1000-1890 FACULTY AND STAFF
Source: October Paymaster file frozen one day after the October payroll calculation. All non-zero-percent appointments active on October 20 are selected.

1010 Full-time equivalent (FTE) staff
The sum of the percent times on each active appointment. FTE staff are accumulated by appointing department and are shown for appointments on state funds (Banner Fund Type 1, UFAS ledger 1) only and for all sources of funds.

1600 Headcount
The number of employees with a non-zero appointment active on October 20. Headcounts are by the employee's home department, not appointing department, and may vary significantly from the FTE by appointing department for that reason. Employees with appointments in more than one of the categories below are counted in the category in which they hold the largest percent appointment. If appointments are evenly split among two or more categories, the employee is assigned randomly to one of the groups.

Because of the very large number of graduate assistants with more than one type of assistantship in more than one department, headcounts of graduate assistants are not broken out by type of assistantship. It is also important to note that the home department of graduate assistants tends to be the first department that ever hired the student and may have no relation to the current appointments held by that student. Appointments are categorized into employee groups using the following rules:

Academic Staff
All appointments of persons in employee group A. Equals the sum of Tenure System Faculty, Visiting Faculty, Postdoctoral Research Associates, Other Faculty, and Academic Professionals.

Academic Staff =
Tenure System Faculty + Visiting Faculty + Postdoc Res Assoc + Other Faculty + Acad Professionals

Tenure System Faculty
An appointment with a tenure code of A, 1-7, Q, or K is considered tenured or on tenure-track. This includes department heads and chairs but excludes visitors and permanent faculty on leave without pay. Includes instructors and several administrators who were "grandfathered" in with tenure. Includes regular, library, and cooperative extension faculty. In addition to the "grandfathered" administrators, the major subdivisions of Tenure System Faculty include the following titles and rank codes:

Professors: The appointment rank code must be BB
Associate Professors: The appointment rank code must be BC
Assistant Professors: The appointment rank code must be BD

Note: The sum of the professorial ranks may be less than that reported for Tenure System Faculty due to including "grandfathered" persons.

Visiting Faculty
All appointments with tenure code of T, N, or W and rank of BB, BC, BD (visiting professor, visiting associate professor, visiting assistant professor). Regular, library, and cooperative extension faculty are included.

Postdoctoral Research Assoc
All appointments with rank code of BG or DG.

Other Instructional Staff

All other persons in employee group A with a rank code beginning with R. Includes lecturers, instructors, research and teaching associates, visiting scholars, artists in residence, assistant and associate heads and chairs, ranked faculty with tenure code=W or T.

Academic Professional
All other appointments for academic employees (employee group=A) not counted above.

All assistants
Non-zero appointments for persons in employee group = G. Includes undergrad assistants, interns and residents. Teaching Assistants (TA), Research Assistants (RA), and Graduate Assistants (GA) are listed separately.

Civil Service staff
Appointments of persons with staff appointments (employee group=N).

1860-1890 Headcount: Women
The number of women employees with a non-zero appointment active on October 20. Headcounts are by the employee's home department, not appointing department, and may vary significantly from the FTE by appointing department for that reason. All counts based on gender are done in the same manner as described above for counts of all employees.

2700-2760 RESEARCH ACTIVITY

2720 Principal Investigators
Source: Office of Grants & Contracts file of principal investigators. Only three may be listed for each grant, so this may undercount the number of faculty involved. Faculty members listed on more than one grant are counted for each grant. Grants are counted for the duration of the grant and the principal investigators are counted in their home department, not in the department sponsoring the grant application.

2740 % faculty headcount

2760 Grant & Contract Exp/Fac FTE
Expenditures in the fiscal year from grant & contract funds divided by the tenure-system faculty FTE on all funds. Because some faculty participate in grants that are attributed to a research center or institute, this may underestimate the actual grant and contract expenditures per faculty member.

2800-2900 BUDGET RATIOS

2820 % Group Budget/% Group Acad FTE
State budget as a percent of group state budget divided by FTE academic staff on state funds as a percent of group FTE academic staff. Equals item 2000 divided by item 1020, divided by the same ratio for the group.

2840 % Group budget/% Group IU
State budget as a percent of group state budget divided by Total IUs as a percent of group Total IUs. Equals item 2000 divided by item 6140 divided by the same ratio for the group.

