7 IPEDS Data on Staff, page 7 ANALYSIS OF IPEDS DATA ON STAFF Prepared by Associate HR Director Greta Bruneel This IPEDS information represents Westmont statistics with regard to FT and PT staff numbers, gender, ethnicity and job classification in relation to 13 other institutions: Gordon College, Houghton College, Wheaton College, Azusa Pacific University, Biola University, Point Loma Nazarene University, Claremont McKenna College, Occidental College, Pitzer College, Pomona College, Scripps College, Whittier College, and Pepperdine University. All data used was reported for the academic year. Some institutions outsource services for various providers eg custodial, information technology, etc. This can explain some unusual data (eg, Pomona, Whittier, and Claremont reported 0 total Skilled Crafts employees). Where sensible, data is sorted to indicate relative position/rank. Spreadsheet Explanations: o Race.Category Totals: This spreadsheet indicates the % of white and non majority employees per category at each institution. EG: Of the Service Maintenance employees at Azusa, 19% were reported as White, 81% were reported as non majority. The data is sorted in Non majority largest to smallest order per classification. By category, Westmont is above the median in non majority staff in the Skilled Crafts area (again, note small population). Westmont was below the median in all other job categories, ranking (out of 14) 11th in the Executive/Administrative and Other Professionals categories and 13th in the Technical/Paraprofessional Category (which could be explained by the very small population in that category). We should review our efforts to diversify staff specifically in these categories. o Gender. Category Totals: FT and PT staff members, separated by gender and classification, are shown in this spreadsheet. EG: Of the Service Maintenance employees at Azusa, 76.7% are male, 23.3% are female. Westmont is at the median of % female in the job categories of Service Maintenance, Technical and Paraprofessional, and Other Professional. Westmont has the second highest % of females in the Skilled Crafts classification (note, however, small total population). Westmont was ranked 9 th in Executive/Managerial (with 44.2% female) and 10 th in Clerical/Secretarial (with an 86.4% female population which is very high).

8 Analysis of IPEDS Data on Staff, page 8 o Category.Totals: This spreadsheet shows the count and % of FT and PT Staff by Category, per institution. EG: Azusa has 116 employees classified in the Service Maintenance category. The % indicates the % of employees by category at each institution. EG: Of all staff employees at Azusa, 15.9% are categorized as Service Maintenance. Compared to other institutions, Westmont is at or very near the median regarding % of total staff in a given classification in all areas except Skilled Craft, where we have the 2 nd highest %. Other institutions may outsource some of the work (for instance, electrical) that Westmont does in house. o Staff.Student Ratio: Both graduate and undergraduate information is grouped and included because this significantly impacts the student to staff ratio. The ratios in the second set of data indicate the number of students per employee, per FT or PT category. EG: At Azusa, there are 8.8 FT Students per FT Staff member, 34.6 PT Students per PT Staff Member, and 11.2 Students (FT and PT) per Staff Member (FT and PT). Institutions are sorted by descending total student to staff ratio. Westmont is at the median at 5.4 students to staff members. The institution with the lowest ratio is Pomona (3.5) and the highest ratio is Azusa (11.2). Based on the ratios above the mean, Westmont is running with a moderate to lower ratio of staff member per student in its peer group at minimum this would indicate we are not over staffed compared to our peers.
