These schools were selected as comparison schools because they share similar missions and budget sizes. It would be less meaningful to compare Be- loit with schools that have significantly more or less financial resources with which to operate, or to compare Beloit with schools that do not share similar values and goals. The process of identifying comparison schools was completed in 2014 and is outlined in further detail in Appendix B. Because faculty and administrators have a shared goal to increase faculty salaries to the median of the Associated Colleges of the Midwest (ACM), and because cost of living is less varied across the midwest than across the United States, we have used ACM schools, rather than our peer schools, on charts of faculty salaries. This book is confidential and may only be used by current Beloit College trustees, faculty, and staff for planning and management related to advancing the mission of the college. Many of the data in this volume are confidential. Some of data in this volume were compiled by Higher Education Data Sharing (HEDS) and are subject to its Understandings Regarding the Use of Information Gathered for HEDS, which is printed in Appendix C. We wish to thank Brandon Diop’17, Ellenor Anderbyrne’05, Hilary Walker’16, Chen Bao’17 and Paul Stanley for their contributions to previous volumes upon which this version is based, and Cynthia Gray, Russ Cannon and previous in- stitutional researchers who compiled Beloit College data for many of the years contained in this volume. This book was prepared using LATEX with Bookman font. We hope the material contained in this volume spurs questions and conver- sations among members of the Beloit College community. We’d love to talk with you about the visualizations, provide the graphics to you for use in your own presentations, or hear your suggestions for future editions. If you find an error, please let us know so that we can correct it.