3000-3119 IBHE COSTS
Source: The annual Discipline Cost Study submitted by the university to the Illinois Board of Higher Education. Based on the activities reported by departments, payments made to employees, and instructor course assignments, the Cost Study calculates the direct salary dollars spent by each department on instruction, research, and public service. Instructional costs are subdivided into costs by student level, and the cost per IU at each level is calculated. Overhead costs at the department, school, college, and campus are calculated and added to the instruction, research, and public service direct salary costs by a formula.

Lines 3000-3100 show the cost per IU by student level. The costs shown include the department state dollars spent on instruction and the department's share of the college and school overheads; campus overheads are not included. The dollar value of teaching subsidies (when a faculty member teaches a course for another department) is included with the costs of the department which received credit for the IUs. Dollars are not adjusted for inflation. The IUs included are all IUs in courses offered by the department, including all extramural and correspondence IUs, regardless of whether the teaching was on-load or off-load. Non-state-funded IUs are excluded. Costs per IU may fluctuate significantly when a department has very few students in a given class (lower division, upper division, grad I, or grad II) because the costs depend on the mix of courses taken by the students. For example, grad II students from another department may enroll in a 100-level course.

3020 Cost/IUs: All courses taught in department
The state dollars per IU to teach all students taking classes in the unit. Line 3119/Line 3114.

3040 Lower Div students (fr-soph)
The state dollars per IU to teach freshmen, sophomores, and non-degree students taking classes in the unit. Line 3115/Line 3110.

3060 Upper Div students (junior-senior)
The state dollars per IU to teach juniors, seniors, and second-degree students taking classes in the unit. Line 3116/Line 3111.

3080 Grad I students (& professional)
The state dollars per IU to teach all graduate I (master's level) and professional students taking classes in the unit. Includes graduate non-degree students. Line 3117/Line 3112.

3100 Grad II students

3200-3320 FACULTY STATE-FUNDED ACTIVITY
Source: Activities reported for tenure-system faculty submitted by appointing departments.

3210 Annualized Faculty State FTE
An annualized FTE is one 11-month, 100% appointment. Appointments which are shorter (e.g. 9-month) or for less than 100% time are reduced proportionately.

Prior to FY98, a 9-month faculty appointment was equal to 9/11 annualized FTE. From FY98 on, a 9-month faculty appointment is counted as 9/12 annualized FTE.

3220,3280 % Instruction
Percent of annualized faculty state FTE in contact with students in courses taught on and off campus, coordination and supervision of courses, preparation for teaching, acquiring and preparing instructional media, grading papers, academic advising, and course and curriculum development.

It does not include disability leave, vacation, or sick leave.

3400-3500 SPACE ALLOCATION
Source: Archibus/FM, a Computer Aided Facility Management System from the Office of Facility Management and Scheduling (FMS). Total square footage is updated periodically in Archibus/FM, and extracted yearly in October for the Campus Profile. The information is based on standards published in the Postsecondary Education Facilities Inventory and Classification Manual issued by the U.S Department of Education Office of Educational Research and Improvement.

http://www.fms.uiuc.edu/About%20FMS/SpaceAssg&Inv.htm

Net Assignable Square Footage (NASF) is determined by drawing a line around the interior walls of a particular room or space such as classroom, office, lab or work rooms and then assigning the resulting square footage to a department. NASF is maintained at the room level by department.

Note: The total NASF shown here may differ from that reported last year for several reasons. Some of the differences are due to the fact that more buildings have been added to Archibus/FM and in the process, room measurements are converted to AutoCAD. However, the primary reason is that the process of extracting data from Archibus was changed from last year's method; now codes that are nationally recognized for classifying facilities are used.

3410 Total Net Assignable Sq Ft
Total "net assignable square feet" of space under the control of this unit.

3430 Class NASF: Classroom Facilities, Room Use Codes: 100s
This category aggregates classroom facilities as an institution-wide resource, even though these areas may fall under different levels of organizational control. The term "classroom" includes not only general purpose classrooms, but also lecture halls, recitation rooms, seminar rooms, and other rooms used primarily for scheduled non-laboratory instruction. This area may contain various types of instructional aids or equipment as long as these do not tie the room to instruction in a specific subject or discipline.

3450 Teaching Lab NASF: Class Laboratory, Room Use Codes: 210-215
A room used primarily for formally or regularly scheduled classes that require special purpose equipment or a specific room configuration for student participation, experimentation, observations, or practice in an academic discipline. May also represent rooms that directly serve one or more class laboratories as an extension of the activities in those rooms.

