None. Marquette University English & Comparative Literature has 16 left-framed courses and not one right-framed course.

Why this number, in plain words

Counted: all courses in the group, including N and I. No interval is published for this number.

Right-framed courses are almost absent (33 of 124,290); this run cannot tell catalog reality from model sensitivity. Compare schools with adjusted_ratio, not this raw share, because department mix differs.
