This is the eighteenth annual edition of Bates Facts, a common source of basic factual information about Bates. It is distributed to members of the Bates community to be used as a reference guide, and should reduce confusion by making a standard set of data and information about the college available to all. The information reflects the 2012-2013 academic year, or (where specified) the most recent figures available. The most current information may be obtained from the office responsible for that area, or from the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment Support. Bates Facts is posted on-line at . To avoid misrepresenting the college, members of the Bates community who respond to external surveys and data requests should have their final data verified by the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment Support before submitting any Bates data. Please call the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment Support at ext. 8210 or e-mail at

Headcount includes teaching faculty and those on leave as defined by the Dean of Faculty. Several faculty have contracts for joint or split appointments in more than one department, but totals show unduplicated headcount. 25 “AAUP” is the American Association of University Professors. Their definitions for full-time faculty are common among our peer institutions. 26 This student to faculty ratio is calculated based on the Common Data Set definitions and formula. For more on how the ratio is calculated, see page 22 of the most recent Common Data Set posted here: http://www.bates.edu/research/common-data-set/
