The next two sections provide data onrevenues by source and expenditures by function for the national sample,multi-campus districts, and single-college districts by peer group,presenting tables for credit full-time equivalent (FTE) students and creditand noncredit FTE students. Staffing is then addressed, presenting data oncredit FTE students per FTE staff, unduplicated student headcount per FTEstaff, and FTE staff and part-time staff as a percentage of FTE staff. Next,selected ratios showing staffing patterns, service areas, appropriations,space and scholarships per student, and budgetary and physical plantinformation are provided.
