Since 1980 tuition fees at American colleges have increased dramatically, particularly among private not-for-profit four-year colleges. This paper contributes to explaining the behavior of tuition fees at these institutions with an original matching model of the market for higher education

Research findings on the black student and on predominantly Negro institutions of higher education in. the US have clarified 2 sets of facts: (1) less than 67 of all students currently enrolled in US Colleges are black, whereas almost 127 of the US college-age population are black, and (2) more

We assess the likelihood that earnings premiums influence college students ' behavior as human capital theory suggests. We highlight several key observable patterns of earnings by age, sex, and for numerous college majors in recent decades, and propose a model of heterogeneous human capital

The internationalization of higher education institutions is complex and constantly mutating. Research on its many components is essential, but the questions to be asked and the range of issues to be covered may be new to some institutional researchers. The internationalization process includes strategic planning; recruitment, admissions, and support of international students; study abroad and student exchanges; curricular initiatives; the role of faculty; research and research centers on campus; international collaboration; overseas campuses and dual degrees; and organizational support and funding. Questions researchers may ask and data sources they may use as they meet new institutional needs are discussed. FOCUS AND CHOICE OF DEFINITIONS In the last decade, international education in the United States has expanded dramatically offering extraordinary new opportunities for students and faculty. For institutional researchers, the bad news is that international education in the 21st century is diverse, complex, rapidly expanding, and constantly mutating. The good news is that IR staff are not the only ones collecting data on events and trends in the field. Throughout this article, the authors will reference sources and data to help orient IR practitioners to the issues, key questions, and tools so that they can avoid re-inventing the wheel. To begin, although “international education ” is used as a catch-all title, in actuality, six different

Evaluations of the toxic potential of drugs and chemicals often involve statistical com-parisons of effects between treatment groups. Such comparisons are valid and permit elucidation of spontaneous versus treatment effects only if ' the sampling population is obtained without selection bias. Selection bias is routinely minimized or controlled by ran-dom sampling or unbiased allocation of animals to treatment groups. A systematic ap-proach using a computerized procedure is described that fulfills these requirements in a simple and efficient fashion.

Subchronic and chronic toxicities of 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT) were evaluated in CD-I @ mice. 2,4-DNT was more toxic to males than to females. Male mice fed 47 mg/kg per day or 137 mg/kg per day for 13 weeks gained less weight. However, females fed 52 or 147 mg/kg per day had no adverse effects. Feeding of 413 mg/kg per day for males or 468 mg/kg per day for females lowered feed consumption, depressed body weight, and caused mild anemia and mild hepatocellular dysplasia in both sexes and mild testicular degenera-tion in males. Both males and females were fed an average of 14 (low dose), 95 (middle dose), or 898 mg/kg per day (high dose) for up to 24 months. In males, there was a high incidence of epithelial renal tumor and hepatocellular dysplasia in all dose groups, Inci-dence of testicular atrophy was increased in the middle- and high-dose males. In addition, the high dose caused toxic anemia and death. In females, the high dose was associated with toxic anemia, hepatocellular dysplasia, nonfunctional follicle with a lack of corpora lutea, an effect analogous to the testiclar atrophy in males, and death. A generalized pig-mentation, probably of 2,4-DNT metabolite origin, was seen in many tissues of especially the high-dose males and females.
