*Faculty include professors, associate professors, assistant professors, senior instructors, instructors, and lecturers who taught credit courses (excluding continuing education) in Fall 1995, are budgeted in state-assisted accounts, homed in an instructional account (-050-0001 through -5499), and have a "regular" appointment status (as opposed to temporary or occasional). For OSU's Agricultural Experiment Station, Forest Research Laboratory, and OSU Extension Service, the numbers include faculty homed in any -050- account with at least some FTE budgeted in an instructional account.
**Data reported here include class sections in which a graduate assistant was the only instructor of record listed.
@The "other instructors" category includes any organized or independent study classes taught by adjunct instructors and administrators and classes for which the specific instructor category was not identified on the data file.
