STANFORD UNIVERSITY

Campus employer string × 2008

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Stanford University and 2008 — sum to $847,394. 830 itemized contributions and 320 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.

Neither the Stanford University hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Faculty, staff, and others who typed Stanford University as employer in 2008 produced 830 lines from 320 donors. The university as an institution is not the payor. Student status is not certified. STANFORD without University can sit on a shorter key. STANFORD, STANFORD UNIV, STANFORD U HOSPITAL, and STANFORD MEDICAL or school-level strings are other keys if stored separately.

5.5% of the Stanford University roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $15,350,461 ($15.4 million). The 2008 slice of $847,394 is about 5.5% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 94.5% ($14,503,067). Treating 2008 as the Stanford University FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $15,350,461 as the denominator for the 5.5% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2008 from being folded silently into $15,350,461.

Questions

How much did Stanford University donors give in 2008?

FEC.gov aggregates show $847,394 in itemized individual contributions for the Stanford University grouping in the 2008 cycle, across 830 contributions and 320 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $15,350,461 all-cycle figure.

What share of Stanford University FEC money is 2008?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $15,350,461. The 2008 cell of $847,394 is about 5.5% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 94.5% ($14,503,067) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Stanford University hub holds other cycles; the 2008 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Is this Stanford University’s institutional PAC or endowment?

No. $847,394 is contributor disclosures that listed Stanford University as employer. The university as an institution is not the payor. Endowment figures and research awards are different datasets. 320 donors are text matches, not a faculty census. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Stanford University hub holds other cycles; the 2008 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Where is the overlay for the Stanford University 2008 join?

Open Stanford University 2008 for the cycle overlay, Stanford University for the grouping hub, and the 2008 election cycle for the year without this employer filter. All FEC ties lists other two-dimension pages. This JSON file names the join; the overlay holds the itemized rows.
