Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

Waiting on residential student numbers and employee numbers Performance year is 2017-2018. Data source for most inputs is UK Factbook (http://www.uky.edu/iraa/quick-facts). UK HR provided employee numbers. UK Distance Learning provided distance learning numbers. Residence Life and College of Agriculture provided on-site resident numbers and UK HealthCare provided the number of other individuals resident onsite (staffed beds). For Distance Education Students, the University of Kentucky tracks this area based on enrollments where one enrollment equals one student enrolled in a distance learning course. The average course credit for these courses is 3 hours and FTE at UK is 12 hours per semester. In the spring of Fall of 2017 there were 19483 enrollments in distance learning courses. We multiplied that number by 3 (credit hours) and divided this by 12 hours (FTE) to arrive at 4871 FTE Distance Education Students. This is a rough approximation, but it is the only quantifiable option possible with the available data. Also, there’s no way to guarantee that these students were exclusively enrolled in DL courses. There’s also no way to guarantee that each enrollment is a unique student as the same student could, of course, be enrolled in multiple Distance Learning courses.
