The Consortium regularly engages in a self-study process in order to learn more about our members. We share this information with our members in order to help them compare their institutions with other similar institutions. It is our hope that the information can help members advocate for increased support and resources. We also hope it will help people who are beginning their careers in this field, as they are able to track other people’s career paths.
