This list is not comprehensive, nor is it intended to be authoritative. This data dictionary is aimed to provide general information to the reader concerning commonly used words that individuals will use, hear, or read about while working with faculty data.
Report Inventory: This report inventory and the details contained within are intended to provide a general knowledge to the UT Health San Antonio community of the reports being produced and is not comprehensive. This could prevent duplicative efforts in reporting by leveraging previously vetted and reported statistics. If you have a report that you feel would be beneficial to include in the inventory, please contact the Office of Institutional Research.
