979, issue of "Hi gher Education
and National Affa irs" announced a Ford Foundatio n project designed, in part, to study
the current status of minorities in highe r education . The Foundation stated tha t
"altho ugh there is considerable question as to the reli ability of the figure, the
four minority groups are said to account for about 9.7 percen t of higher education
enroll ment . .. . and 16 . l percent of the U.S. population . . .. " Thus, Colorado's ratio
of .61 2 (ll.5/1 8.8) is slightly hi gher but comparable to .602 for the U.S. (9. 7/16 .1).
The number of ethnic minorities in Colorado hi gher education is growing at a faster
pace than is the category of non-minority students . In reviewing and comparing the
1976 postsecondary data coll ected by the fe deral government to the 1978 data dis
-played in Table I, the number of minorities enrol l ed (again excludi ng non - resident
ali ens) i ncreased 5.8 percent compared to a total non-minor ity headcount increase for
Colorado postsecondary education durin g the same period of .2 percent (133,249 in
1976 to 133,450 in 1978) .
The years compared for the minority student analysis study are 1976 and 1978 -- years
in which the federal gove rnment required fall enroll ment data by student et hnic
category (reports required even-numbered years) . While it is true t hat opening fa ll
enroll ment from fa ll 1977 to fall 1978 dec lined 1. 2 percent statewide, the final
fall enrollment fi gures reflected in the compli ance reports (source documents for
the minority enrollment period ) of 1976 and 1978 represent a 1 .6 percent gain over
a two-year period.
Total minorities enrolled in 1978 represented an 11 .9 percent gain over the known
number enro lled in 1976 (non-resi dent al i ens included ) . Colorado higher educati on
enroll me ntlincreased by 1.6 percent or 2,421 students (1 51 ,884 to 154,305) during
this same period. The 2,220 additional known mi noriti es repre sent near ly all
(91.7 percent) of the hi gher education en roll ment ga i n. The total increase in the
number of mi no ri ties enroll ed , while impressive, can be more meaningful if anal yzed
to refl ect gr01-1th of minority groups by sector, by type of institution , and by ethnic
ca tegory.

The three ethnic groups compri sing the small est segments of the minority enrollmen t
statewide , made the greatest gains in actual numbe rs from 1976 to 1978. Those three
categories, non-resident aliens, American Indian or Alaskan Native , and Asian or
Pacific Islander, increased -- as can be seen from Table I -- by 55 .9, 33.l, and
27.6 percent, respectively. In actual headcount, these three groups accounted for
2,036, or 91 percent, of the 2,220 minority student headcount gain . A review of
Tabl e II above shov1s that fev1er Hispanics and appreciable more non-resident al ien s
are represented in the private sector's minority population . A more detailed profile
of the 1976 to 1978 change in ethnic group representatio n with in the public sector
is presented in Figure I.
Publi c and Private Sector -- Two and Four-Year
Institutio n Minority Participation Rates
Two-year institutions 1vithin the public sector have a minority participation rate
of 17.9 percent compared to the four-year institutions' 12.3 percent participation
rate (Tabl e III). Data seems to validate the American Council on Education statement
conta i ned in the aforementioned "Hi gher Education and Nationa l Affairs" February 16,
1979, issue that'' . . .. minority enrollment also tends to concentrate in the lower
years of higher education ....
11Table III further shows that the participation rate of Hispanics and black non
-Hispan ics is greater at the two-year as opposed to four-year state-supported
insti-tutions. Only in the ethnic category As ian or Pacific Islander is the participation
rate lo\'1er in the tv10-year sector.

Minor i ty Enrollment by Ins titution
Tabl es IV and V \vere created to di splay ethnic minority enrol l ments by ins t itution .
TableII/ demonstrates that among the public four-year institutions in fall 1973,
Adams State College and the Un i versity of Southern Colo rado had t he largest
pro-portions of minority enroll ment -- 33 .3 pe rcent and 28 . 2 percent,
respe~tively .A more deta il ed analysis prese nted i n Tabl e V reveals, for example, that the minority
enroll ment at Adams Sta te Coll ege increased from 1976 to 1978 in the Hispa nic ethn ic
category . Addi t ional ly, in 1976 there were no reported non -resident aliens, compared
to 22 re ported in 1978 . Overall , from 1976 to 1978, minorities as a pe rcent of total
enroll ment increased 4 percent at Adams State. As total enroll ment at Adams State
declined during the report period, the minoriti es as a percent of total enrol lment
_increased.
Si mil arly, from a review of two-y ear inst itutions, Tri nidad State Junio r College and
Community College of Denver-Aurari a Campus had the greatest proportion of minority
enroll ment i n fall 1978 (61.4 percent and 40.5 percent) . Trini dad ' s minority enro
ll-ment (Table V ) grew substantially from 1976 to 1978 from 20 . 5 percent of total
en-roll men t to 61 .4 percent . A si gn ifi can t amo un t of this i ncrease i s attribu ted by the
staff of that institution to t he establ ishment of thei r Min ing and So il Tec hno l ogy
programs which have drawn heav il y from the Hispanic minin g emp loyees .
Within the private sector, Colorado Women' s College l eads the other instituti ons with
14.1 percent minority enroll ment . \·lhile the minority enro llment at the University of
De nver is not as great a percent of the total enro llment as at CWC , it increased
from 5.1 percent of total enroll ment in 1976 to 12. 8 percent in 1978 . With in the
minority en rollment i n 1978 at the Univers ity of De nver, 490 non- res i dent ali ens were
reported as compared to 92 in 1976. American Indians doubled in numbe r at the
University of Denver from 1976 to 1978 from 39 to 79.
Characteristics of the Ethnic Minority Enro ll ment
A profile of the minori ty enroll ment in the public sector has been developed and i s
displayed in Fi gu re II to compare t he minority and no n-minority enrollments and to
reflect changes occurri ng from 1976 to 1978 within ethnic minority enrollment .
From 1976 to 1978, cl assificat ion or l evel of minority enrol l ment shifted slightly.
Total minority enroll ment in 1978 vias 89 pe rcent undergraduate, 10 . l percent graduate ,
and .9 percent first prof ess i onal. The total minority enrollment in 1978 included
a smaller proportion of undergraduates than in 1976, but showed an increase of 2
percent in the minority graduate studen t representat ion .
In 1978, f ewer minorities attended full -ti me ; were male; and were Hispanic and
black than i n 1976 . Fi gure II furt he r revea ls that while as a percent of tota l
minority enroll ment femal e students shO\·Jed only a 2. 3 i ncrease ; in actua l numbe rs,
minority fe male students increased by 996 , a 14.7 percent increase in headcount
over 1976 . The ethnic minority fema les, v1ho comprise 41 .5 percent of all minority
enro 11 men ts, are , hmvever, a 1 mos t 8 percent behind the female representation vJithi n
the no n-minority group.
