Graduate Student receipts in the 2010 election cycle

Joining GRADUATE STUDENT to the 2010 cycle

Graduate Student in 2010 is $186,127 on 333 itemized lines from 46 people in the unique-donor roll-up. 2010 is a thin slice of Graduate Student occupation dollars: 3.2% ($186,127 of $5,871,698). The occupation hub is much larger than this one cycle. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates, grouped by self-reported occupation and election cycle, are the source.

333 contributions from 46 donors is a high repeat-itemization pattern in this cycle filter, not a one-gift-per-person table. Unique-donor count collapses multiple gifts by the same person inside this occupation-cycle pair. It does not verify that those 46 people still used that title after 2010. A high receipts-per-donor ratio can appear when few people itemize many gifts. That is a filing pattern, not a campus headcount.

This page is not a restatement of the Graduate Student hub or of the 2010 cycle hub. The occupation hub is every cycle. The cycle hub is every occupation. The tie is the intersection: $186,127.

Reading GRADUATE STUDENT without merging sibling titles

Filers who typed graduate student produced the all-cycle occupation total of $5,871,698. GRADUATE STUDENT is the two-word status string. STUDENT without the modifier and PhD student remain other keys if stored separately. The join does not verify enrollment, degree program, or that the filer was still enrolled. The occupation is not an enrollment census, a university PAC, or a merge with STUDENT.

Reading 2010 without treating it as all Graduate Student money

The 2010 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Graduate Student. $186,127 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2010. A midterm FEC window. It is not a 2008 presidential window and not a 2012 presidential cycle.

333 contributions from 46 donors is a high repeat-itemization pattern in this cycle filter, not a one-gift-per-person table. About 7.2 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio. Mean per receipt about $559; mean per donor about $4,046. Those means are arithmetic on the 2010 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $186,127. Three numbers define the Graduate Student × 2010 cell: dollars $186,127, contribution rows 333, unique donors 46. Share of occupation dollars is 3.2% of $5,871,698.

How not to read Graduate Student money in 2010

Matching Graduate Student with 2010 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Graduate Student donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not an enrollment census, a university PAC, or a merge with STUDENT.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. GRADUATE STUDENT is the two-word status string. STUDENT without the modifier and PhD student remain other keys if stored separately. The join does not verify enrollment, degree program, or that the filer was still enrolled. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. This page does not claim that $186,127 funded USAspending obligations.

Linked Graduate Student and 2010 tables

Graduate Student donations holds the $5,871,698 occupation total. The 2010 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Graduate Student. All occupations places GRADUATE STUDENT beside other titles without merging sibling strings (STUDENT, PHD STUDENT, and GRAD STUDENT). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $186,127 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Graduate Student dollars ($5,871,698). Use the 2010 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $186,127, 333 contributions, 46 donors, 3.2% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use.

Using the Graduate Student 2010 figures in a citation

A usable sentence names both sides: occupation GRADUATE STUDENT, cycle 2010, $186,127 itemized, 333 contributions, 46 donors, source FEC.gov. Do not round $186,127 into a second invented extract.

Do not cite $5,871,698 as the 2010 figure. $5,871,698 is all-cycle Graduate Student. Do not cite a cycle-wide total from this page; $186,127 is Graduate Student only.

The Graduate Student grouping’s 2010 cell is $186,127 in itemized individual contributions, from 333 contributions and 46 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $5,871,698 all-cycle occupation total.

Does Graduate Student include people who typed Student?

No. GRADUATE STUDENT is the two-word string. STUDENT without the modifier is a separate occupation page. The 2010 cycle filter on Graduate Student is $186,127, 333 contributions, and 46 donors. The occupation total across cycles is $5,871,698. Labels are filer-entered on FEC.gov itemized receipts.
