Decision Utility Of Productivity Indicators At The Campus Level, Ryan Sheffield Otto
Decision Utility Of Productivity Indicators At The Campus Level, Ryan Sheffield Otto
Doctoral Dissertations
In today’s higher education environment, costs are increasing, tuition is increasing, subsidies are decreasing, student attrition is extensive, and global competition is increasing. These and other internal and external factors in higher education have created a mounting interest in productivity indicators, the ratio of outputs divided by inputs (Hanushek, 2007; Harris, 2010; Levin, 1993; Massy, 2011; Massy & Wilger, 1992; NCHEMS, 2010; Vedder, 2004).

All of these students are located on the Knoxville campus of The University of Tennessee. This difference in perceptions was measured by the administration of the College and University Environment Scales which was published by Pace in 1963 and is designed to measure college environments. This scale measures groups in the areas of …
