[COPLAC-IR] COPLAC Annual Data Profile...

[Sarah Hardy]

I have never been through this process before so this idea may be coming
completely.
 out of left field. Could we build a COPLAC comparator group in IPEDS and
pull everything they have and export it to a spreadsheet and then see what
measures that are important to the liberal arts mission that are not
available in IPEDS? One advantage is that the data would be in a format
which would make it easy to analyze directly. I have already built this
group once and pulled some data, but I'm not sure if I saved it. I could
work on this, but not until June because I will be gone the entire month of
May ( Doug will be doing our survey again this year).

On a related note -- is anyone else using R for analysis? And if so would
you be interested in sharing scripts?
