[COPLAC-IR] NSSE COPLAC consortium

[Sarah Hardy]

Hi all,

The main value for UMF of the COPLAC NSSE consortium is being able to use
the COPLAC participating institutions as a comparison group. As far as I
know nothing was ever done with the additional questions. Since I have
never administered any of the NSSE surveys I don't know if being part of a
consortium means it is automatically one of your comparison groups, or if
the participating institutions still need to be chosen individually.
