Instructor itemized contributions in FEC cycle 2012

Where Instructor meets 2012

Two FEC dimensions meet here: occupation INSTRUCTOR and the 2012 election cycle. The intersection is $365,059, 608 contributions, and 281 donors. 6.6% of Instructor occupation dollars ($5,514,850) fall in 2012.

2012 is an even-year federal cycle labeled 2012 on FEC.gov, a presidential-year FEC window in itemized receipts. This page does not add later cycles into the 2012 dollars. INSTRUCTOR is a one-word title spanning college, flight, fitness, and training uses. TEACHER, PROFESSOR, and adjunct instructor remain other keys. The join does not assign institution, subject, or that the filer still taught. University, vocational, and fitness instructors can share this label. LobbyVault does not recode TEACHER or PROFESSOR into INSTRUCTOR.

A Instructor bucket, not a license file

On the occupation side, $5,514,850 is the Instructor total across cycles. Sibling labels (TEACHER, PROFESSOR, and ADJUNCT INSTRUCTOR) stay on other pages. Instructor is not an NCES instructor census, a faculty PAC, or a merge with TEACHER.

All occupations lists other titles without adding them to $5,514,850. The Instructor donations page holds the all-cycle occupation table that $365,059 is a slice of. Dividing $365,059 by 608 receipts yields about $600 per line; dividing by 281 donors yields about $1,299 per person. Those ratios are arithmetic, not medians.

608 Instructor receipts in the 2012 window

The 2012 election cycle hub holds itemized individual receipts for every occupation coded to that even-year window. This tie keeps only Instructor. $365,059 is therefore not a cycle-wide total. FEC.gov labels this even-year federal window 2012. A presidential-year FEC window. It is not a 2010 midterm filter and not a 2014 midterm cycle.

608 contributions from 281 donors is moderate repeat itemization inside the cycle filter. About 2.2 itemized rows per donor is a filing ratio. Mean per receipt about $600; mean per donor about $1,299. Those means are arithmetic on the 2012 cell only. The packet has no median, no party split, and no employer table. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $365,059. Three numbers define the Instructor × 2012 cell: dollars $365,059, contribution rows 608, unique donors 281. Share of occupation dollars is 6.6% of $5,514,850.

FEC receipts are not federal awards

Matching Instructor with 2012 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Instructor donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not an NCES instructor census, a faculty PAC, or a merge with TEACHER.

Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. Occupation labels are filer-entered. INSTRUCTOR is a one-word title spanning college, flight, fitness, and training uses. TEACHER, PROFESSOR, and adjunct instructor remain other keys. The join does not assign institution, subject, or that the filer still taught. Campaign gifts and federal awards remain separate public records. This page does not claim that $365,059 funded USAspending obligations. If a reader only needs the occupation, the Instructor donations hub is $5,514,850; the 2012 election cycle hub is the even-year inventory across titles. Do not add those hubs together.

Linked Instructor and 2012 tables

Instructor donations holds the $5,514,850 occupation total. The 2012 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Instructor. All occupations places INSTRUCTOR beside other titles without merging sibling strings (TEACHER, PROFESSOR, and ADJUNCT INSTRUCTOR). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $365,059 is not added to a different year.

Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Instructor dollars ($5,514,850). Use the 2012 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $365,059, 608 contributions, 281 donors, 6.6% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use.

Volume facts for Instructor in 2012

Keep 608 contributions and 281 donors in the same citation so readers can see whether Instructor in 2012 is a high-volume stack or a concentrated roster. About 2.2 receipts per donor and about $1,299 per donor are ratios, not typical gifts.

The all-cycle occupation total $5,514,850 answers a different question: every window combined, not this two-year clock. Unitemized receipts, independent expenditures, and state-office campaigns sit outside this extract. FEC.gov is the source.

Questions

How much did Instructor-labeled donors give in 2012?

The Instructor grouping’s 2012 cell is $365,059 in itemized individual contributions, from 608 contributions and 281 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $5,514,850 all-cycle occupation total.

Are these college instructors only?

Not necessarily. INSTRUCTOR is the occupation string as typed. FEC aggregates do not encode institution or subject. The 2012 cycle filter on Instructor is $365,059, 608 contributions, and 281 donors. The occupation total across cycles is $5,514,850. Labels are filer-entered on FEC.gov itemized receipts.

What share of Instructor FEC money fell in 2012?

About 6.6%. $365,059 divided by $5,514,850 is the 2012 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about 93.4% ($5,149,791) on the occupation hub. See the Instructor occupation hub for other cycles and the 2012 cycle hub for other strings.

Does Instructor 2012 money fund federal awards?

No. These figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal awards are published by USAspending. This page does not claim that campaign gifts funded those awards. $365,059 is itemized receipts tagged INSTRUCTOR in 2012, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
