64. It should be noted that since liaison responsibilities to support disciplines and programs can be spread out in an organization, the results of this study are not comprehensive for any single institution.
65. One additional respondent stated that the campus does not have an undergraduate research program; however, a simple search of "institution name" + "undergraduate research program" indicates otherwise.
