This is the 28th edition of the UAB factbook, the eleventh edition available electronically on the web, and our sixth full color cover. Facts & Figures is compiled by Planning and Analysis (formerly Institutional Studies and Services) but reflects contributions from offices all over campus. We remain grateful for our contributors’ continued assistance. In recent years the pace of technological development and the need for timely management information have tended to limit the life span and utility of the printed factbook. Therefore, this document should not be used in isolation. Rather, it should be considered an archival companion product for similar information that is continually updated on the Planning and Analysis web pages. All the data contained in this document can be viewed in their most current versions at www.iss.uab.edu. Our objective with this factbook is to produce a useful and usable resource for a variety of information needs. Therefore, we welcome and appreciate your comments and suggestions about the content of Facts & Figures. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS GENERAL INFORMATION Campus Map . 3 UAB Vision, Mission, and Goals. 5 The Board of Trustees . 6 Administration . 7 UAB Organizational Structure . 9 Academic Departments and Chairs . 10 Significant Dates . 13 UAB Presidents . 14 Honorary Degrees Conferred . 15 President’s Medal . 17 Distinguished Alumni Award . 17 Program Accreditation . 18 University Hospital Statistical Highlights . 24 Library Statistics Fall 2007. 25 STUDENT INFORMATION Fall Semester 2007 Enrollment by School and Level . 29 Fall Semester 2007 Enrollment Full-time and Part-time by Race and Gender . 30 Fall Semester 2007 Student Demographics Undergraduate . 31 Entering Freshmen . 32 Graduate . 33 First Professional . 34 UAB Students by Source Fall 2007 . 35 Fall Enrollment by School 2002-2007 . 36 Fall Enrollment by Class 2002-2007. 36 Fall Enrollment by Student Level 1969-2007 . 37 Fall Headcount Enrollment 1969-2007 (Chart) . 38 Fall Enrollment Full-time and Part-time by Gender 1983-2007 . 39 Fall Enrollment by Student Source 2003-2007 . 39 Fall Enrollment by Race and Level 2002-2007 . 40 Credit Hour Production Fall 2007 . 41 Annual Credit Hour Production by School 2000-01 through 2006-07 . 42 Degrees Offered at UAB . 44 Total Degrees Available . 47 Degrees Awarded by School 1969-70 through 2006-07 . 48 Degrees Conferred July 1, 1969 – June 30, 2007 . 50 Required Student Tuition and Fees Fall 2007 . 51 Student Aid Funds Available 2000-01 through 2006-07 .. 53 Athletics . 54 v FACULTY AND STAFF Work Force FY 2007-08 . 57 Work Force by Area, Status, Gender, and Job Category 2001-02 through 2007-08. 58 Work Force by Area and by Status 2000-01 through 2007-08 (Charts) . 59 Full-Time Work Force and Payroll 1997 through 2007 . 60 Full-Time Faculty by Rank, Gender, and Tenure Status Fall 2007 . 61 Highest Degrees of Full-Time Faculty by School by Rank Fall 2007 . 64 Endowed Positions . 67 Faculty Awards and Honors . 71 FINANCIAL AND PHYSICAL RESOURCES Selected Financial Highlights FY 2003-04 through FY 2006-07 . 79 Financial Profile FY 2006-07 Actual . 80 Financial Profile FY 2006-07 Actual (Chart) . 81 Financial Profile FY 2007-08 Budgeted . 82 Primary Program Expenditures for FY 2001-02 through FY 2006-07 . 83 Administrative Expenditures for FY 2001-02 through FY 2006-07. 83 State Funding from the Educational Trust Fund as Enacted FY 1967-68 to FY 2007-08 . 84 Sponsored Project Expenditures FY 2000 through FY 2007. 86 Summary of Grants and Contracts Awarded FY 2007 . 87 Building Summary Fall 2007 . 88 Space by Funding Unit . 93 Building Replacement Costs FY 2007-08 . 93 Funding Sources for New Construction and Major Renovations 1969-2007 . 93 Capitalized Expenditures for New Construction and Major Renovations 1969-2007. 93 Space Distribution (as of September 30, 2007) . 94 vi GENERAL INFORMATION A B C D E F G H I 1430 Bldg 1 1 2nd Ave South University Stores Warehouse 65 University Park Waste Central UAB Holding Support Post Office CAMPUS Facility Building 3rd Ave South MAP Liberty Liberty National Campus Printing National Services Services Bulkmail Parking Deck Facility Bldg 2 10th Street South 4th Ave South 2 Off-Street Parking P Radiology Film Arlington Storage Bldg Children's Business Center Hospital Deck Parking Parking 5th Avenue Parking Deck Deck Parking Off-Street Parking 4th Avenue P 21st Street South 22st Street South 20th Street South 11th Street South 12th Street South 13th Street South 14th Street South 15th Street South 16th Street South 17th Street South 18th Street South 19th Street South 5th Avenue South Central Plant #3 5th Ave South Scene Faculty Shop 501 Public Health Office Retricted Parking Parking Deck Tower The Kirklin Remote Arts Bldg North 502 Bldg Clinic P Annex Bldg Railroad #2 / 45 Clinic Children's Midtown Office Bldg Pavilion Kirklin Center for Clinic Restricted Public Health General Parking.

