Full- and Part-time Employees

Based on a November 2007 snapshot of the Human Resources database, USD employed 2159 people—1429 full time and 730 part time. The table below shows those employees distributed according to the occupational categories required by the federal IPEDS Human Resources surveys.

For the IPEDS surveys, each employee is counted once by the employee's primary job function. For example, full-time administrators who teach a course are not counted as part-time faculty in this table. The only student employees included in the IPEDS surveys are graduate students receiving assistantships.

Library faculty must be counted in the category "Professional" for the IPEDS surveys. In the table below, they are included under the "Faculty" heading because they have faculty rank and tenure status.
