Presented at 1999 MidAIR Fall Conference
Since the Higher Education Act was amended in 1992, the number and amount of loans to students has increased dramatically, sparkling concern among students, parents, higher education leaders, and policymakers nationwide. It is important to assess at the institutional level how much students are borrowing and how much debt they are accumulating. This study reports student loan debt among undergraduates at a large public university system, including the characteristics of those who borrow and the magnitude of indebteness as expressed by salary required to repay the amount borrowed.

As the University embarked on the task of reengineering its adminstrative systems,it was imperative to have a tool that would help define the questions and set the foundations for process reengineering within the context of a complex, multi-campus university system. Drawing from the work of Dougherty, Kidwell, and Hubbard, the University, working with Coopers and Lybrand Higher Education Consulting, developed a Work Distribution Survey as one means of gathering the needed data.

Faced with the realization that dated processes and technology were adversely affecting "customer service" and administrative efficiency, the University of Missouri wanted to take advantage of contemporary "best practices" and technology. To help support the case that although current processes seemed to be working but were in need of being overhauled, the University of Missouri and Coopers & Lybrand Consulting together developed the Work Distribution Survey. The results of the survey have been invaluable for measuring the magnitude and costs of the University's administrative processes and for developing new perspectives of administrative efficiency.

The likely effects of educational fee policies on undergraduate enrollment and fee revenue are explored by examining two methods of charging educational fees: a plateau or flat-fee system and a linear system. Two very different campuses of a university system have been chosen to demonstrate these effects. The results indicate distinct differences in enrollment behavior between the two methods and also between the effects experienced at two campuses serving distinctly different student bodies.

Can consideration of factors associated with racial disadvantage yield freshman classes that are also racially diverse? This paper reviews relevant legislative and judicial actions, reports findings of bias in admission measures, examines the extent to which economic conditions function as barriers to attendance in Missouri, and describes the impact of admissions models that attempt to overcome economic and social barriers.
