Description

INTRODUCTION For many years, colleges have enjoyed a seller's market (Absher & Crawford, 1996). The baby boomers of the late 1940's through the early 1960's provided a large population from which to draw (Absher & Crawford, 1996). The shrinking supply of first-year college students, coupled with increased competition, led to a buyer's market in the 1990's (Lovelock & Weinberg, 1989). Since the 1990s, the situation has worsened. Addressing the University Board of Regents in August 2003 (Patton, 2003), outgoing University of Houston President Art Smith conceded, "There is a shift ongoing at this institution, in Texas, and across the nation concerning who pays for higher education. The move is away from taxpayers and state legislators to users."
