The University has not conducted a recent survey on how many overall faculty members partake in research. The total number of faculty members engaged in research that we used is the total number of faculty on campus. While we do not expect that every faculty member on campus is partaking in research, this number was used in order to not portray an over estimated, inaccurate picture of our faculty engaged in research. After a survey is completed, we expect this score to rise significantly.
