An examination of the nine institutions that comprise the State University System of Florida attempted to: (1) determine the instructional and instructional-related productivity and the overall utilization of faculty resources as influenced by the size, mission, and complexity of individual institutions, and by the level and discipline of the instructional activity; (2) examine the size of classes as related to the productivity of faculty resources among the institutions, disciplines, and levels; (3) investigate some of the significant characteristics of the "production function" for instructional and related activities; (4) test the utility of the HEGIS discipline classifications as the basis for measuring and comparing faculty productivity, and for the allocation of resources; (5) determine the longer-term changes in faculty productivity, and the differential shifts between disciplines and institutions; (6) evaluate the resource allocation model currently employed in the State University System; and (7) provide the basis for interpreting and assessing the cost, or expenditure, approach to the measurement of resource utilization that is currently being developed for the system.
