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

[Anita Fraley]

Are we going to get any clarity on these questions that were asked last week?




Is there a definition for section V, Q16? I suspect "Institutional funds" means the College and Foundation scholarships as they are reported in the financial statements but I am not sure.


Are graduate students included in question/item 16 on Section V: Revenue, Financial Aid, and Related Indicators?  Or are undergraduates the focus?  My assumption is undergraduates because the tuition and required fees questions do not ask for graduate information, but I'd like to verify this before I compute my numbers.

We also would like to have clarification for the "number of scholarships"?  If one student received three types of "academic merit" scholarship, does that count as 1 or 3?

Item 17 - Academic equipment value, library acquisition expenditures, and academic space square footage - has reappeared on this year's template.  Was this by mistake?  I think we all agreed that this data was not very valuable and we ditched it last year.  I'm hoping we can just ignore it on this year's template.


Item 16.c., Financial Aid Budget From Institution's Own Funds:  "Budget" connotes a predetermined amount.  But financial aid is all about seeing what students' need is first, and then awarding grants and other aid.  Here at Eastern, there are no set amounts for in-state and for out-of-state students. Do we actually mean aid _awarded_ in this item, rather than 'budgeted' amounts?

Subject: COPLAC Annual Data Profile...

Hello all,

Please find attached a blank copy of the annual data profile for your institution.  It would be greatly appreciated if you would send your completed portion to me no later than May 18, 2012.  That will give me a couple of weeks to compile the report and submit to Bill Spellman by May 31st  to send off to be printed for his Board.  And if you would, please replace the word "blank" in the name of the file with your school's name; that would help greatly.

Sorry for any duplicate emails.  I am trying to make sure to reach every school.  If you have any questions, please let me know?

Lynn