3470 Open Lab NASF
A laboratory used primarily for individual or group instruction that is informally scheduled, unscheduled, or open. To specify, a laboratory designed for or furnished with equipment that serves the needs of a particular discipline or discipline group for individual or group instruction where 1) use of the room is not formally or regularly scheduled, or 2) access is limited to specific groups of students. May also include rooms that directly serve one or more open laboratories as an extension of the activities in those rooms.

3490 Research Lab NASF: Research Laboratory, Room Use Codes: 250-255
A room used primarily for laboratory experimentation, research or training in research methods; or professional research and observation; or structured creative activity within a specific program; or support rooms for these functions.

3510 Office NASF: Office Faciliteis, Room Use Codes: 300-400
Office facilities are individual, multi-person, or workstation space specifically assigned to academic, administrative, and service functions of a college or university.

3520 Study: Study Facilities, Room Use Codes: 400-500
Study space is classified into five categories: study room, stack, open-stack study room, processing room, and study service. Primarily rooms used for library activities.

3530 Special NASF: Special Use Facilities: 500-600
This category includes several room use categories that are sufficiently specialized in their primary activity or function to merit a unique room code. Areas and rooms for military training, athletic activity, media production, clinical activities (outside of separately organized healthcare facilities), demonstration, agricultural field activities, and animal and plant shelters are included here.

3540 General NASF: General Use Facilities, Room Use Codes: 600-700
General use facilities are characterized by a broader availability to faculty, students, staff, or the public than are Special Use Facilities, which are typically limited to a small group or special population. General use facilities comprise a campus general service or functional support system (assembly, exhibition, dining, relaxation, merchandising, recreation, general meetings, day care) for the institutional and participant community populations.

3550 Support NASF: Support Facilities, Room Use Codes: 700-800
Support facilities, which provide centralized space for various auxiliary support systems and services of a campus, help keep all institutional programs and activities operational. While not as directly accessible to institutional and community members as general use facilities, these areas provide a continuous, indirect support system to faculty, staff, students, and the public. Included are centralized areas for computer-based data processing and telecommunications, shop services, general storage and supply, vehicle storage, central services, and hazardous material areas.

3560 Health & Residential NASF : Health Care & Residential Facilities: 800-999
Health Care Facilities: Room use classifications for patient care rooms that are located in separately organized health care facilities: student infirmaries, teaching hospitals and clinics, and veterinary and medical schools. Room codes and definitions apply to both human and animal healthcare areas.
Residential Facilities: Housing for students, faculty, staff, and visitors to the institution. Hotel or motel and other guest facilities are included in this series if they are owned or controlled by the institution and used for purposes associated with defined institutional missions.

5100-6480 INSTRUCTIONAL UNITS
Source: DMI Course Reporting System.
One instructional unit (IU) equals one undergraduate credit hour or 1/4 of a graduate unit. IUs are determined by the student registrations on the tenth day of class. Effective Fall, 1997, IUs for classes meeting during the second eight weeks of the fall or spring term are counted on the tenth day after midterm.

Instructional units can be counted by the unit offering the course or by the unit paying the instructor. Both ways of counting IUs are used in the Campus Profile because there are valid uses for each.

Generally, IUs by offering department are useful for looking at courses in a discipline (e.g. all Math courses). The breadth of courses offered, the course formats, the use of faculty v. TAs: these are all areas of inquiry where we are interested in counting IUs by "offering" department.

On the other hand, whenever we want to use IUs as a measure of productivity, comparing IUs to budget or staffing levels, it is important to count the IUs by the department which paid the instructor. The IUs used in the Budget Reform formulae are all IUs by paying department for this reason.

5100-5840 INSTRUCTIONAL UNITS OFFERED

5200-5280 Total Instructional Units

5900-6480 IUS BY UNIT PAYING THE INSTRUCTOR

These lines provide details on the IUs funded by this unit. For budget purposes or for various performance ratios, these numbers are the ones to use.

5900-5960 IU SUBSIDIES

When a course is cross-listed, any of the crosslisting units can be designated as the "offering" unit, and, generally, departments designate the unit supplying the instructor as the "offering" unit. However, if a course is not crosslisted with the instructor's paying department, the paying department may not be designated as the "offering" department. This is considered a subsidy. For units above the department level, the subsidies contain inter-college subsidies.

Courses which are taught by instructors who are not paid for teaching ("courtesy" instructors) are attributed to the department offering the course.

