Book excerpt: The panelists also provided statements describing how variables could be quantitatively represented. The second round instrument presented panelists with indicators asking the experts to rate their level agreement with each metric. When panelists did not reach consensus on indicators, in the subsequent round they reconsidered their original ratings in context of the group means and the group standard deviations for those items. The study required 80% or more of the panel to agree on metrics for inclusion in the final set. The study resulted in 29 variables, detailed by 79 indicators representing the institutional categories of leadership and policy, organizational resources, curricular, professional development, and co-curricular programming. While results focus on international education and programming, one theme throughout the indicators underscores the colleges' traditional ongoing and deep ties to their local communities.
