Minorities in Higher Education: The Changing North
Judith Kleinfield, Lee Gorsuch, and Jim Kerr
This report examines the educational status of ethnic and racial minorities in Alaska and draws attention to the ways demographic changes in Alaska may affect these groups. The Alaska Native population, as opposed to other ethnic minorities, is the focal point of this study. This is the largest minority group in the state and the one experiencing the greatest economic and social difficulties. This group has been growing in absolute size but not as a proportion of the general state population. A decline in world oil prices has caused the state to be less able to support the expensive delivery system developed during the 1970s to provide access to higher education in the remote villages where the majority of Alaska Native live. Information in this report comes primarily from the 1980 census of higher education collected by the Office of Civil Rights and the National Center for Educational Statistics. The information is organized into ten tabular presentations with accompanying explanations. This report contains 12 references.(All)

Alaska Statewide and Regional Economic and Demographic Systems: Effects of OCS Exploration and Development, 1986
Matthew D. Berman, Steve Colt, and Teresa Hull
This report contains projections and analyses of economic and demographic effects of petroleum exploration and development that may occur in Alaska under the proposed Five-Year program, 1987-1991, for leasing the federal Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). Econometric modeling techniques are used to develop projections for the state of Alaska and the state's Southcentral Region. The projected cumulative effects of the Five-Year Program include an increase of approximately 3 percent in population and employment for both the state and for the Southcentral region. The statewide effects grow during construction of facilities for OCS development and remain relatively constant as petroleum development moves into the operations phase in the late 1990s. Economic activity related to expanded OCS development yields modest new revenues for the state, by the new revenues are not sufficient to offset new demands on public services created by the influx of new residents. The effects grow more slowly in the Southcentral Region, continuing to increase until 2010 to reach or exceed the same percentage increases in population and employment as observed for the state as a whole. The effect of the Five-Year program on Southcentral Region population and employment occurs later than for the state as a whole due to the lags in the multiplier process producing these largely indirect effects.
