Technical Notes and Glossary

This reference booklet contains Fall 2022 snapshot information on employees at all 23 universities and the Chancellor’s Office.

  • All tables and charts in the Employee Profile exclude student employees (unless otherwise noted), other intermittent or casual employees, and faculty teaching in extension, special sessions and summer sessions.
  • Employees are included regardless of the source of funds used to pay their salaries.
  • Beginning in 2020, we use Employee Group to replace Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) as it aligns with CSU’s reporting practices. As a result, data for these groups cannot be directly compared to previous Employee Profiles.
  • Data presented in this report were obtained from the annual systemwide IPEDS-HR extract, from campus HR databases in PeopleSoft, and from the annual Faculty Recruitment and Retention Survey.
  • Percentages referenced throughout report may not add up to 100 percent because of rounding.
