摘要States play a critical role in the U.S. higher education system, both by providing funding to colleges and students and by regulating some aspects of the college admissions process. This paper summarizes existing research on a variety of state higher education policies, with a focus on the effect of such policies on students’ college enrollment choices, the quality of the colleges they attend, and their degree completion rates. We pay particular attention to the issue of the match between a student’s academic skills and chosen college, in part because state policies likely most affect under-served, under- resourced, and under-informed students who, as recent research shows, are more likely to undermatch than their more advantaged counterparts. We emphasize the importance of evaluating such policies not only on the basis of how they affect enrollment rates but also by the extent to which they connect students to colleges that give them the greatest chance completing their degrees. This paper addresses four broad types of state policies that influence students’ college enrollment and academic match. First, we examine in-kind spending, the subsidies that states provide to their public colleges. Second, we consider the financial aid, both need-based and merit-based, that states provide to their students. Third, we document evidence on state policies that make mandatory for public high school students the taking of college entrance exams, such as the ACT or SAT. Fourth and finally, we consider admission criteria imposed by states, including affirmative action regulations, plans such as the Texas Top 10 Percent Rule, and minimum test score thresholds needed for admissibility.
