"Quick Facts About Independent Colleges and Universities"
Date:
August 5, 1999
The attached document, "Quick Facts About Independent Colleges and Universities," will soon
be posted to the Newsroom section of the NAICU Web site. As you'll see, it's largely a
repackaging of information already found in the National Profile and other NAICU publications.
"Quick Facts"--and the rest of the Newsroom section--is designed primarily for journalists,
though other Web site visitors--campus officials, parents, students, etc.--are also expected to use
it.
Please review the document, and return your comments to me as soon as possible.

Note: The statistics provided in this overview are the most recent available as of August 1999.
History
Independent colleges and universities--also known as private colleges and universities--
are older than our nation itself. The first American independent institution--Harvard
University--was founded in 1636. For more than three centuries, independent colleges
and universities have prepared students for full lives, productive careers, and citizenship
in a pluralistic society.
Definition
Independent colleges and universities are free of direct state or federal government
control. Independent institutions are each governed by a board of trustees made up of
community and business leaders, alumni, faculty, students, and other private citizens.
The board of an independent college is the institution's legal owner and final authority.
It sets the institution's mission and purpose, appointing and monitoring the progress of
the president or chancellor, guiding strategic planning, and ensuring strong management.
The independence of private colleges and universities allows them to adapt quickly to
ever-evolving student needs, technological advancements, and social trends.
Independence gives each private institution the opportunity to develop a distinctive
nature, allowing them collectively to provide students with a full range of educational
experiences from which to choose.

NATIONAL POLL SHOWS AMERICANS STRONGLY SUPPORT
FEDERAL AID TO COLLEGE STUDENTS
Washington, DC (June 21, 1999) - Americans overwhelmingly support federal
spending to help students go to college-that, according to the results of a national public
opinion survey released today by the Student Aid Alliance, a coalition of 58
organizations representing colleges, universities, and students. Among the findings in the
survey, respondents not only expressed strong support for increased funding for federal
student aid programs, they ranked such funding alongside Social Security and health care
as top national priorities.
The survey also shows that, by vast majorities, members of the public believe that "without
financial aid, most low- and middle-income families cannot afford to send children to college" (90
percent "strongly" or "somewhat agreed") and that, "by providing financial aid for people who
want to go to college, the federal government is investing in America's future" (91 percent
"strongly" or "somewhat agreed"). A majority (56 percent) feel the federal government currently
spends "too little" of its budget on grants to help those families pay for college.
The poll findings are particularly timely as Congress turns its attention to appropriations
matters. The Senate Labor, Health and Human Services, Education Appropriations Subcommittee
is expected to write its FY 2000 bill very soon. The Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions
Committee plans to markup shortly S.Con.Res.28, a resolution calling for an increase of $400 in the
maximum Pell Grant award and significant increases in campus-based aid programs. The House
approved a similar resolution, H.Con.Res.88, on May 4, 1999.

Alliance poll - 2
Among the poll's other findings:
Eighty-seven percent of respondents said it was "very important" or "somewhat important"
to increase financial aid for college students. The funding priority given student aid was
almost identical to that for Social Security (90 percent) and health care (89 percent).
A full 90 percent of respondents agreed that "making more financial aid available will make
college more accessible to many low- and middle-income families" and 89 percent agreed
that "when students meet all the academic requirements for college admission, they should be
able to get financial aid from the government when they need it."
The survey also found that 61 percent of the public would be "much more likely" or
"somewhat more likely" to "vote for a candidate for Congress who worked to increase
financial aid for low- and middle-income families with children in college."
"Funding for Title IV student financial aid programs, particularly the grant programs, has
lagged behind inflation and student need for two decades," said David L. Warren, president of the
National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities and co-chair of the Student Aid
Alliance. "That means students' federal grants and loans are worth less today than in 1980. In
constant dollars the Pell Grant has declined 14 percent and campus-based aid has declined 35
percent between 1980-81 and 1998-99. Congress and the President have increased funding for
some key programs in the last four years, but they need to do more."
The Alliance is calling on Congress to increase the maximum Pell Grant award by $400
to $3,525; raise by $50 million to $75 million funds for the Leveraging Educational Assistance
Partnership program (formerly the State Student Incentive Grant program); and increase funding
for campus-based aid programs such as Perkins Loans and Supplemental Educational
Opportunity Grants. (See attached Alliance funding proposal.)
Last month, the House and Senate Appropriations committees voted to slash $10.7 billion
from the House Labor-HHS-Education appropriations bill and $8.3 billion from the Senate
Labor-HHS-Education bill, cuts of 12 and 9.4 percent, respectively. Both plans would almost
surely necessitate cuts or freezes for most student aid and higher education programs.

