Errata | Aug 08, 2016

In table 84, the Nebraska State College System and Peru State College were incorrectly listed within the University of Nebraska System instead of being listed as a separate system and member college. The table has been corrected, and the number under the U. Nebraska System has been corrected from 428,364 to 428,151.
