A basic objective of this study has been to look beyond statistical details of state aid programs to broader questions concerning the limitations, strategies, and impact of such programs in restoring a more effective role to private colleges and universities in the total national enterprise of higher education. Chapter 2 and Appendix A comprise the most comprehensive effort to evaluate constitutional limitations that can directly or indirectly affect the viability of state aid legislation in each of the fifty states, Chapter 3 through 5 illustrates both legislative intent and flexibility of approach, and Chapter 6 provides selective illustrations of overall enrollment trends, program growth and financial stimulus resulting from state aid legislation.
