While enrollment in Washington's 27 community colleges has risen from 74,363 in 1967 to nearly 160,000 in 1976, and full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollment has grown 113 percent to 90,000, legislative funding of the community college system has not kept pace with increases in enrollment. In 1969-70, the community colleges received $1,093 in state and local funds for each FTE. Adjusting for inflation and the recent 75 percent enrollment increase in more expensive vocational programs, $1,686 per FTE was required in 1976, while only $1,356 was received. Further, Washington's funding level per student was $209 below the average of 14 other states. Three charts illustrating community college enrollment and funding problems in Washington are appended.
