EXTENDED CAMPUS PROFILE: GLOSSARY OF CENTRALLY- INDICATORS
July 1996
100-184 FACULTY AND STAFF
Source: October Payoasis File, extracted from Paymaster. All non-zero-percent appointments active on October 20
are selected. Full-time equivalent (FTE) staff is the sum of the percent time on each active appointment meeting the
rank/class code criteria for the employee group. FTE staff are accumulated by appointing department and are shown
for appointments on state funds (ledger 1) only and for all sources of funds.
Headcount figures count all employees with a non-zero appointment active on October 20. Headcounts are by the employee's home department, not appointing department. If an employee has several appointments and they fall into different employee groups, the rank/class code of the majority appointment is used to select where the employee is counted. If appointments are evenly split among two or more groups, the employee is assigned randomly to one of the groups. Appointments are categorized into employee groups using the following rules:
Tenure System Faculty
An appointment with a tenure code of A, 1-7, Q, or K is considered tenured. This includes department heads and chairs but excludes visitors and permanent faculty on leave without pay. Includes several administrators without faculty rank who were "grandfathered" in with tenure. Includes regular, library, and cooperative extension faculty. Subdivision of this group is accomplished by examining the appointment rank code:
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
Instructor: The appointment rank code must be BF
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)
Postdoctoral Research Assoc
All appointments with rank code of BG or DG.
Other Faculty--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.
Graduate assistants
Percent-time appointments for graduate employees (employee group = G). Includes interns and residents. These are subdivided by appointment rank/class code into Teaching Assistants (TA), Research Assistants (RA), and Graduate Assistants (GA).
Nonacad staff (Civil Service)
Appointments of persons with staff appointments (employee group=N).

284 % 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 200 divided by item 600 divided by the same ratio for the group.
286 % Group Acad FTE/% Group IU

288 Deflated state budget/IU
State budget (item 200) divided by the Consumer Price Index divided by the Total IUs (item 600). The resulting figure is in constant 1967 dollars per IU. The CPI used is the monthly, all items, urban consumers CPI, averaged for the months July-June of each fiscal year. CPI for current year is estimated.
290 State Exp $/student
Dollars spent from state accounts divided by the number of students enrolled in this unit. Equals (item 250 times item 252) divided by item 362.
IBHE COSTS
Source: The annual Discipline Cost Study submitted by the university to the Illinois Board of Higher Education. Based
on the Activity Effort Plans submitted 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 distributed to the
instruction, research, and public service costs by a formula.
Lines 300-310 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.
302 Cost/IUs: All courses taught in department
The state dollars per IU to teach all students taking classes in the unit.
304 Lower Div students (fr-soph)
The state dollars per IU to teach freshmen, sophomores, and non-degree students taking classes in the unit.

TEACHING ACTIVITY RATIOS

These are totaled for all sections taught by faculty offered by the unit for the year and divided by the FTE tenure-system faculty on state funds. Contact hours for sections which meet for less than 16 weeks (e.g. 8-week or summer courses) are reduced by multiplying the reported contact hours by a fraction equal to (number of weeks) divided by 16.
694 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.
