• Teaching Load - see Section 11.3 of Agreement between Lake Superior State University and Lake Superior State University Faculty Association MEA-NEA (pdf)
• Graduation Outcome Rates, Including Employment and Continuing Education

  Many of the Michigan public universities do not routinely and systematically survey all their graduating seniors to gather data for a reliable response to this metric.  At present there is no common core set of questions and no consistent date for survey administration.  Depending on the institution and the timing, response rates may be low and also biased towards students who have been successful in either entering the workforce or a graduate program.  While institutions are making an effort to report the data that is available to them, care should be taken in interpreting the results.
