You are a graduate of the University of Texas-El Paso (UTEP) and care about the reputation of the school. You know that UTEPs mission commits it to excellence in instruction and the greatest possible access to quality education across cultures and economic groups. You look up UTEP in the Texas budget and see the following targets set:

Outcome (Results/Impact): Instruction	2020	2021
Percent first-time, full-time degree freshman who earn a BA in six academic years.	41	41
Percent first-time, full-time degree freshman who earn a BA in four academic years.	15	15
Percent BA degree graduates who are first generation college graduates.	53	53
Percent of lower division hours taught by tenured or tenure-track faculty.	30	30
Percent of first-time, full-time, degree freshman who return after one year.	71	71

Do some of those measures relate more directly to the mission of the school? Which ones and how? Can we evaluate whether a graduation rate of 41 percent good or bad performance?
