A new marketing brochure profiles three research groups and cites four published findings, none of them new to the brochure itself.
A new paper from the School of Continuous Improvement fits an independent meter to each of the tallest building's four lift cars and finds the Living Dashboard's headline electricity saving real, but earned by only half the fleet.
A new poster from the School of Emergent Priorities tests the Timetabling Office's occupancy forecast, the figure that decides whether a subject's enrolment is capped or grown, against a term of clicker-recorded lecture-theatre attendance.
A new paper from the School of Emergent Priorities finds the University's Locker Retention Sweep can't distinguish a tap that keeps a locker alive from one that actually opens it.
A School of Continuous Improvement poster sets a confidential fortnightly need diary against the campus food pantry's visit log, and finds the count the Living Dashboard reads as a hardship signal is bounded by the pantry's own one-visit ration.
A new paper from the School of Emergent Priorities tracks a full term of exam-hall phone-surrender enforcement and finds the procedure runs exactly as strictly on the University's rare open-note papers as on the closed-book papers it was built to police.
A School of Continuous Improvement poster sorts 1,842 non-conforming items out of the paper-only recycling stream across two audit waves, and finds the largest class is disposable cups and bowls supplied under the University's own catering contract.
A School of Emergent Priorities paper surveys borrowers across all fourteen umbrella-loan bins and finds Facilities' entrance-level Recovery Score explained almost entirely by distance to the nearest door, with the self-reported honesty term contributing next to nothing.
A School of Continuous Improvement poster surveys 186 staff across six shared-office zones on the thermostat authority the Shared Comfort Charter grants them, and sets their answers against six months of central override logs.
