This seventh edition of the directory lists those cooperative arrangements in higher education which were reported by their chief administrative officers to satisfy five criteria. Each consortium is a voluntary formal organization with three or more member institutions; has multi-academic programs, is administered by at least one full-time professional; and has a required annual contribution or other tangible evidence of long-term commitment of member institutions. Two trends are identified: the movement to state regionalization where it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish between voluntary and statutory systems; and a broadening of the base of participation to include the full range of the postsecondary community and related community/regional agencies in cooperative arrangements. The directory includes background and program descriptions for each consortium. It is indexed as to academic, administrative, community, and student activities. (LBH)
