The graduation and retention effectiveness metrics should be considered in conjunction with the expenses per FTE student measures. The combination of these charts provides indicators of institutional efficiency and effectiveness by examining whether percentile rankings for effectiveness measures exceed or lag percentile rankings for expenses. Effectiveness rankings that exceed expense rankings may indicate opportunities to improve effectiveness through increased spending. Effectiveness rankings that lag expense rankings may indicate inefficient spending.
