Level of ”Physical Risk QUANTITY” for the institution’s main campus as indicated by the World Resources Institute’s Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas:
Total water use (potable and non-potable combined):

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Total water use	---	33,967,908 Gallons

Potable water use:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
Potable water use	33,493,886.20 Gallons	33,967,908 Gallons

Start and end dates of the performance year and baseline year (or three-year periods):

	Start Date	End Date
Performance Year	June 9, 2014	June 9, 2015
Baseline Year	June 16, 2008	June 16, 2009

A brief description of when and why the water use baseline was adopted:
Figures needed to determine "Weighted Campus Users":

	Performance Year	Baseline Year

Number of employees resident on-site	5	6
Number of other individuals resident on-site and/or staffed hospital beds	0	0
Total full-time equivalent student enrollment	2,555	2,554
Full-time equivalent of employees (staff + faculty)	922	906
Full-time equivalent of students enrolled exclusively in distance education	0	0
Weighted campus users	3,158.50	3,111.50

Potable water use per weighted campus user:

	Performance Year	Baseline Year
