The diagrams give an example
of a multidimensional profile of an academic department, using the four
criteria of Centrality, Demand, Quality and Resources. The position
of the department under study is indicated on various scales, and as
a negative blip on the graphs of frequency distributions. The presence
of the department at other Land Grant-AAU Institutions is also shown.
In future years these profiles will constitute an excellent set of planning
tools as we look at the most effective and efficient design of a Land
Grant-Research University of the highest quality within the resources
available.
