Data Sources and Notes

Academic Departments/Divisions

If a department appears in Badger Data & Analytics Platform table ACADEMIC_DEPARTMENT and the DEPARTMENT_STATUS = 'A', the department is considered academic. A division that contains an academic department is considered academic.

Department and Division Names

For academic departments and divisions: Badger Data & Analytics Platform table ACADEMIC_DEPARTMENT for the most recent fall term when the data were pulled.

For non-academic departments and divisions: InfoAccess table UA_UDDS_NAME as of when the data were pulled.

Budget

Source: InfoAccess table UA_BDGTSUM_HIST, where DATA_LEVEL = '3'
 

Credit Allocation

Sources: InfoAccess tables CFI_CREDIT_ALLOCATION and ACADEMIC_SUBJECT
 

Degrees/Awards

Sources: InfoAccess tables RETENTION_AWARDS_MAIN, RETENTION_AWARDS_PLAN, RETENTION_AWARDS_SUBPLAN, ACAD_STRUCTURE_PLAN star, FROZEN_ACAD_PLAN_ATTRIBUTES, FROZEN_SUBPLAN_ATTRIBUTES

Notes about specific metrics:

Degrees: [Total/Award Level] HC are counts of majors associated with awarded degrees. A student who received a degree for study in more than one major is counted once for each major. Also, a student who received more than one degree is counted once for each degree. Accordingly, counts at the department level should not be rolled up to the division level.

Degrees: Undergraduate FTE for a department or division is equal to the sum of, for each degree awarded by the department or division, 1 / [the number of majors associated with the degree]. At the institution level, this equals the number of undergraduate degrees awarded.

If any of the student's awarded subplans for the term/student/plan are service-based, the student is counted in the service-based metric and not in the not service-based metric.
 

Enrollments

Sources: InfoAccess tables FROZEN_ENROLLMENT_DEMO, FROZEN_ENROLLMENT_PLAN, FROZEN_ENROLLMENT_SUBPLAN, FROZEN_ACAD_PLAN_ATTRIBUTES, FROZEN_ACAD_SUBPLAN_ATTRIBUTES
 

Counts are as of the tenth day of class for each fall term.

Faculty Roster

Source: EPM table PS_UW_HR_OCTJOB_VW

Faculty tenure FTE: FTE of tenured/tenure-track faculty commitments within a department. Takes into consideration both a faculty member's employment FTE and the number of departments where tenure is held.

Faculty with tenure appointments in multiple departments have tenure FTE split among those departments. For example, if a faculty member is full-time (1.0 FTE) and holds equal tenured/tenure-track commitment in Chemistry and Biochemistry, their tenure FTE would be represented as 0.5 FTE in Chemistry and 0.5 FTE in Biochemistry.

Age calculations consider age as of July 1 in a given year.

Payroll
