29,1986  \nVo1。14,No。167  \n# ED PROJECTS MODEST DECLINE IN COLLEGE ENROLLMENT THIS FALL\n\nEnrollment in higher education institutions is expected to decline this fall,but the drop will not be dramatic,according to projections released today bythe Education Department.  \nIn its annual back-to-school forecast,ED projected a drop of less than 1 per-cent in public and private college enrollment,from about 12.25 million stu-dents in the fall of 1985 to an estimated 12.16 million this year.  \nAlthough the traditional college population of 18-24-year-olds will“continueto shrink\"throughout the next decade,\"trends over the past 10 years suggestthat any decline in college enrollment will be moderated by the increases inthe numbers of part-time and older students,\"ED said in a statement announcingthe projections.  \nPart-Timers Play Growing Role\"Part-time students are expected to con-tinue to be a major and a growing part”of the postsecondary school studentbody,said Emerson E1liott,director of ED's Center for Statistics.  \nED also projected that the number of full-and part-time faculty at public andprivate colleges this fall will total 690,000,about 4,000 fewer than lastyear.More than 3.2 million people are expected to be employed at public andprivate schools and colleges,ED said.  \nThe department said college and university spending should total $108.8 billionin 1986-87,up from $102.6 billion last school year.Public college and uni-versity expenditures would account for $70.7 billion of that amount,while pri-vately controlled institutions are expected to spend $38.1 billion,ED said.  \nPer Student Spending RisesED also projected that per-student spending atpublic higher education institutions will reach $10,462 this school year,upfrom $9,926 in 1985-86.  \nPer-student spending at private universities should reach $16,697,climbingfrom last year's figure of $15,753.In 1970-71 constant dollars,however,theincrease in per-student spending would amount to $35 at public universities and$86 at private ones.  \nTotal public and private school expenditures at all levels wil1 increase by$15.4 billion to reach $278.8 billion this school year,ED said,with elemen-tary and secondary schools accounting for about $170 billion of that amount.(more)  \nAugust 29,1986  \n# ED PROJECTS MODEST DECLINE IN COLLEGE ENROLLMENT THIS FALL(Cont.)\n\nUnlike elementary and secondary school enrollment,which dropped from 51.3 mi1-lion in 1970 to_45.1 million in 1985,ED's figures show that college enrollmentincreased by 3.7 million during that time.  \nED projected that total enrollment in the nation's schools and colleges willexceed 57.4 million this fall,up from 57.3million last year,with most of theincrease occurring in the 4-to 9-year-old age bracket.  \nThe increase presages a trend \"that will affect elementary and secondary schoolenrollments for a number of years,\"ED said.  \nThomas Snyder,an ED specialist in education statistics,attributed the in-crease in enrollment in the early grades to a rise in the birth rate thatbegan in 1977 and says it signals \"the beginning of a new trend of increasingenrollment\"in elementary and secondary school following a period of decline.  \n\n| Total Expenditure Per Student In Educational lnstitutions:
