Such as the above GHG data is for performance year 2010-2011 where the student data has to match. Other sections of this report use more recently available data. For example, a great deal of data is available here: http://www.usf.edu/pdfs/usf-facts-2013-14.pdf and similarly: http://www.usf.edu/pdfs/usf-facts-2012-13.pdf
