System-wide, enrollment decreased 93 students --actual headcount, and 52.8 in full-time equivalents.

Based on the above numbers, what percentage of the 'headcount' are full-time equivalents? Having a bunch of students taking a 2-hour online class can push up 'headcount' but seems to me increasing full-time equivalents is a goal. Listed in declining order:
SD TECH 2404.6 / 2843 = 84.58%
SDSU: 10141.5 / 12589 = 80.56%
USD: 7401.1 / 9971 = 74.23%
BHSU 2882.5 / 4395 = 65.59%
DSU 1858.9 / 3145 =59.11%
NSU 1995.2 / 3496 = 57.07%
