PREFACE

Each year the Office of Institutional Research and Planning prepares and distributes individual data summaries and reports representing the current status as well as historical trends of various campus indicators. Many are distillations of more detailed reports prepared for SUNY Central Office, the federal government, and other external agencies. Others were developed to assist management in planning decisions, budget narratives and press releases.

The University Fact Book provides in a single source a compilation of those reports which are frequently referred to by department chairs, administrators, and others who have need of quantitative information about the University. Intended to serve as a planning tool as well as a general source of information about Fredonia, the University Fact Book is published annually.

This publication is divided into two major sections: Part I - Institutional Data Summaries provides data presentations by subject area across the institution; Part II - Departmental Data Summaries presents statistical data summaries arrayed for each academic department.

It should be noted that Part I has a new section, Section F, entitled Semester Summaries. This section contains basic statistical data, arranged by semester, for the fall semesters of 2000 - 2004 and the spring semesters of 2001 - 2004.

Since the University Fact Book is intended to be a useful reference source, suggestions for improvement are very welcomed.
