5. Expenditures

13. Non-Instructional Staff
Source for Non-Instructional Staff data is IPEDS Human Resources survey. HR survey classifies employees according to occupation.

14. Non-Instructional Staff
Changes to occupational classifications beginning with the 2012 IPEDS HR survey make data incompatible with earlier years.

15. Non-Instructional Staff
UMKC’s “global grading process” during this period resulted in many employees being retitled, and in many cases their occupational code was changed as well. This may be responsible for some of the changes observed since 2012.
