Professional Documents
Culture Documents
PROFILES, an informational factbook about the University of Denver - its faculty, programs,
students, facilities, and finances - has been published every year since 1981.
Profiles began as a collaborative effort between the Offices of the Vice Chancellor for Business and
Financial Affairs and the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. It now originates in the Office of
the Provost, but it relies on the cooperation and support of offices across the campus for its success.
PROFILES 2007-08 contains the following sections: General University, Admission & Financial
Aid, Enrollment, Courses & Credit Hours, Degrees, Faculty & Staff, and Financial Data. A brief
narrative at the beginning of each section describes the section's contents.
We strive for 100% accuracy because PROFILES is an official record of the University's activities
and serves as the source of data for external reporting as well as internal documentation and
planning. Occasionally we become aware of an error or ways to improve the integrity of previous
years' data. Each new edition of PROFILES reflects any changes we may have made during the
year; therefore, you should refer to the most recent edition not only for current but also for historical
information. If you find any apparent discrepancies in this edition, please let us know, and we will
gladly investigate and/or explain.
PROFILES is prepared by the Office of Institutional Research. My thanks to all of you on campus
who shared the task of gathering and providing the data which served as the foundation for this
document. Your efforts ensure that PROFILES keeps getting better each year.
We hope that you will use PROFILES often and that you will continue to give us your comments
and suggestions for its improvement.

*Non-need-based aid used to meet need is counted in this category. For example- a needy student earns a Chancellor's scholarship
based on his/her Admission Rating. This merit scholarship is used to meet his/her financial need, and therefore is counted as a need-
based award. If the student did not have financial need, the scholarship would be counted in the non-need-based column.

Effective 2004, the Conflict Resolution program moved from International Studies to Centers & Institutes. Data for prior years have NOT been restated.
Effective Fall 2005, the Library and Information Science program in the Education moved from non-traditional to traditional. Data for prior years have NOT been
restated.
Fall 2007 - The University of Denver High School has been phased out.
Fall 2007 - All students registered in the Joint DU/Iliff PhD program, even if taking courses only at Iliff, now appear in the headcount numbers.

While pursuing a comprehensive liberal arts background in the Core Curriculum, Undergraduate Studies students also begin
substantive work in their major area of interest. Once students have declared a major, they are counted in the division where
that major resides. Undergraduate Studies students who have not yet declared a major and non-degree students enrolled in
traditional undergraduate courses are counted as Other Undergraduate Studies Students in census enrollment reports.
Undergraduate students who have interdivisional majors are counted in their primary unit rather than in the category of
Interdivisional Majors.

Persistence is defined as each one-year change in enrolled plus graduated students as a percentage of the original entering class.
Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) reporting is done on first-time first-year (full-time) students based on
end-of-term census counts. Analyses of student persistence rates prepared by the Office of Institutional Research are based on all
first-year students including part-time students at the week three census.
Entering student cohorts for Fall 2001(-2) have been reduced because of IPEDS Allowable Exclusions. Per IPEDS definitions;
students may be removed from a cohort if they left the institution for one of the following reasons: died or were totally and
permanently disabled; to serve in the armed forces; to serve with a foreign aid service of the federal government, such as the Peace
Corps; or to serve on official church missions.

AAUP population above, this brings the 2007-08 total number of appointed full-time faculty to 600.

The Continuing Faculty population includes (for any given year) only those faculty members who were also here the previous
year. This excludes new hires and those who left at the end of the previous year. Where a faculty member received a promotion
in rank, he/she is reported under the former rank with the appropriate salary adjustment, so that the increases reflect the impact of
promotions.
The All Appointed Faculty population includes new hires who are not eligible for salary increases. The number of faculty per
rank varies from year to year due to incoming and departing faculty, as well as changes in rank and tenure. This gives rise to
differences between the averages of All Faculty vs. Continuing Individuals.
12 month salaries are converted to 9 month based on a conversion factor of 81.8%, as per AAUP instructions.
Prior to Fall 2003, faculty who had appointments in the Clinical series were counted within the category of Lecturer. Effective Fall 2003, those
faculty are counted according to their Clinical rank within the Professorial series ranks of Professor, Associate, or Assistant.

