CAMPUS PROFILE GLOSSARY
November 2008

1600 Headcount All Employees
The number of employees with a non-zero percent job active on October 15. 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 jobs in more than one of the categories below are counted in the category in which they hold the largest FTE. If an employee's FTE is 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 jobs held by that student.

Jobs are categorized into employee groups using the following rules, based on the employee's E-class and P-class on active jobs in Banner:

Academic Staff
All jobs where the job employee class starts with "A" or "B" or "P". There should not be any non-zero jobs in the "P" classes, but we have found some.

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

Tenure System Faculty
In Banner, persons (not jobs) have Tenured/Tenure Track status. However, only non-zero percent jobs are counted in each category by home department. A tenured faculty member who has a zero-percent appointment in a teaching department and a percent-time appointment such as director or department head in a non-teaching unit will be counted in whichever department is the person's home department. Thus, an administrator whose home department is different from the appointment department will be counted in the home department, not the appointment department. Includes regular, library, and cooperative extension faculty.

For Fall, 2006: we are reported all tenure-system faculty based on their tenure status on the PEAFACT form in Banner, plus all jobs where the first character of pclass is "A" (tenure-system faculty) and the third character of pclass is "A", "B' or "C" (rank of professor, associate professor, assistant professor), and no rank status modifier (e.g. "Visiting" or "Adjunct"), regardless of the tenure status found for the person.

Please note: a small number of persons (under 100) marked as tenured but not holding any ranked appointment (e.g. Deans) are included in Tenure System Faculty but not under any of the individual ranks.

The major ranks within Tenure System Faculty are:

Rank	Fall,2004 and beyond	Prior to Fall, 2004
Professors	Character 3 of P-class is A	The job rank code must be BB
Associate Professors	Character 3 of P-class is B	The job rank code must be BC
Assistant Professors	Character 3 of P-class is C	The job rank code must be BD

Note: The sum of the professorial ranks may be less than that reported for Tenure System Faculty due to tenured faculty holding percent-time appointments in p-classes other than those listed above.

Visiting Faculty
All persons with professorial rank (professor, associate professor, and assistant professor) with the status modifier "Visiting", "Adjunct", or "Visiting Adjunct" attached to their title.
Prior to Fall, 2004: All jobs with tenure code of T, N, or W and rank of DB, DC, DD (visiting professor, visiting associate professor, visiting assistant professor).
Regular, library, and cooperative extension faculty are included.

Postdoctoral Research Assoc

These employees should all be in E-classes starting with "A"; however, some are incorrectly coded in E-classes starting with "P" (postdoctoral fellows) instead. All jobs with a p-class starting with "B" and having a "K" or "U" in the third position.
Prior to Fall, 2004: All jobs with rank code of BG or DG. Note that postdoctoral fellows have FTE=0, so they are not counted here.

Other Instrctnl Staff
Other instructional staff. Includes titles such as lecturer, instructor, research, teaching, and clinical associate, visiting scholar, artist in residence with any rank or status modifier.
Prior to Fall, 2004: 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, aviation education specialists, assistant and associate heads and chairs, ranked faculty with tenure code=W or T.

Academic Professional
Jobs for academic employees in e-class A or B with p-classes greater than "E" who are not flagged as tenure-system.

All assistants
Non-zero percent time jobs with e-class starting with "G" and third character of the p-class is "S" (Graduate Appointment). Excludes undergraduate assistants, or trainees and interns with zero percent appointments.
Prior to Fall, 2004: Non-zero jobs for persons in employee group = G. Includes undergrad assistants, interns and residents with non-zero percent appointments. Teaching Assistants (TA), Research Assistants (RA), and Graduate Assistants (GA) are listed separately. Teaching Assistants include both regular TAs and Teaching Assistants Required; Graduate assistants include regular graduate assistants and pre-professional graduate assistants.

Civil Service staff
Jobs of persons with staff jobs. E-classes starting with C, D, or E with percent time greater than 0.

1700/1735 Headcount Women Employees
The number of women employees with a non-zero job active on October 15. 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.

1800/1875 Underrepresented Headcounts
The percent of headcount and headcount of employees who self-identify as a member of an underrepresented minority groups (Native American, African American, and Hispanic/Latino) racial/ethnic group. U.S. citizens and permanent residents only are counted in the numerator; all employees regardless of citizenship are counted in the denominator. 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 racial/ethnic groups are done in the same manner as described above for counts of all employees.

1590 MAJOR HONORS AND AWARDS
Source: annual list of national and international honors and awards to faculty and alumni compiled by the Office of Public Affairs. Retirees, emeritus/emerita faculty, persons who have left the campus, and deceased persons are excluded from the counts; only persons with a currently active appointment are included.

A person will be counted once for each year s/he was so honored/awarded. For example, a person who was an Olympic Athlete in 2000 and 2004 will be counted twice, once in each year, regardless of the number of medals received in each year.

Awards for a faculty or staff member are counted in each college where s/he has a current appointment (even if zero percent or unpaid). Duplicates caused by a person having an appointment in more than one college are removed at the campus level, so the sum of the college numbers will not equal the campus total. It is possible some duplicates might remain at the administrative rollup level. Awards continue to be counted each year while the faculty/staff member member remains on appointment until retirement.

1592 NATIONAL ACADEMY MEMBERS
The number of members in any of the national academies (National Academy of Engineering, National Academy of Science, and American Academy of Arts and Sciences). Each person is counted only once even if in more than one academy. Individuals with appointments in more than one college are counted in each college but only once in the campus total.
