As soon as we finish adjusting the figures to match our projections that we supplied the Board we will have the site up and running again. President Thames decided to increase the percent of some of his improvements, which required recalculating the values needed for 2000 through 2004.

If you think the administration doesn't read the board, you are kidding
yourself.

If you think its an accident that the ACT link doesn't work I advise you to think again.

The link works. You have to go to reports, characteristics and then pull down to year you want to look at.

well--the link that does work provides the ACT characteristics (in ranges) of those admitted and enrolled and those admitted and did not enroll. (some interesting data there) However, the link to the ACT distribution of new freshmen where the mean of 20.2 was reported is not active. This latter link was in the factbook for 04-05.

Just my

but the problem looks to be more related to the HTML used for the "index" page that calls up the PDF documents than anything else. Has anyone called the Institutional Research office & asked them to take a look at it? Just ask if it's a nefarious plot or if the links broken.
