I think this topic is interesting though the article could be improved. After complaining that there's no data on non-credit course statistics, he references a report entitled Noncredit Enrollment and Related Activities (61 page PDF), which describes enrollments, staffing levels, and programs. That said, to be fair, the reporting is quite uneven - Cornell, for example, reports offered 4.3 million contact hours in noncredit courses in 2012-13, but zero non-credit instructor hours. My complaint about the article is that it appears interested only in non-credit offerings from U.S. colleges and universities. But the vast bulk (I would say) of non-credit instruction is likely happening outside the college and university sector (and statistics on this are most likely not being reported on at all).
