Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Prior to 2008 IPEDS, for both Professional Staff and Service/Support Staff FTE calculations, the Office of Human Resources reported as full-time any employee working a .75 -.99 position equivalent due to their qualifying for full employee benefits. Beginning with 2008 IPEDS, in an effort to align our reporting with IPEDS requirements, only persons working a 1.00 position equivalent were counted as full-time. Consequently, the total number of full-time persons used for both the salaried and hourly FTE calculations decreased, while the total number of part-time persons increased. As the FTE calculations (above) all use the formula, FTE = full-time + (1/3)part-time, the change noted greatly impacted the FTE calculation. This change in reporting puts us at a slight disadvantage when comparing baseline to performance years for baselines that were set prior to 2007. Our baselines in 2004 and 2007 were 559 and 568, respectively, compared to 475 in 2016.
