Recommendations for appropriations to each public college and university in Alabama are presented by the Alabama Commission on Higher Education (ACHE) in its 1987-1988 unified budget report. For each institution and type of expenditure (e.g., academic, research, public service, and capital outlay), data are provided for: 1985-1986 appropriations, 1987-1988 requests, ACHE 1987-1988 needs, based on funding formulas, and the ACHE 1987-1988 recommended budgets. This information is also provided for other higher education program allocations, such as scholarship and grant programs and program evaluation activities of ACHE. Attention is directed to funding formulas for regular academic programs at public senior universities, public junior colleges, and technical colleges, as well as professional school programs (medical schools, dental schools, optometry schools, university hospitals, veterinary medicine colleges, and agricultural colleges and cooperative extension services). Appendices include data on: facilities renewal requirements; two-year college enrollments; and university headcount enrollments, credit hour production, remedial credit hours, utilities allowances, and sponsored research dollars.
