The great majority of DMAC participants come from public institutions, and the percentage of private not-for-profits decreases further when participation is weighted by individual but increases slightly when Ohio State is excluded from the dataset. An greater majority of participants come from institutions that offer four-year and post-graduate degrees. This may corroborate anecdotal observations that public, graduate-degree-granting institutions most strongly exert an academic presence at the intersection of rhetoric, composition, literacy, and digital media studies. However, the numbers for the post-baccalaureate institutional classification remain problematic because they do not account for the number of graduate students, the number of graduate programs, and the number or size of graduate programs in fields associated with the DMAC Institute. For both sets, the before chart is weighed by institution (thus, an institution that has sent one participant weighs equally with an institution that has sent more than one participant), and the after chart is weighed by individual (thus, three participants from the same institution count three times as much as one participant from a different institution).
