Calie has just been named the director of alumni relationships at a local university. Alumni donations are an important source of revenue for colleges and universities. If administrators could determine the factors that could lead to increases in the percentage of alumni who make a donation, they might be able to implement policies that could lead to increased revenues. Research shows that students who are more satisfied with their contact with teachers are more likely to graduate. As a result, one might suspect that smaller class sizes and lower student/faculty ration might lead to a higher percentage of satisfied graduates, which in turn might lead to increases in percentage of alumni who make a donation.

Calie is feeling an extra pressure to increase total giving to the university because of recent budget cuts. Calie is also feeling pressured to increase the percentage of alumni to give. Calie found this new metric called average alumni giving rate U.S. News & World Report.

To investigate further, Joseph needs to assemble the data on classes, graduation rates, and most important, alumni giving rates for top 123 colleges and universities based on alumni giving.

The attached data base shows data of the top 123 colleges ranked by U.S. News & World Report.

Which of the 123 schools has the most (least) impressive giving rate? Discuss your findings. (I dont really understand how it is considered impressive and what to look for)

Question

Calie has just been named the director of alumni relationships at a local university. Alumni donations are an important source of revenue for colleges and universities. If administrators could determine the factors that could lead to increases in the percentage of alumni who make a donation, they might be able to implement policies that could lead to increased revenues. Research shows that students who are more satisfied with their contact with teachers are more likely to graduate. As a result, one might suspect that smaller class sizes and lower student/faculty ration might lead to a higher percentage of satisfied graduates, which in turn might lead to increases in percentage of alumni who make a donation.

Calie is feeling an extra pressure to increase total giving to the university because of recent budget cuts. Calie is also feeling pressured to increase the percentage of alumni to give. Calie found this new metric called average alumni giving rate U.S. News & World Report.
