Abstract | The study examined state policy influences on minority participation at higher education institutions with particular attention to South Carolina. Evidence for the study was derived from institutional survey data (142 institutions in 10 states); documents; on-site visits (South Carolina only); observations of interactions and operational procedures; and interviews with state policymakers, higher education officials, and institutional administrators. Analysis indicated the following: (1) strategic planning was evident in South Carolina educational institutions focusing on quality and equity improvement and coping with change; (2) strategies encouraging equity, access, and retention issues are implemented among the faculty and staff; (3) the most effective institutional initiatives in promoting minority student access and achievement were those using minority counselors and recruiters and those providing minority financial support; and (4) cutbacks in state funding are being acutely felt in equity programs. It is concluded that higher education planning in South Carolina makes good use of available resources to enable minority achievement to be consistent with strategic planning for overall quality in higher education.