5920 IUs offered by this unit but instructor paid elsewhere
IUs from sections offered by this unit which were taught by an instructor paid by another unit. This includes all Extramural and Guided Individual Study (correspondence) IUs that were off-load (paid by Continuing Education).

6190 Paid IUs/Fac Instructnl FTE
Total IUs supported by this unit's budget divided by faculty instructional FTE on state funds. Instructional FTE for faculty is determined by the percent of each faculty member's time devoted to instructional activities, as reported on the Activity Effort Plan submitted by the department.

6200-6444 Who is Teaching
(% and number of total IUs by offering unit)

The IUs offered by this unit were subdivided by the type of instructor. When a section has multiple instructors, the IUs for that section are divided among instructors. Through 1994-95, the IUs were divided evenly among instructors. From 1995-96 on, the IUs were divided among the instructors for a section using a percent supplied by each department. The breakdown by instructor type is given for the total IUs offered by the unit, and for each class level (100-400). Note: these definitions were changed between the production of the 1998-99 Profile and the 1999-2000 Profile. Percent and number of IUs offered are provided by course level and by type of instructor as follows:

Faculty
Anyone who was paid on any tenured or a tenure-track appointment (tenure code= A, 1-7, or Q) during the year or who held a paid, non-tenured endowed professorship. Includes professors, associate professors, and assistant professors.

Visiting faculty
Anyone not included in the faculty group with the rank/class of professor, associate professor, or assistant professor, including any combination of title modifiers of visiting, adjunct, clinical, research, military, library, or cooperative extension.

Grad asst

6900-6960 TEACHING ACTIVITY RATIOS

6920 Contact hrs/wk/term/fac FTE
The number hours per week a tenure-system faculty member is in face-to-face contact with students each term. Includes contact in organized classes and independent study sections from fall, spring, summer 1 & summer 2 on- campus classes. Contact hours for sections which meet for less than 16 weeks (e.g. 8-week or summer courses) or for sections which meet concurrently are reduced proportionately.

6940 Organized sections/term/fac FTE
The number of class sections taught per term by tenure-system faculty in the fall and spring terms divided by the FTE tenure-system faculty in this unit. When more than one instructor is assigned to a single class, each instructor is credited with a fraction of the section equal to one divided by the number of instructors. Sections with more than one instructor may be double- counted if both instructors requested evaluations, sometimes resulting in a percent greater than 100%.

6960 Indiv inst stdnts/year/fac FTE

Appendix A.
Consumer Price Indices

A Consumer Price Index is the ratio of the cost of a basket of goods in the current year divided by the cost of the same basket in a base year. If the CPI is 2.0, for example, it means that prices are double those in the base year. It is used most often to convert dollar amounts from different years to numbers which can be compared directly. The CPI used in the Campus Profile is the CPI (urban, all items) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics based on 1982-84 prices, averaged for the months July-June of each fiscal year.

Prior to November, 1997, the CPI used in the Campus Profile was based on 1967 prices. We decided to switch to the 1982-84 base because the Federal government switched a few years ago and it has been increasingly difficult to find the CPI stated relative to 1967.

Below is a table showing the CPI using both bases for the fiscal years FY70-FY04. CPI for current fiscal year is estimated.

Changes


Changes from the November, 2002 Profile
November 2003

Changes due to conversion to Banner

In order to match the new Banner Organizational Code Hierarchy, Campus Profile is now using the Banner organizational codes instead of the legacy College-department codes.

Note: If you have a direct link to a department or college page, you will need to change your link to use the new coding system.

The codes are as follows:
1-3Campus + Administrative Rollup
5-6College
8-10Sub-college
12-14Department

Organizational changes

The State Surveys have been added to the Profile. While technically not part of the Urbana campus, the surveys do have graduate assistants and expenditures that are included in the campus organizational hierarchy. In order to match any rollup reports produced from Banner, we have decided to include the surveys from now on.

The VC Administratation and Human Resources organization was eliminated and its units reorganized. A new administrative rollup, Facilities and Services, was created. The disposition of the units formerly under the VCAHR is as follows:

Appendix D.
Group

The expression "Group" is used frequently throughout the Glossary and the Campus Profile. Each unit belongs to a group of units which report to the same administrator. For example, departments in a college form a group (the college) which is run by a dean. The "% Group" lines in the Campus Profile for a department will show the department as a percent of the college.

The group to which each unit belongs is indicated in the header for each page.

Each group has a summary page in the Campus Profile. To see the group total page, click on the group name in the header of the unit Profile page.