These reductions are the direct result of spending caps contained in the 1997 Balanced Budget
Act, which were imposed in an effort to eliminate deficit spending. At the time the measure was
approved, however, lawmakers did not expect the federal government to experience dramatic
budget surpluses as early as the year 2000. Now that such surpluses are expected in the coming
fiscal year and in subsequent years, leaders in Congress from both parties are calling for the caps
to be raised, a position endorsed by the higher education community.
American Council on Education President and Co-Chair of the Student Aid Alliance
Stanley O. Ikenberry commended selected members of Congress for their leadership and support
of student aid funding. In recent letters sent to Senators James Jeffords (R-VT) and Edward
Kennedy (D-MA) regarding the introduction of S.Con.Res.28, Ikenberry thanked the Senators
and their colleagues Senators Dodd (D-CT), Collins (R-ME), and Reed (D-RI), "for their efforts
to make federal funding for student aid a priority for fiscal year 2000 appropriations." In letters
to Representatives Goodling (R-PA), McKeon (R-CA), Clay (D-MO), and Kildee (D-MI),
Ikenberry noted that H.Con.Res.88 "underscores the point that the Pell Grant is the federal
government's most important program for helping financially needy families finance
postsecondary education. It also makes clear that campus-based aid programs complement the
Pell Grant program to provide students with the resources to finance a postsecondary education."
The Alliance survey was conducted by KRC Research & Consulting, Inc., a national
polling firm based in New York City. The student aid questions were included in an omnibus
survey that included extensive interviews with 1,022 American adults during the month of May
1999. The margin of error for responses is plus or minus 3.1 percent.
The Alliance has established a website, www.StudentAidAlliance.org. which contains
sample letters to members of Congress that urge increases in federal student aid funding. In
addition, the Alliance hotline, 1-800-574-4243, will help Americans contact their U.S.
representatives to express their views on current proposals to fund student aid programs.

