CAMPUS PROFILE Proposed Items for Next Version
November 2002

While we have added some new items to the Campus Profile this year (most notably headcounts by women), there are still items that we would like to include that are not yet available on the administrative computer system. Below are the items next on our list. We welcome your suggestions for other items that might be of general interest.

GMAT, VAT, and LSAT scores for incoming students
These scores are not stored in the Graduate Student Admissions system but reside in college-level systems. We would like to publish these scores for the units requiring them for admission.

Budget Allocation under Budget Reform
We would like to split the state & ICR budget for a unit into its components under Budget Reform -- amounts earned from various sources, the portion of the budget that is campus allocation, and the overhead charges for administrative units. When these figures are ready, we will publish them.

Note that much of the data used to calculate the "earned" portion of a college's budget is in the Campus Profile; in particular, all the tuition and IU data by term should allow users to replicate those calculations. The calculations of administrative overheads are complex, and the details can be obtained from Business Affair's web site

Discovery and Composition 2 Sections
These are two more types of sections which we consider "Special Effort Sections", like the honors sections in line 666. Unfortunately, they cannot be detected in the system at this time. When special flags are added to the Timetable to distinguish these sections, we will begin counting them. We also are beginning to look at ways to quantify some of the new modes of instruction such as distance or asynchronous learning.
