Workshop Session and Individual Speaker Comments:
I was a little disappointed that the solution was an expensive software package. Most Divisions cannot
afford to implement such things. I was hoping that there would be more to the talk than throw money at it.

Workshop Session and Individual Speaker Comments:
Nice job on a complex topic.
Difficult topic to address; examples were good; but too specific to one institution.
Ms. Ealy’s talk was clear and thoughtful. I very much appreciated the detail she shared with us, and the
handouts made it easy to see how this tool could be applied in our setting. Frustrating was the fact that
many in the audience seemed to misuderstand the application of the P&L. She could have been slightly
more assertive in controlling the room. On the other hand, it was interesting to hear from others regarding
their uses of P&Ls. Perhaps this would be useful as a group presentation next time.
I like Univ of Pittsburgh handouts - its very helpful that they share how they report on things and would
encourage other schools to do the same when presenting anything related to reporting/data. It helps give a
great visual.

Workshop Session and Individual Speaker Comments:
Good session. I would do it again with other departments. Format was excellent. Good way to compare
across the departments.
I would of preferred if they had chosen a program that didn’t look so similar size and demographic wise
(large programs in big cities). I would of like more on what the differences meant - easier, harder etc
Although I could have downloaded the presentation beforehand, the slides were a bit challenging to read
with the amount of data included.
Interesting topic. nice to hear different institution perspectives. would recommend similar for next year
Had 3 large private schools for comparison - should have included a public for more dramatic comparison.
