*Ranked faculty include professors, associate professors, assistant professors, senior instructors, instructors, and lecturers who taught credit courses in regular programs in Fall 1997.

**All faculty include ranked faculty plus any other instructor, such as a graduate assistant or adjunct instructor, who taught courses in regular programs.

*** "Instructor course credits" refers to the credit hour value of courses taught, including independent study courses. For example, a four-credit course equals four instructor credits.

@Average instructor course credit = instructor course credit divided by instructional FTE.

#Student FTE enrollment = student credit hours in regular programs divided by 15 for undergraduates, by 12 for master's students, by 9 for doctoral students, and by 14 for law students (UO). For veterinary medicine (OSU), each enrolled student is considered to be one FTE.
