In his award winning article, William H. Walters presents a novel regression-based method of weighting and combining variables to develop a funding allocation formula. The resulting allocations are equity-based, assuring those academic departments that are similar in nature receive similar support. Mr. Walters is commended for a significant contribution to a topic with a long history of discussion in the professional literature and for explaining the particulars of the statistics involved in a clear, understandable and logical fashion.
