Employee Data
Presentation for the Faculty Senate
Death by a Thousand Cuts Arguments
• The university is spending too much on “Institutional Support” and
not spending enough on Instruction, Research, and Public Service.
• The university is not supporting the hiring of Tenure and Tenure Track
Faculty
• Data taken from the IPEDS database (taken from AFT website)
• Great tool to look up data and make institution to institution comparisons
• However, you have to understand the various IPEDS surveys (e.g., what is
being reported, changes in reporting that take place, etc.) to correctly use the
data

AFT Data
• Data taken from http://highereddata.aft.org
• AFT is using the total expenses for each function (e.g., Instruction). This data
comes from the IPEDS Finance survey.
• AFT has calculated a student FTE by taking the total full-time enrollment and
adding it to one-third of the part time enrollment.
AFT Data
• Problems
• AFT is using the student FTE from the following fall term rather than the fall term related to
the academic year the expenditures are for.
• IPEDS Finance Survey changes
• In AY03 the functions (e.g., Institutional Support) on the IPEDS Finance survey did not include Operation
Maintenance of Plant, Depreciation, or Interest. These aspects were separated out as distinct functions.
• In AY08 and AY09 changes were made to the Finance survey, and since this time the Operation
Maintenance of Plant, Depreciation, and Interest have been divided among the different functions.
• Thus, a comparison of the Total Expenses for each function without taking these aspects out artificially
inflates the total for Academic Years 2009 and on.
• Each function includes three major aspects:
• Salaries and Wages
• Fringe Benefits
• All Other (ex. Supplies and equipment)
• Over half of the growth in the Institutional Support function is attributable to the “All Other”
area.
• Since the central argument appears to surround salaries and benefits, it makes sense to look at the
change in spending per FTE by function for Salaries and Benefits only.

Salaries and Benefits
• When you correct the data and look at Salaries and Benefits only, a
very different picture emerges.
• The change in spending per FTE for Institutional Support between AY-03 and
AY12 goes down to 27%.
• In comparison, the change in spending per FTE for Instruction between AY-03
and AY12 was 16%.
• Salaries and Benefits for Instruction grew $41,452,962 from AY03 to AY12.
• Salaries for Institutional Support, which includes important functions such as
Police, Human Resources, and IT, grew $7,682,337.
Percentage of Expenditures
• The percent of the Total Expenditures attributable to Institutional
Support has remained relatively flat for the past 10 years
• This is especially true when you focus on Salaries and Benefits only
• AY03 = 8.1%
• AY12 = 8.9%
• Similarly, the percent of the Total Expenditures attributable to
Instruction and to Academic Support have remained relatively flat for
the past 10 years
• This is especially true when you focus on Salaries and Benefits only
• AY03 = 56.8% and 8.0%, respectively
• AY12 = 57.0% and 9.8%, respectively

Employee Headcount Data
• Factors to consider:
• Graphs exclude years (Fall 2006, Fall 2008, and Fall 2010)
• Graphs include the Medical School (in IPEDS, the Medical School is reported
separately)
• Depending on the year reported, the Medical School numbers could include Resident
Physicians as Tenure/Tenure Track faculty
• It is important to note that Executive/Managerial positions include both
academic and non-academic positions

Hiring Trends
• Using EEO codes (as done for IPEDS)
• EEO Code 101 and 102 = Executive/Managerial
• EEO Code 201 = Tenure/Tenure Track Faculty
• Looking at Census dates
• New Hire = Someone who was here as of Census who wasn’t here in the
previous Census
• Lost = Someone who was no longer in the Census file that was in the previous
Census File
• Net gain or loss is the difference between the number of new hires and the
number of employees lost
