Area is proportional to spend. The nine science and engineering fields sum to the total; non-S&E spend — the law school and the business school — is left out.

Per tenure-line faculty member$40kbottom 29%

Research run per PI. A large school can outspend a small one and still run less per lab.

Faculty

282 full-time academic staff

One square = 2 staff.

Tenured15354%
Tenure-track6222%
Other instructional6724%

13 more instructional staff are part-time, not counted above.

IPEDS splits instruction from research inconsistently between schools, so the parent total here is all full-time academic staff rather than instructional faculty alone.
