Headcount and FTE Table edit

Documenting events to-date should dispute resolution be required.

I have attempted to insert and retain a table that documents the institution's headcount and FTE numbers over the past years. This is statistical information that is of interest to a wide audience (e.g., faculty, students, taxpayers, etc.), and represents the historical growth (or shrinkage) of its operations.

This kind of statistical information is acceptable and in accordance with Wikipedia:College and university article advice.

For reference, this information is taken (and properly cited) from U.S. government survey records, but it is not simply a 're-hash' of an existing post: this information is not readily accessible or discoverable without some digging, and it is never aggregated in any way that allows for year-to-year comparison or trending.

The reverter cites Wikipedia:NOTCATALOG, but that discussion is not relevant to this information, and to-date the reverter has not attempted to engage in a discussion to clearly explain their position. 4CornersGuy (talk) 06:07, 22 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Ziesmerd: WP:UNIGUIDE states "briefly summarize the number of enrollments". Adding a table showing the enrolment history for the past 20 years is not a brief summary, and Wikipedia is not a collection of unencyclopedic year-to-year comparisons of enrolment.
