<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: #1f497d">Hi all, and thanks Richard for your comments.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: #1f497d"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: #1f497d">I want to express my strong agreement with best wishes to Lynn Boyce and also with the opportunity to do some “QC” (or “QA”) on the report before it is finalized.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: #1f497d"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: #1f497d">But I do want us to consider keeping the current practice of having the academic data tied to the time frame of the most recently completed fiscal year. You may not currently be doing analyses that bring together your academic and financial information, but now might be a good time to begin. A prominent new member of our state DHE came from the IR world and strongly urged us to start looking at costs per FTE. I responded by doing just that, and I used COPLAC for comparisons. I found some interesting things about Eastern spending that no one has ever discussed.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: #1f497d"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: #1f497d">The spreadsheet version of the COPLAC report saves a ton of time if you want to do that type of analysis, because the two alternatives have drawbacks. One alternative is to use the IPEDS data center. I find that to be more difficult & time-consuming, although maybe I’m just not that skilled of a user. But you also have to be careful about dodgy IPEDS Finance report figures. Another option is to use the Delta Cost project. That is somewhat time-consuming but moreover the latest data are a couple years old. It does have some major advantages that I won’t delve into here.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: #1f497d"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: #1f497d">So those are my thoughts. I’ll be glad to hear yours.</span></p>

I am helping her with the Annual Data, and we are still missing some schools. Following are a list of colleges and universities that have not sent their information; Evergreen State College, Keene State College, Mass. College of Liberal Arts, Ramapo College of NJ, Southern Oregon Univ., SUNY College of Geneseo, Univ. of Mary Washington, and Univ. of Virginia College at Wise. We are past the deadline and need your information ASAP. I am still waiting on a call to see if we can get an extension. </span></p>
