8, 8.b, 13, 13.b In FY2012, the WSU Libraries had a substantial reduction in its overall budget. This reduction was
covered largely through elimination of positions (both vacant and filled).
8.a These salaries and wages contain $799,414 from the Reuther Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs
(WSU’s Special Collections Branch).
8.b These salaries and wages contain $112,423 from the Reuther Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs
(WSU’s Special Collections Branch).

(WSU’s Special Collections Branch)
9 These expenditures include $41,426 from the Reuther Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs (WSU’s
Special Collections Branch).
10 Fringe benefits are not paid from the libraries’ budgets. This estimate includes $232,543 in fringe
benefits paid to the staff of the Reuther Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs (WSU’s Special
Collections Branch).
11 Fringe benefits for both professional and support staff positions are officially designated to be 25.2%.
Benefits for student assistants and temporary and part-time staff are calculated at much lower
percentages.
13 This total contains 22 positions from the Reuther Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs (WSU’s Special
Collections Branch).
13.a This total contains 14 positions from the Reuther Archives of Labor and Urban Affairs (WSU’s Special
Collections Branch).

19 This figure is based on reports from 167 resources.
20 This figure is based on reports from 158 resources.
23 The seeming increase in awarded degrees is the product of the shift from asking for the number of
PhD degrees awarded to asking for the number of Doctors’ degrees awarded. We awarded 210 PhDs
and 597 other Doctors’ degrees in 2011–12.
27, 29 Wayne State University has had a decline in enrollment in the past year. The drop in the number
of part-time undergraduate and graduate students also reflects a change in the way in which WSU
is counting enrollment. In the past, students who dropped their courses during the open or late
registration period were counted in our enrollment. The practice of counting those students did not
meet the definitions provided by NCES and has been discontinued.
