This national survey of developmental education dealt with the following issues: reason for DE enrollment levels; strategies to reduce need for DE; institutional type to provide DE; financial responsibility for DE; factors that make DE more effective; and suggested DE research topics. The report concludes with a state by state analysis of DE by identifying the following features: annual cost, enrollment percentage, state laws and policies or proposed changes, and restrictions on provision of DE.