    Un vers ty of C nc nnat Office of Innovation 1819 Hub, 2900 Read ng Road, Su te 460 C nc nnat , OH 45206 0829 Sunday, January 24, 2021 Re: Prof. Jason Heikenfeld’s Application to the Dean of the Graduate School at the University of Cincinnati To the Search Committee, After careful consideration, attending the online envisioning forum and reading the envisioning committee’s report, I am applying for the role of Dean of the Graduate School at the University of Cincinnati. At minimum I hope that my thoughts on the direction of the Graduate School may prove helpful to the search committee and the new Dean, whomever that may be. To begin, there are three important attributes that I believe I can bring to this role. I share them here, because they clearly drive my comments on the envisioning committee’s specific recommendations. - I am most passionate about student success, and I firmly believe student success represents a singular goal that we can tie all our other goals and metrics into. - I am unable to settle for anything but operational excellence in day-to-day activities, and believe that you cannot sustainably advance the boundaries of academia without operational strength. - I am applying to this role with significant leadership experience, including connecting to both leadership on campus and with government, community, and industry leaders. I will now comment on my general approach to this role and the envisioning committee’s recommendations. At this re-envisioning stage for the Graduate School, approach is arguably more important than detailed action plans.

  • Listening Patterns – 2 About the Study Creating the Format Groups

Most analyses of public radio listening examine the performance of individual stations within this large mix, the contributions of specific national programs, or aggregate numbers for the system as a whole. This report takes a different approach. Through an extensive, multi-year study of 228 stations that generate about 80% of public radio’s audience, we review patterns of listening to groups of stations categorized by the formats that they present. We find that stations that pursue different format strategies – news, classical, jazz, AAA, and the principal combinations of these – have experienced significantly different patterns of audience growth in recent years and important differences in key audience behaviors such as loyalty and time spent listening. This quantitative study complements qualitative research that the Station Resource Group, in partnership with Public Radio Program Directors, and others have pursued on the values and benefits listeners perceive in different formats and format combinations. Key findings of The Public Radio Format Study include: • In a time of relentless news cycles and a near abandonment of news by many commercial stations, public radio’s news and information stations have seen a 55% increase in their average audience from Spring 1999 to Fall 2004.

  • Benefits Summary for UAB Hospital Management LLC Employees Healthcare Plans
    Benefits Summary for UAB Hospital HUMAN RESOURCES Management LLC Employees The University of Alabama at Birmingham uab.edu/benefits Healthcare Plans For new employees, coverage under UAB’s healthcare plans will begin on the date of employment. Employees who wish to enroll in one of UAB’s healthcare plans may do so within 31 days of their hire date or a separate qualifying event. If for some reason you do not enroll during the times stated above, the next opportunity to do so will be during the annual open enrollment period (usually during October with a January 1 effective date). UAB’s medical, dental, and vision plans are stand-alone programs. Premiums for medical, dental and vision insurance are pre-tax deductions from your paycheck. Traditional Medical Plans UAB offers eligible employees a choice of three stand-alone traditional medical plans: Viva UAB, Viva Access and Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Traditional plans are characterized by lower out-of-pocket costs (copays and deductibles) for covered services when compared to the consumer-driven health plan (see below), and do not include a high annual deductible that must be met before insurance begins paying. Consumer Driven Health Plan with HSA UAB offers eligible employees a consumer-driven health plan, Viva Choice. The difference between a traditional health plan and the Viva Choice CDHP is that in exchange for meeting a higher combined medical and Rx deductible, you will have lower monthly premiums. Viva Choice is paired with a Health Savings Account (HSA) that enables you to set aside pre-tax via payroll or after tax dollars to pay for qualified, out-of-pocket expenses.

