Expenditures • Changes in the IPEDS Finance report affect the growth in reported spending for almost all functions after FY08. • For this reason growth in Salaries and Benefits is a better measure of changes in spending.

Decline of Tenured/Tenure Track Faculty Reporting errors in HR System make the data presented in the IPEDS database not completely accurate. For certain years there were significant errors in the reporting for the Medical school, but there are also errors in reporting for other units. *Problem is an incongruence between titles and tenure status. Data presented in IPEDS was verified by Institutional Research as the data represented in the HR system.
Other Personnel Issues Original “Death by a Thousand Cuts” in report found an increase of 39 in the “Executive/Administrative/Managerial” classification between Fall 07 and Fall 12.
Other Personnel Issues There was a change in classification in Fall 12 that make the final data point possibly incomparable with the earlier ones. However, Larry Bunce’s analysis of the HR system data shows an increase of 42 from Fall 06 to Fall 11, which is very close to the original number reported.
Other Personnel Issues There are a large number of titles that fit under “Executive/Administrative/Managerial”on both the academic and non-academic sides (e.g., Chancellor, Vice Provosts, Deans, Assistant Deans, Directors, Assistant Directors, Police Chiefs, Coaches, Librarians, Managers, Project Administrators, Project Directors, etc.). More analysis will need to be done to determine where this growth has occurred. Likewise, any growth in overall employment under Chancellor’s or Provost’s office will need to be determined through additional research.
