This section contains selected charts and graphs which illustrate a few of the institutional characteristics covered in this report. They are, in effect, "snapshots" of institutional data designed to illustrate rather than provide the more comprehensive information shown in the tables which precede. In most instances, the data from which the charts were designed are found in this report; but in a few instances, where long-term trends are shown, the data used are from more than the past five years.
The financial charts show that while, over the past five years, total college expenditures have risen substantially, the increase is almost entirely the result of normal salary increases with little increase in supplies, expense, and equipment expenditures. The pie diagram indicates the proportion of expenditures most directly related to the academic program as against those for administrative support.
The charts on staffing trends show that while there were increases in faculty, student services, and academic support staff, all units have remained relatively stable for the past five years.
The map of Minnesota shows the distribution of Minnesota students within the student body. The charts related to enrollment show fall quarter headcounts at UMM since it opened in 1960 and the close relationship between headcount and FYE enrollment. Changes in high school ranks and ACT scores between 1990 and 1994 are shown. A chart shows cohort retention and graduation rates for UMM freshmen who remained at UMM and, in addition, those who transferred to any other college within the University of Minnesota system.
Pie diagrams show the change in the pattern of declared majors of the student body between the spring of '91 and the spring of '95. Two related charts show the distribution of course enrollments expressed as "FYE" students among the four Divisions and the distribution of instructional resources expressed as "FTE" faculty among those same Divisions. The charts suggest a decade of substantial stability both in student demand and the allocation of faculty resources.
The final chart shows the change in the percentages of tenured faculty, women faculty, and minority faculty over the years.
