The State College/University Sourcebook was conceived in 1991 by the staff of the New Jersey
Association of State Colleges and Universities (ASCU) as a resource for state‐level higher education
policymakers and policy analysts, as well as higher education news reporters.
The Sourcebook is a synthesis of readily available information and statistics providing an overview of
the state colleges and universities, with a sampling of information from each of the nine institutions. It is
not intended to be encyclopedic or exhaustive.
