Profile of a Campus














Quick Graphs


Quick Graphs offer an at-a-glance view of the performance of each academic unit against the campus 10-year median in 28 different categories. A glossary appears under each graph describing each category and the DMI line items that were used to compute that category. Each bar is computed as the ratio of the unit's 10-year-median to the campus 10-year median, a value of 1 indicates they were the same, a value of 0.5 indicates the unit's median was half the campus median, and a value of 2 indicates the unit's median was double the campus median, etc. The blue dotted line at Y=1 indicates the "unit median equals campus median point." The data used for this focus section is from the Division of Management Information, Copyright 2006, Board of Trustees, University of Illinois. Reproduced with Permission.
