Transcript What is the “Delaware Study”?

The “Delaware Study”
Full Name: The University of Delaware National
Study of Instructional Costs and Productivity
Initiated in 1992 by researchers
at the University of Delaware
Purpose of the “Delaware Study”
Provide a set of
National Standardized Academic Benchmarks
for academic management & research
Focused on Instructional Outputs,
not to be confused with
The Delaware “Out-of-Classroom Activity” Study
a separate study by the University of Delaware.
How is the Study Conducted?

Invitation to U.S. public and private
universities and colleges
Participating institutions complete a
‘Data Collection Form’ giving
course, faculty, and cost/expenditure data


Data analyzed by the University of Delaware;
results sent to institutions.
Who Participates?
In 2005-06

Over 200 participating institutions


from 39 states
including 47 Research Institutions
What are
the “National Standardized Benchmarks”?
Measures of:

PRODUCTIVITY:
Faculty teaching workloads  credit hours / full-time equated
faculty (FTEF)

COST OF INSTRUCTION:
$ (direct instructional cost) / credit hour

SCHOLARLY ACTIVITY:
$ (separately budgeted scholarly activity)
by Academic Discipline
What are the “Academic Disciplines”?
The U.S. Department of Education provides a
“Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP),”
a listing of different academic programs

Wayne State utilizes approximately 80 of
these Academic Disciplines in classifying its
Course Subject Offerings.
What Does
the “Data Collection Form”
Look Like?
A. INSTRUCTIONAL COURSELOAD: FALL SEMESTER, 2003

3 Important Caveats
in Using the Study
Caveat #1
The Relationship between Course
Subject and Academic Discipline


There is NOT a 1:1 relationship between
Academic Department and Academic
Discipline. The relationship is 1:Many.

Caveats #2
Course Subject Classification



Given that the Delaware Study is intended as
a cost study, classification of a course is by
the instructional account paying for the
instructor.
In some instances, this is not the same as
the department offering the course.
A detailed breakdown is given in Appendix D
of the Report.
Caveat #3
Cost/Expense Measures

We participated in the cost/expense portion
of the Study; but the results have not yet
been evaluated.

Consequently, we may have ‘faculty teaching
load’ data only.

We may have (a) cost per credit hour or (b)
expenditures on scholarly activity
An Additional Caveat

2nd year of Wayne State’s Participation, fewer
data issues required resolution.

Data deemed usable, with appropriate
caution for possible outlying anomalies
