Book excerpt: This report is the second in a series of analyses by the Southern Education Foundation (SEF) of minority opportunity in higher education in the South. In this report, the focus is on the status of blacks in higher education in the 19 states that at one time operated dual systems of public higher education. Data were collected for each state on indicators of access and success for public systems of higher education, with a focus on 4-year institutions. These indicators included, among others, population characteristics, family income, high school graduation, postsecondary enrollment, degrees, fields of study, and representation of faculty. Data collection was complemented by surveys and interviews with individuals knowledgeable about public higher education in each state. In these states, public higher education continues to be segregated in practice. The historically black institutions remain overwhelmingly black, and the traditionally white institutions remain the province of white students. While the number of black students entering higher education has grown since the 1970s, the percentage of blacks among freshmen is almost unchanged. Nine of the states reported that the proportion of blacks in their freshman classes actually declined between 1991 and 1996. The economic circumstances of black students in these states remain a barrier to many who want to pursue a higher education. In addition, these 19 states provide more financial aid without consideration of students' family income than do other states. The flow of black students entering higher education, relatively small to begin with, virtually dries up at the postgraduate level. In no state does the representation of blacks among doctoral degree or first professional degree earners reflect their representation in the population. Black faculty are also underrepresented in every state. In spite of the mandate of United States v. Fordice, the court decision that ordered states to desegregate their colleges, many states have failed to develop a comprehensive plan to cure inequity in higher education. Some suggestions are made for attaining educational equity in public higher education. Three appendixes contain information on developments affecting black students in these states, a summary of recommendations from the SEF report "Redeeming the American Promise," and state income data.

Book excerpt: In 2011, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley signed into law the South Carolina Higher Education Efficiency and Administrative Policies Act, maintaining the transparency and accountability that lead to increased academic quality and affordability at colleges and universities. It is in this context that ACTA (American Council of Trustees and Alumni) offers this review of public higher education. For years, colleges and universities had a simple solution to funding challenges: demand more state money and raise tuition. But increasingly, that approach is not possible. In the wake of stock market volatility and the crash of the housing market, there has been a growing concern that higher education is in a "bubble," with the cost of a four-year degree far outstripping the benefits of acquiring one. In an uncertain environment, it is imperative that state policymakers ensure that money spent on higher education--whether that money comes from students, parents, donors, or taxpayers--is being expended wisely so that students are graduating with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed. At the same time, it is imperative that policymakers have in place a statewide system that ensures quality and cost--with accountability to the taxpayers of the state. To ascertain how South Carolina higher education is doing in these key areas, the authors looked at eight campuses in the state's public university system: the University of South Carolina (USC) campuses at Columbia, Aiken, Beaufort, and Upstate (Spartanburg); Clemson University; South Carolina State University; Coastal Carolina University; and the College of Charleston. These institutions, taken together, represent not only the geographic breadth of the state but also educate the vast majority of undergraduate students who are enrolled at South Carolina's four-year institutions. First, the authors examined cost and effectiveness. The authors asked how much families are paying to attend schools, how the schools are spending that money, and what students are getting in return. And they found that this is an area of real concern. From 2005-06 to 2010-11, in-state tuition and fees at institutions in South Carolina increased between 18 and 36%. Meanwhile, at only three out of eight campuses did they find even two-thirds of the students receiving a degree within six years--suggesting that not only is tuition going up, but many students are paying well beyond the expected four years, and even beyond six years. Indeed, less than a quarter of students graduated within four years at a majority of the institutions studied. With prices rising, are students getting a quality education? In far too many places, the answer is no. The authors examined general education--those courses usually completed within the first two years of a bachelor's degree program to ensure a common intellectual background, as well as college-level skills critical to success in the workforce. Here they found that while over half of institutions require a majority of seven core curricular subjects, only three areas--composition, mathematics, and natural or physical science--are part of the core curricula of the majority of institutions. Only one school (College of Charleston) has an intermediate-level foreign language requirement, and only one requires students to take any coursework in economics (South Carolina State University). Fewer than half of the institutions reviewed require a survey course on U.S. government or history, a sad statistic in a state that has such a significant and illustrious history. Finally, the authors turn to South Carolina's higher education governance structure as seen through actions by the state's Commission on Higher Education ("Commission") and by institutional boards of trustees. These boards are responsible for the academic and financial well-being of the institutions they oversee and for safeguarding the public interest. Their examination of structure and outcomes, based on board minutes and other publicly available materials, suggests that South Carolina will never achieve an effective, coherent plan to meet the state's educational needs of the state until it overhauls the structure of its boards. Selection Criteria for Core Courses are appended. (Contains 63 endnotes.) [This paper was created with the South Carolina Policy Council.].
