We conducted supplementary analyses to ensure that outliers did not unduly impact residual results. We
identified outliers using studentized deleted residuals. To begin with, we dropped institutions with
studentized deleted residuals that were greater than |3.0|, and reran the regression models. Institutional
residuals did not shift appreciably after outlier schools were dropped. To check the stability of the
residuals with a more inclusive cut-off for outliers, we dropped institutions with studentized deleted
residuals greater than |2.25|. As with the more stringent cutoff, institutional residuals did not shift
appreciably when this larger group of outliers was removed. Therefore, each Institutional Engagement Index
report is based on an analysis of all institutions in the 2001-2003 National Norms.
