State colleges face 55k to 100k access gap by 1970
Dr. Eric A. Walker of Penn State told Gov Lawrence’s Education Committee that even doubling capacity at state run and aided colleges would still leave 55,000 to 100,000 Pennsylvania youths unable to enter college by 1970. Enrollment estimates range from 253,000 to 443,000, with projections showing steady growth of college attendance. The Department of Public Instruction expects more than 347,000 post high school students by 1969-70. With private institutions needing to expand, state supplied facilities must rise. 123 higher education institutions exist in Pennsylvania, 14 owned by the state, 15 state aided, including Penn State, Pitt, Temple. Half the college population attends the 29 institutions receiving state aid, 55 percent, close to the national 58 percent. Pennsylvania’s private-control system limits state reach compared to California’s fully state-supported model.
