public colleges and universities
dropped one per cent between
fall 1975 and fall 1976, but the
region’s private institutions
gained two per
students;

for the lion’s share of regional
enrollment — about 85 per cent;
—Enrollment of women in the
South increased dramatically by
4.5 per cent between fall 1975 and

fall 1976, while male enrollment
dropped by 4.8 per cent; women
now account for over 47 per cent
of all Southern collegiate
enrollment, compared to 40 per
cent in 1966;
—Due to the largest-ever high
school graduating class, first
time college enrollment in fall
1976 grew substantially, with
increases of seven per cent in
Southern public instiutions and
more than 15 per cent in the
South’s private sector;
—The greatest enrollment
decline came in the South's
public two-year colleges, which
were down nearly three per cent
from 1975 with 24,000 fewer
students enrolled.
Much the same pattern was
reflected nationally, according
to the NCES data, which show
11,106,000 students enrolled
nationwide in fall 1976, a decline
of 79,000 from fall 1975. In the 14
SREB states, total enrollment
was 2,828,000 in (all 1976, which
is 18,000 less than in fall 1975.