1. The Student Full-Time Equivalent equals full-time students plus part-time students equated to full-time. The
divisor of credit hours used to equate part-time students to full-time is 12 for undergraduate and 9 for graduate
and first-professional students.
2. The University assigns the following values in calculating the Faculty Full-Time Equivalent:
a. Full-Time Appointed Faculty = 1; AAUP data as of November 1st
b. Part-Time Appointed Faculty = 1/2;
c. Administrators with Faculty Rank, Adjunct and other Non-Appointed Part-Time Faculty = 1/4
d. Effective Fall 2003, the Graduate Teaching Assistants FTE is an actual calculated FTE provided by
Graduate Studies Office. For Fall 2003 that number was 87. For Fall 2004 that number was 90. For Fall
2005 that number was 106. For Fall 2006 that number is 79. For Fall 2007 that number is 69.
3. The Student/Faculty Ratio is determined by dividing the Student FTE by the Faculty FTE.
4. The students and faculty in pre-collegiate programs (English Language Center and the University Based Schools)
and the non-teaching faculty in Penrose Library are excluded.
Ratio of full-time equivalent students (full-time plus 1/3 part time) to full-time equivalent instructional faculty (full time
plus 1/3 part time). In the ratio calculations, faculty and students in stand-alone graduate or professional programs such
as medicine, law, veterinary, dentistry, social work, business, or public health in which faculty teach virtually only
graduate-level students are excluded. Undergraduate or graduate student teaching assistants are not counted as faculty.
INSTRUCTIONAL FACULTY
The following definition of full-time instructional faculty is used by the American Association of University Professors
(AAUP) in its annual Faculty Compensation Survey (the part time definitions are not used by AAUP). Instructional
Faculty is defined as those members of the instructional-research staff whose major regular assignment is instruction,
including those with released time for research. Use the chart below to determine inclusions and exclusions:
Full-time Part-time
• Instructional faculty in preclinical and clinical medicine, faculty who Exclude Include only if they teach
are not paid (e.g., those who donate their services or are in the one or more non-clinical
military), or research-only faculty, post-doctoral fellows, or pre- credit courses
doctoral fellows
• Administrative officers with titles such as dean of students, librarian, Exclude Include if they teach one
registrar, coach, and the like, even though they may devote part of or more non-clinical
their time to classroom instruction and may have faculty status credit courses
• Other administrators/staff who teach one or more non-clinical credit Exclude Include
courses even though they do not have faculty status
• Undergraduate or graduate students who assist in the instruction of Exclude Exclude
courses, but have titles such as teaching assistant, teaching fellow,
and the like
• Faculty on sabbatical or leave with pay Include Exclude
• Faculty on leave without pay Exclude Exclude
• Replacement faculty for faculty on sabbatical leave or leave with pay Exclude Include
Full-time instructional faculty: faculty employed on a full-time basis for instruction (including those with released time
for research)
Part-time instructional faculty: Adjuncts and other instructors being paid solely for part-time classroom instruction.
Also includes full-time faculty teaching less than two semesters, three quarters, two trimesters, or two four-month
sessions. Employees who are not considered full-time instructional faculty but who teach one or more non-clinical credit
courses may be counted as part-time faculty.
Minority faculty: includes faculty who designate themselves as black, non-Hispanic; American Indian or Alaska Native;
Asian or Pacific Islander; or Hispanic.
Doctorate: includes such degrees as Doctor of Education, Doctor of Juridical Science, Doctor of Public Health, and
Doctor of Philosophy degree in any field such as agronomy, food technology, education, engineering, public
administration, ophthalmology, or radiology.
First-professional: includes the fields of dentistry (DDS or DMD), medicine (MD), optometry (OD), osteopathic
medicine (DO), pharmacy (DPharm or BPharm), podiatric medicine (DPM), veterinary medicine (DVM), chiropractic
(DC or DCM), law (JD) and theological professions (MDiv, MHL).
Terminal degree: the highest degree in a field: example, M. Arch (architecture) and MFA (master of fine arts).
Faculty count numbers typically circulated by the University conform to the reporting guidelines specified by the American
Association of University Professors (AAUP). AAUP guidelines include only filled full-time positions held by teaching
faculty who do not hold administrative appointments above the level of department chair. The committed position numbers
differ from AAUP numbers by the inclusion of appointed faculty who are less than full time, positions held by people on leave
without pay, vacant positions, tenure relinquishment and other special agreements, non-teaching faculty (Penrose librarians),
pre-collegiate program teachers (English Language Center) and administrators with faculty rank. Committed positions are
stated as full-time equivalents (FTE). For example, a teaching faculty member with an ongoing half-time appointment is
counted as .5 FTE. A tenured administrator is shown as 1 FTE, even though he/she may be teaching less than half time or not
at all. Regardless, the individual's claim is to a full position. In summary, the committed positions represent all outstanding
faculty and faculty position commitments.
Non-Tenure-Track positions, filled or vacant, are positions that do not carry a tenurable status.
