Notes

  1. There is no significance to the order of appearance. No assumptions can be made about the contents of the first row, for example.
  2. WPMS department contacts provide updates and corrections as needed.
  3. This is an optional attribute and may be empty. Department and campus names are manually entered; consistency of spelling cannot be assumed.
  4. An alternative strategy for deriving department name is available:
    1. Parse the employing agency code (eac=numericCodeHere) out of the <uhScopedHomeOrg>. 
      1. See <https://www.hawaii.edu/bwiki/download/attachments/237961967/EAC.pdf> for the code values.
  5. We are probably not using this LDAP attribute the way it was intended.
