In 1985 and 1986, surveys were conducted by the Research Committee of the Texas Association for Community Services and Continuing Education (TACSCE) in order to generate profiles of continuing education practitioners and programs by type of institution (i.e., private four-year colleges, public four-year colleges, and two-year colleges). During both studies, members of TACSCE and of Texas Administrators of Continuing Education and others not affiliated with these two organizations were surveyed. The 1985 study sought information on enrollments and on respondents' job title, primary area of responsibility, position classification (i.e., administrative or faculty), full-/part-time status, salary, level of responsibility, employees, pay for teaching non-credit, level of education, and time on the job. Responses from 154 of the 257 continuing education practitioners surveyed were used to generate profiles of continuing education administrators and their programs for each type of institution. In 1986, two survey instruments were administered to gather personal information on the continuing education administrator and additional program data on staffing, enrollments, number of courses and credit hours offered, contact hours, system for calculating continuing education units, and budgets. Usable responses were returned for 118 of the 242 personal data questionnaires distributed and for 55 of the 161 institutional questionnaires. A report detailing methods and findings is provided for each study. (PAA)