  • Potential Impacts to Public Radio Transmission Facilities from TV Band Repacking
    Meintel, Sgrignoli & Wallace CPB A Report To The Corporation for Public Broadcasting Regarding Potential Impacts To Public Radio Transmission Facilities From TV Band Repacking Dennis Wallace William Meintel MEINTEL, SGRIGNOLI, & WALLACE, LLC 1282 Smallwood Drive, Suite 372 Waldorf, MD 20603 (202) 251-7589 February 2, 2017 Radio Impacts from TV Facility Changes 1 of 11 Meintel, Sgrignoli & Wallace CPB Executive Summary The firm of Meintel, Sgrignoli, and Wallace, LLC (MSW) is pleased to provide the following report to the Corporation for Public Television (CPB) in response to its Scope of Work to provide Post-Auction Spectrum Planning services to CPB. Specifically, MSW was tasked with studying the potential impacts to Public Radio Station Transmitter Facilities that may result from the TV Band Repack and associated DTV Station channel changes and facility modifications. Digital Television stations will be repacked to channels 2-36 after the completion of the FCC’s Incentive Auction. These channel changes are likely to impact some Public Radio stations that a share tower or are near-co-located with a television station. There are several possible impacts ranging from down-time during rigging and derigging operations to loss of tower space and possible relocation due to tower structural limits. The specific impact is highly dependent upon the specific tower situation as well as the new channel assigned to the co-located TV Station(s). A. Potentially Impacted Radio Stations MSW has conducted a study to determine the number of CPB Eligible Radio Stations that are co-located on the same tower as one or more TV Stations.

  • On-Air + Digital Media Kit No Matter What Device You’Re Listening To
    ON-AIR + DIGITAL MEDIA KIT NO MATTER WHAT DEVICE YOU’RE LISTENING TO... WBHM’s award-winning news and entertainment programming provides an understanding of our diverse, complex, and ever-changing world through local reporting and programming from NPR. Our business model is unique. As an NPR member station and a non-profit entity, the vast majority of our funding comes not from advertising, but from corporate/business sponsors and listener contributions – it comes from our community. OUR LISTENERS APPRECIATE OUR SPONSORS! Among NPR news listeners: 82% have taken action specifically because of a sponsorship announcement. 75% say their opinion of a business is more positive when they find out it supports public radio. 69% prefer to buy products from businesses that support public radio when price and quality are equal. 60% pay attention to the sponsorship announcements they hear on public radio. 61% agree that public radio is selective about the businesses and products that can sponsor its programming. 53% feel the businesses they hear in sponsorship announcements on public radio are more credible than those they hear in advertising on other radio stations. THAT’S CALLED THE HALO EFFECT Because WBHM is a mission-driven, membership organization that the public sees as contributing to the local community, the sponsor is seen as supporting this community service as well — ultimately increasing awareness of your company and distinguishing you from competitors. WBHM is a listener-supported service of the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

  • LEGION FIELD CASE STUDY: Recreation
    LEGION FIELD CASE STUDY: recreation THE GOLDILOCKS ZONE: ALABAMA’S LEGION FIELD GETS A NEW SOUND SYSTEM THAT MAKES ITS AUDIO JUST RIGHT “Centralized control makes the whole system so much easier to manage and troubleshoot should any problems arise. It’s now just a very powerful and very streamlined system.” —BRENT ADAMS, SYSTEMS SPECIALIST, SOUND ADVICE INTEGRATOR CHALLENGE LEGION FIELD, BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA FIELD, LEGION Birmingham, Alabama’s legendary Legion Field is a massive stadium that seats more than 70,000 fans and hosts numerous sporting events. As the home field of the UAB Blazers football team and a host during the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, the stadium’s legacy was growing—while its audio system remained stuck in the past. Stadium management and city officials knew fans were oftentimes straining to hear announcements or completely drowned in uneven sound. SOLUTION Working with the stadium’s existing system, the team at Professional Sound Advice integrated a digital, networked solution that transports signals around the stadium. The streamlined and economical solution eliminated even the stadium’s worst problem areas—while saving the city of Birmingham money. CONCLUSIONS Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama, is nicknamed “the football capital of the south” for a reason. Constructed in 1926, this massive stadium seats more than 70,000 fans, is currently home field for the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Blazers football team, and hosts the Magic City Classic, the BBVA Compass Bowl, and many other events. In the wake of the destruction brought on by the tornadoes of April 2011, the stadium was the primary staging site for the Alabama National Guard relief efforts.
