The US News & World Report¹s Rankings and Insitutional Space Resources
Presenter(s): George G. Mathey, Dober Lidsky Craig & Associates; Gerald A. Vander Mey, Clemson University
US News & World Report¹s ranking of higher education institutions has come to be viewed by many as a preeminent source of information on the relative quality of a wide range of institutional types. While the rankings judge institutions on a wide range of factors (quality of faculty, quality of student body, endowment, fund raising, etc.) there is little attention given to physical plant and specifically space issuesissues that occupy much of the typical SCUPer¹s time. This session will explore and compare the amount of space at different cohorts of ranked institutions. The focus will be not only the amount of space at each institution, but how the different cohorts compare, and whether there are demonstrable correlations between space and institutional rank. |
 This knowledge resource from SCUP is a concurrent session presented at the Society's thirty-seventh annual, international conference and Expo, SCUP–37, in San Diego, CA (USA), in July of 2002. Audiocassettes of this and other SCUP–37 sessions are available for purchase here. |
| Due to our concern for the privacy of members of the face-to-face audiences at SCUP–37, our digital archives of SCUP–37 presentations end at the beginning of the question and answer portion of each session. Whenever we can, we not only provide streaming audio but the slide show or visual presentation used by the presenters, as well. |
