2. COLLEGE/DEPARTMENT-LEVEL BENCHMARKING Summary of Findings
OBSERVATIONS ON PERFORMANCE BENCHMARKING
ACADEMIC REPUTATION Overview
OSU REPUTATION BY ACADEMIC AREA Arts and Humanities
OSU REPUTATION BY ACADEMIC AREA Engineering
OSU REPUTATION BY ACADEMIC AREA Life Sciences
OSU REPUTATION BY ACADEMIC AREA Physical Sciences/Mathematics
OSU REPUTATION BY ACADEMIC AREA Social/Behavioral Sciences
A QUICK REVIEW OF THE NRC SURVEY METHODOLOGY And an Observation
CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS Strong Correlation Between 93Q and Many Objective Variables
LINGUISTICS AND ANTHROPOLOGY Strong Correlation With Only a Few Variables
DEPARTMENT REPUTATION AND PERFORMANCE IS RELATED TO OBJECTIVE CHARACTERISTICS The Challenge is to Identify these Characteristics
POLITICAL SCIENCE OSU 17th Out of 98
PHYSICS OSU 24th Out of 147
ANTHROPOLOGY OSU 66th Out of 69
AEROSPACE ENGINEERING OSU 24th Out of 33
AN EXAMPLE: HOW THE NRC DATA MIGHT BE USED IN CHEMISTRY What Objective Metrics Drive Perceived Performance (93Q)?
IN CHEMISTRY, PROGRAM QUALITY IS CORRELATED WITH FEDERAL R&D EXPENDITURES Sample of Public Universities
FACULTY SIZE APPEARS HIGHLY CORRELATED WITH NRC QUALITY RANKINGS Though in Top Quartile, Correlation Diminishes
AMONG PUBLICS IN TOP QUARTILE, FACULTY SIZE REMAINS CORRELATED WITH QUALITY
TOP PROGRAMS HAVE ᡪ% OF GRAD STUDENTS EMPLOYED AS RAs Publics in Top Quartile
TOP PROGRAMS HAVE ង% OF GRAD STUDENTS EMPLOYED AS TAs Publics in Top Quartile
HOW NRC ANALYSIS MIGHT BE APPLIED TO SETTING STRATEGIC PRIORITIES Chemistry
WE HAVE ASSEMBLED THIS DATA FOR ALL DEPARTMENTS
POSSIBLE METRICS FOR ACADEMIC UNIT PERFORMANCE A Starting Point
