This survey study, funded through a grant from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (the Basic Research B category of the Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Project Code: 25285236), is part of a multinational research project examining how unit instructional cost expenditure measures are defined, calculated, and used in campus-level decision making across higher education institutions in the United States. In order to help answer those questions, we developed and distributed an institutional survey, and followed up with interviews at several institutions to learn more about their uses of unit cost analysis.
Results from the first stage of the survey are summarized in an AIR Forum presentation here. Your feedback is much appreciated!
