(LEO members are counted only once on all three campuses, based on the appointing department group of their LEO job title. For those with an appointment in a LEO job title in more than one appointing department group, they are counted in the appointing department group and job title where the university indicator = 1. Counts also include those with only overload appointments in a LEO job title and those on leave at the time of the snapshot.)

A. LEO members teach about 31% of all student credit hours at the undergraduate level on the Ann Arbor campus. They teach about 33% of the lower-level undergraduate student credit hours (freshman- and sophomore-level courses) and about 28% of the upper-level undergraduate student credit hours. They teach approximately 13.6% of graduate-level student credit hours on the Ann Arbor campus, mostly in the professional schools.
