It is important to note that a benefit of participating in the survey is the ability to view the survey results of other participants and to have those institutions identified. Those who purchase the report but did not participate in the survey will see individual results as well, but those institutions will be identified by a number and not the school name. We urge you to participate in future editions of the Facilities Performance Indicators Survey.
