Staffing Efficiency - Goldwater Report August 2010 report ranked 196 universities based on the

percentage change (from 1993 to 2007) in the number of administrators per 100 FTE students

Using their methodology and adding some Indiana schools:

Rank* School Percent Change#28 BSU 10.1#62 PU-WL 30.2

#120 IU-B 55.7#123 ISU 60.4#136 USI 67.1#182 IUPUI 138.8

19* A rank of 196 means the largest increase


Staffing Efficiency - Chronicle Article April 2009 article in the Chronicle of Higher Education

highlighted a report on labor force trends in higher education – using their methodology:

Energy Cost Efficiency A 2009 Advisory Board Company report looked at energy cost per

square foot at public and private institutions of higher education:Average: $2.58Best-in-Class: $1.49 Ball State: $1.85 (32% below average)

Numerous energy efficiency measures are already in place – automatic temperature controls, lighting sensors, high efficiency lighting, computer energy savings, etc.

Our geothermal project and other new initiatives will continue to improve on these numbers
