Detailed data collected on the utilization of residence hall facilities during the fall of 1987 (for the 14th annual survey) are provided. Also included are summary data for fall 1978 through fall 1987. All state-operated/funded institutions which have residence hall facilities are included in the study. The methodology used in the study was developed to be consistent with the University Guidelines for Utilization of Residence Hall Facilities and the State University of New York Policies and Procedures manual. A general policy change occurred in university management of residence halls between 1985 and 1986, with one manifestation being the restructuring of dormitory fiscal operations into a Dormitory Income Fund Reimbursable structure. Seven tables of data for the fall of 1987 include utilization of original design capacity of residence hall facilities, utilization by institution within institution type, student occupancy of net revenue producing adjusted design capacity, revenue-producing other utilization and percent of revenue generated, and resident assistant bed rental waivers in residence hall facilities. Six tables on trends for fall 1978 through fall 1987 include total utilization of net revenue producing adjusted design capacity, trends in percent utilization for each institution, non-revenue assignments in residence hall facilities, and number of students per resident assistant. Definitions are provided for terms used in the study. A Central Staff Office of Institutional Research publications list is included. (SM)
