Due to federal and state legislation there has developed a situation of confusion regarding the establishment, maintenance, and supervision of postsecondary and adult vocational education, particularly where a division of higher education and a division of vocational education exist in a state. A study undertaken in New Jersey identified four problem areas related to this situation. They were exact counting of different persons who are enrolling in postsecondary and adult vocational programs; definition of a full time equivalent student (FTE); equating FTE for postsecondary and adult vocational education in secondary institutions and higher education institutions; and apportioning funds. Based on these problem areas, seven research questions were formulated. A descriptive research design was implemented to collect the data. Personnel involved with postsecondary and adult vocational education in the New Jersey Department of Education and the Office of Community Colleges and other agencies were first interviewed. Following a review of the literature and the development of a plan of action for the study, a national survey of all state directors was then conducted. Next, a number of vocational educators were interviewed and a questionnaire was mailed to a sample of institutions within the state. Also, telephone interviews were conducted with randomly selected institutions. The results were analyzed and reported for problems one, two, and three. It was concluded that problem four could not be worked on during this project due to limited time.
