## Method

Positions are counted when the published job title matches the ticketing pattern (and not an exclusion such as student, intern or graduate assistant); the same rule produces the counts and the change tallies.

Change counts compare successive reads of each school's official directory; a school's first extraction and any day on which 25% or more of a roster appears or disappears at once (a re-read, not turnover) are excluded. This page is published when at least 3 covered SEC schools have the function and they list at least 10 positions between them; smaller combinations are kept out of search indexes.
