<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Hi all, and thanks Richard for
your comments.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>So those are my thoughts.
I’ll be glad to hear yours.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Tornados that hit Oklahoma last Tuesday. I am helping her with the Annual

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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
