APPENDIX E: Big Ten Academic Alliance Values

As part of our research, we examined vision and mission statements, strategic plans, and other materials produced by the BTAA universities that state the values each of them hold. Each document was tagged with corresponding values and then analyzed, with more weight given to the frequency of the term as it appeared across the corpus. Find the full list of 108 values in our interactive visualization.
