ABSTRACTComparative financial information derived from a national
sample of 427 two-year colleges is presented in this report for fiscal year1993-94, including data for the national sample and 6 groups of peerinstitutions. The first section provides introductory information on theannual study, reviewing the objectives of the study and potential uses offindings, while the second describes limitations of the study with respect todata extrapolation and institutional comparability and explains calculationsand definitions. The next sections provide a table of institutionalparticipation by state and region and guidelines for developing comparativeanalyses regarding institutional revenues, expenditures, staffing, outcomesratios, and student characteristics. The next two sections provide data onrevenues by source and expenditures by function for the national sample,multi-campus districts, and single-college districts by peer group,presenting tables for credit full-time equivalent (FTE) students and creditand noncredit FTE students. Staffing is then addressed, presenting data oncredit FTE students per FTE staff, unduplicated student headcount per FTEstaff, and FTE staff and part-time staff as a percentage of FTE staff. Next,selected ratios showing staffing patterns, service areas, appropriations,space and scholarships per student, and budgetary and physical plantinformation are provided. Finally, data are provided on studentcharacteristics for the national sample, multi-college districts, and thepeer groups. Appendixes provide additional information on methodology, thequestionnaire, a list of participating colleges/peer groups, and a user'ssurvey for rating the report. (BCY)
