This reference booklet contains fall 2023 snapshot information on employees at all 23 universities and the Chancellor’s Office.
- Data presented in this report were obtained from the annual systemwide IPEDS-HR extract, from campus HR databases in
PeopleSoft and from the annual Faculty Recruitment and Retention Survey.
- Beginning in 2023, we report all classifications/job codes within United Auto Workers (UAW) for the represented Academic
Student Employees regardless of Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) reporting guidelines. As a result,
data for these groups cannot be directly compared to previous Employee Profiles.
- All tables and charts in the Employee Profile exclude non-represented student employees (unless otherwise noted), other
intermittent or casual employees, and faculty teaching in extension, special sessions and summer sessions.
- Terminology and classifications represented throughout the document are consistent with those utilized by the Integrated Postsecondary Data System Reports (IPEDS).
- Beginning in 2020, we use Employee Group to replace Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Standard Occupational Classification
(SOC) because it aligns with the CSU’s reporting practices. As a result, data for these groups cannot be directly compared to
previous Employee Profiles.
- Percentages referenced throughout this report may not add up to 100 because of rounding.
