Abstract | Two questionnaires were developed, one on facilities and facilities-related data and another on instructional programs and instruction-related activities. They were sent to more than 100 schools, with useable returns received from only 26 proprietary schools. Other returns came from schools that were part of programs of public junior colleges or other nonproprietary institutions. It was found that many schools were suspicious about the purpose of the surveys and believed that information about their operations and students could intensify competition among the schools, many of which are fighting for survival. No optimum standards were used in this survey. This attempt was merely to locate available programs and provide a beginning for further data gathering and information activities. Since certain federal benefits for student aid are being provided to the states based upon enrollment ratios, including enrollment of the proprietary schools, the proprietary schools of the state should cooperate fully with the planning board in data gathering activities.
