The purpose of this report is to discuss and compare two mathematical models for predicting student enrollments at the University of California. One has been proposed in the scientific literature and the second has been used by the state of California since 1963 to forecast student enrollments. The specific problems addressed in this report are…

In this study, the author attempts to identify feasible new appointment schedules for a large tenure and nontenure faculty group in which quota restrictions have been applied to the total number of faculty appointments. It is assumed that the system is in equilibrium in the sense that the flow rate of new appointments is equal to the sum of…

The authors develop a model of undergraduate student attendance that relies on five parameters, one of these being a parameter of total work, w, required to complete the degree. An enrollment forecasting method consistent with these attendance patterns is developed and compared with data for the period, 1961-1966, and a cohort of 2126 and 3298…
