Emory University and the 2014 FEC election cycle

Emory University is one axis; 2014 is the other

An industry-cycle page is not a restatement of Emory University and not a restatement of 2014. It is the cell where they meet: $299,762, 249 contributions, 84 donors. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by employer/industry grouping and election cycle are the source note.

On the employer side, Emory University is university employer text. On the cycle side, 2014 is a two-year FEC window, not a single Election Day. Healthcare and hospital strings are other employer keys. This join is the stored campus label EMORY UNIVERSITY in the 2014 window. Neighboring stored labels include EMORY, EMORY UNIV, EMORY HEALTHCARE, EMORY HOSPITAL, and named Emory schools. LobbyVault does not merge those strings into $299,762. Gifts dated in either year of that window sit in $299,762.

Leaving either axis off the citation misstates the record. $4,791,790 is the lifetime Emory University bucket. The 2014 hub is every grouping that year. The join is $299,762.

2014 is not the whole Emory University story

Emory University across all cycles is $4,791,790. Emory University in 2014 is $299,762 — about 6.3%. The gap is $4,492,028. Closing that gap would require other cycle joins, which this packet does not list.

A reader who only opens the 2014 overlay still sees $299,762 for this string, not $4,791,790. A reader who only opens the industry hub still needs the year filter to recover $299,762. 2014 holds $299,762 of $4,791,790 for this string — about 6.3%. Other cycles hold $4,492,028 (93.7%). Folding those other cycles into a 2014 citation would misstate the record by $4,492,028.

What 84 unique donors are not

84 unique donors are not a census of Emory University. They are the identities attached to 249 itemized rows that summed to $299,762. Mean gift $1,204; mean per donor $3,569; about 3.0 rows each.

Household reuse of a workplace string is common on FEC forms. That inflates neither $4,791,790 nor $299,762 with extra companies; it can inflate donor counts relative to a strict employee roster that this table does not have. 249 itemized contributions from 84 donors produced the cell. Unique donors are contributor keys, not employees counted by HR. This file does not invent names for those 84 identities.

How FEC cycle 2014 works on this join

Cycle 2014 is the second key in the join. Combined with EMORY UNIVERSITY, it produces $299,762. Combined with nothing, it is the year hub. Combined with a different string, it is a different tie.

Itemized receipts in either year of the window are in scope. Unitemized receipts are not. Independent expenditures are not. Those exclusions apply regardless of Emory University. 2014 is a midterm even-year window on FEC.gov. The 2014 hub without Emory University is a different page. The Emory University hub without 2014 is a different page. Only the overlap is $299,762.

Outside $299,762: PACs, unitemized, awards

Outside $299,762: unitemized individual gifts, independent expenditures, PAC spending, and any federal award table. Inside $299,762: itemized individual receipts matching EMORY UNIVERSITY in cycle 2014.

The page is university employer text, not an Emory PAC, EMORY HEALTHCARE as a sibling, or an education NAICS rollup. Naming those exclusions keeps the join from being read as a company political budget. Self-reported employer text splits across spellings. EMORY UNIVERSITY is the key used here. Related titles and legal names are other keys and are not added into $299,762 or $4,791,790.

Snapshot versus live overlay

JSON copy is written once from a packet. Hubs can refresh. If Emory University 2014 on the site shows a different total than $299,762, use the live overlay and FEC.gov. The canonical path for this explanation is the ties URL in the packet.

The body facts remain: EMORY UNIVERSITY × 2014 = $299,762, 249 contributions, 84 donors, 6.3% of $4,791,790. No other dollars are authorized. Use All FEC ties to find other two-dimension pages. Use Emory University 2014 for rows. This prose stays inside packet facts: $299,762, 249, 84, 6.3% of $4,791,790. Restating the join without new numbers: Emory University in 2014 is $299,762 from 249 itemized individual contributions and 84 unique donors on FEC.gov. The same string stores $4,791,790 across cycles, so 2014 is about 6.3% and other windows hold $4,492,028 (93.7%). The grouping is university employer text, not an Emory PAC, EMORY HEALTHCARE as a sibling, or an education NAICS rollup.
