Abstract	Results of research and evaluation carried out by the To Educate the People Consortium are reported. (The purpose of the consortium is to create a national network of humanities-based adult-oriented college programs offering an interdisciplinary curriculum leading to an associate or baccalaureate degree for blue-collar and low-status white collar workers.) Following an overview of the consortium, chapter 2 reports on the Outside Evaluation Committee that provides individual programs and the consortium with an on-going critique based on field experiences and observations. Chapter 3 presents results of a series of studies using student surveys to gather information on reasons for enrolling, tuition financing, socioeconomic characteristics, and career expectations. In chapter 4 the curriculum plans of the operational programs are provided. Results from a survey of faculty attitudes are also presented. Separate sections are devoted to telecourses, skill development efforts, and planned consequences of these humanities-based curricula. Chapter 5 reports on the status of the outreach effort. Chapter 6 presents selected results from research projects in progress and suggests trends in the research and evaluation efforts of the consortium. Chapter 7 offers concluding remarks. (YLB)