Last year, Congress reaffirmed its support of existing student aid programs through the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act.
This year, the Student Aid Alliance urges Congress to fund proven student aid programs at higher levels so that they more effectively
serve needy students. Together, these programs help students achieve their higher education goals without excessive debt.
The maximum Pell Grant should be Increased by $400, to $3,525.
Pell Grants are the cornerstone of federal need-based student aid. Without them, millions of the neediest students would not go to
college. Nearly four million students received Pell Grants in 1998-99. Their average family income was about $14,500. But the
maximum award is worth just 86 percent of its 1980 value in constant dollars.
Supplemental Grant funding should be Increased by $65 million, to $684 million.
The Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) program helps bridge the gap between the authorized maximum Pell Grant
($4,500) and the appropriated level ($3,125). Colleges and universities match one-third of the federal SEOG funds-a cost-effective
way to help students.
Funding for Perkins Loans should be Increased by $35 million, to $135 million.
The Perkins program provides low-interest loans to needy students, keeping them in school and out of costly alternative loan
programs. Institutions augment the federal contribution with a one-third match. Perkins loan forgiveness options have helped recruit
thousands of law enforcement officers, teachers, and nurses. The Perkins federal capital contribution is now worth just 22 percent
of its 1980 value in constant dollars.
Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnerships should be Increased by $50 million, to $75 million.
The Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnerships (formerly SSIG) program encourages states to expand their own need-based
grant programs by requiring them to make a dollar-for-dollar match. And if the federal appropriation for LEAP exceeds $30 million,
the state must match each dollar two to one. States use these funds to support increased grant aid, transition to college programs,
early intervention, merit scholarships for needy students, community service, and scholarship programs in specialized academic areas.
Federal Work-Study should be Increased by $64 million, to $934 million.
Each year, the Federal Work-Study program helps 700,000 needy students earn the money to pay for college, through jobs on campus,
in the community, and in the private sector. More than half of the recipients come from families with incomes less than $30,000. This
self-help program encourages students to take responsibility, build solid work habits, and make contacts-skills that are crucial to their
future employment. Institutions match federal funds by at least one-third, and often more.
TRIO should be Increased by $70 million, to $670 million.
The TRIO programs are designed to help low-income and first-generation college students enter college, graduate, and get good jobs.
Two-thirds of the students come from families with incomes of less than $24,000 where neither parent graduated from college.
Graduate programs should be increased by $25 million, to $56 million.
Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need awards funds through a competitive program to help academic departments prepare
graduate students for teaching and research. The Javits Fellowship is the only federal program that gives portable financial aid to
graduate students in the arts, humanities, and social sciences.

Last year, Congress reaffirmed its support of existing student aid programs through the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act.
This year, the Student Aid Alliance urges Congress to fund proven student aid programs at higher levels so that they more effectively
serve needy students. Together, these programs help students achieve their higher education goals without excessive debt.
The maximum Pell Grant should be increased by $400, to $3,525.
Pell Grants are the cornerstone of federal need-based student aid. Without them. millions of the neediest students would not go to
college. Nearly four million students received Pell Grants in 1998-99. Their average family income was about $14,500. But the
maximum award is worth just 86 percent of its 1980 value in constant dollars.
Supplemental Grant funding should be increased by $65 million, to $684 million.
The Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) program helps bridge the gap between the authorized maximum Pell Grant
($4,500) and the appropriated level ($3,125). Colleges and universities match one-third of the federal SEOG funds-a cost-effective
way to help students.
Funding for Perkins Loans should be increased by $35 million, to $135 million.
The Perkins program provides low-interest loans to needy students, keeping them in school and out of costly alternative loan
programs. Institutions augment the federal contribution with a one-third match. Perkins loan forgiveness options have helped recruit
thousands of law enforcement officers, teachers, and nurses. The Perkins federal capital contribution is now worth just 22 percent
of its 1980 value in constant dollars.
Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnerships should be increased by $50 million, to $75 million.
The Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnerships (formerly SSIG) program encourages states to expand their own need-based
grant programs by requiring them to make a dollar-for-dollar match. And if the federal appropriation for LEAP exceeds $30 million,
the state must match each dollar two to one. States use these funds to support increased grant aid, transition to college programs,
early intervention, merit scholarships for needy students, community service, and scholarship programs in specialized academic areas.
Federal Work-Study should be increased by $64 million, to $934 million.
Each year, the Federal Work-Study program helps 700,000 needy students earn the money to pay for college, through jobs on campus,
in the community. and in the private sector. More than half of the recipients come from families with incomes less than $30,000. This
self-help program encourages students to take responsibility, build solid work habits, and make contacts-skills that are crucial to their
future employment. Institutions match federal funds by at least one-third, and often more.
TRIO should be increased by $70 million, to $670 million.
The TRIO programs are designed to help low-income and first-generation college students enter college, graduate, and get good jobs.
Two-thirds of the students come from families with incomes of less than $24,000 where neither parent graduated from college.
Graduate programs should be increased by $25 million, to $56 million.
Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need awards funds through a competitive program to help academic departments prepare
graduate students for teaching and research. The Javits Fellowship is the only federal program that gives portable financial aid to
graduate students in the arts, humanities, and social sciences.
