This research was initiated to explore the effects of changing tuition rates on the open-door policy of U.S. community junior colleges. Tuition trends in the two-year colleges of 50 states were assessed using data gathered from the 1975 and 1980 editions of the AACJC Directory, 1980 Fact Book for Academic Administrators, and recently published journal articles. The relationship between tuition rates and enrollment levels in each state were analyzed. The analyses point to a trend of continuous increase in tuition rates for U.S. public two-year colleges since 1951. Even though the percentage of increase in tuition for recent years has been higher for two-year colleges than for four-year colleges, there remains a substantial difference between the average annual tuition of the two types of institutions. There appears to be a negative correlation between tuition and enrollment at two-year colleges for 1974-1975 (—.27) and for 1979-1980 (—.21). Based on these findings, it would appear that further increases in tuition might serve to close college doors for those not able to afford the rising costs of education. Suggestions are offered for internal and external actions to help maintain open access despite rising tuition costs. |
