
In fall 2012, colleges enrolled 180,499 state-supported students generating 132,560 FTES, a 5 percent decline in headcount and a 3 percent decline in FTES from fall 2011. The decline was marked for both academic transfer and professional-technical courses.

Even with the decline this quarter, it is estimated that most colleges will remain over-enrolled during the
2012-13 academic year, producing 148,000 state-supported FTES, 6 percent above the legislative enrollment target.

The colleges enrolled 169,020 FTES (all funds), decreasing by 2,416 FTES compared to the previous fall.

Contract-funded FTES increased by 6 percent to 31,586. Running Start enrollments accounted for nearly half of this increase, at 13,912 FTES. International Contract enrollments accounted for the other half of the increase, generating 5,579 FTES.

Student-funded FTES have increased by 374 FTES (or 8 percent) to 4,874 as some colleges continue to shift state-supported courses to self-support to keep sections open or start new programs.

The total student body (all funds) was 238,276 students enrolled in the community and technical colleges with most of those students – 180,499 – enrolled in state-supported courses. The students served are diverse: 29 percent are parents; 42 percent work while 29 percent are unemployed (same as in 2011; 1 percent higher than 2010); the median age of students is older than traditional college students at 26 years of age; approximately half attend part-time (51 percent taking less than 12 credits); 57 percent of students are female; and students are more racially and ethnically diverse than Washington State – 39 percent are students of color (state – 23 percent people of color).

Worker Retraining state-supported enrollments for CTCs and Private Career Schools produced 8,288 FTES in fall 2012, a decline of 16 percent when compared to the previous fall quarter. Worker Retraining enrollments rose just after the recession. Declines this fall may be harbingers for a slowly recovering economy, although demand for Worker Retraining is still above pre-recession levels. Another influence may be that some workers have exhausted unemployment benefits causing them to leave the program early or not be able to start.

Students enrolled in professional-technical programs, the largest mission area, also declined from fall 2011 to 81,599 students. As noted this decrease is due in large part to Worker Retraining reductions, but also included fewer professional-technical students as a whole.

Students enrolled for academic purposes declined by 4% to 69,914 students. This decline may be due in part to fewer high school graduates; however, the decline in transfer students outpaces the decline in high school graduates indicating it is being more broadly influenced than just this.

Colleges instructed 17,241 basic skills course FTES. This compared to 17,192 course FTES in fall 2011.
The 49 FTE increase was modest, but important, because it ended the year-to-year declines in basic skills courses that had occurred with the budget cuts. Still, basic skills FTE instruction is below its peak in fall
2008.

I-BEST FTES (All Funds) continue to decline for the second consecutive fall quarter. Colleges enrolled
1278 FTES, a decrease of 89 FTES from fall 2011.

Opportunity Grants, a financial aid program that started in Academic Year 2006-07, served 2,980 students, or 2,759 FTES in fall 2012. The capacity to serve Opportunity Grant students has decreased as the program funding has remained at the 2007 level, while tuition has increased 50% over that same span of time.

The colleges enrolled 33,126 FTES in all funding sources via eLearning courses in fall 2012. eLearning increased by 1,442 FTES or 5 percent. Most eLearning (81%) is state-supported.

In fall 2012, 6,846 full-time equivalent faculty (FTE-F) taught students in state-supported courses. Total
FTE-F in state-supported courses decreased by 1.3 percent in fall 2012. Classified staff also decreased while administrative and professional-technical staff increased. i

The Fall Enrollment and Staffing Report 2012 provides a snapshot of enrollments in community and technical colleges during fall quarter 2011. The report addresses the questions most commonly raised regarding the community and technical colleges in Washington.
The primary source of information for this document is the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges’
(SBCTC) data warehouse, which is derived from the common management information systems used by all community and technical colleges in the state.
Data on outcomes, facilities, and staffing are reported annually in the companion report, the Academic Year
Report .
The Academic Year and Fall Quarter (Fall Enrollment and Staffing) reports are available online at http://www.sbctc.ctc.edu/college/d_index.aspx
.
Washington's Community and Technical College Act of 1991 provides for a state system of community and technical colleges separate from both the public secondary schools and four-year institutions. The act requires that the colleges "offer an open door to every citizen, regardless of his or her academic background or experiences, at a cost normally within his or her economic means." ( RCW 28B.50.020
(1)
Each college district is required to "offer thoroughly comprehensive educational, training and service programs to meet the needs of both the communities and students served by combining, with equal emphasis, high standards of excellence in academic transfer courses; realistic and practical courses in occupational education, both graded and ungraded; community services of an educational, cultural and recreational nature; and adult education." ( RCW 28B.50.020
(2) Technical colleges are exempted from the requirement to offer academic transfer courses. Each college is governed by a board of five trustees appointed to five-year terms by the
Governor with the consent of the Senate.
Washington's first junior college was started in 1915 in Everett when 42 students began a one-year college program on the top floor of Everett High School. It was closed in 1923 for lack of students. Centralia College, the state's oldest continuously operating community college, opened in 1925. It was followed by Skagit Valley
College in 1926, Yakima Valley College in 1928, and Grays Harbor College in 1930. Between 1933 and 1941 four additional community colleges began operation in Washington: Clark College in 1933, Lower Columbia in
1934, Wenatchee Valley in 1939, and Everett in 1941, all locally administered and locally funded. Combined enrollment was approximately 1,000.
Meanwhile, in 1930 the Seattle School District opened Edison Vocational School, the first true public vocational school in the state. The Spokane School District followed suit in 1939 by establishing the Spokane
Trade School. Both schools eventually became community colleges. The oldest existing vocational technical institute, Tacoma's Bates VTI, opened in 1940. Subsequently, VTIs opened in Lakewood (Clover Park), Pasco,
Renton, Vancouver, Kirkland (Lake Washington), Olympia, and Bellingham. The VTIs in Pasco, Vancouver, and Olympia eventually became community colleges. The VTIs in Tacoma, Lakewood, Renton, Kirkland, and
Bellingham eventually became technical colleges.
Between 1925 and 1941, there were three attempts to provide state support for junior colleges. State support was provided for the first time by the 1941 Legislature. However, that act restricted the number and location of junior colleges, prohibiting their establishment in counties having either a public or private four-year institution.
In 1945, junior colleges were made a part of their local school districts and supported through their funding, as was the case with vocational technical institutes until 1991.
In 1961, the restrictions against expansion of community colleges were removed by the Legislature and junior colleges were designated as "community" colleges. v

The financing of community colleges was separated from that of local school districts in 1963, and in 1965 the
Legislature declared that it intended to establish a separate, independent community college system. Based on the recommendations of the Arthur D. Little Company, the 1967 Legislature adopted the Community College
Act of 1967, which was signed on April 3 of that year.
The structure of the community college system remained largely unchanged until 1991 when, as part of the
Workforce Training and Education Act, the Legislature amended the Community College Act of 1967 and redesignated it as the Community and Technical College Act of 1991.
The state's five remaining public vocational technical institutes were designated as "technical colleges," removed from the jurisdiction of their local school districts, and merged with the community college system.
Each technical college was provided with its own college district and a board of trustees. Each technical college district overlaps the districts of neighboring community colleges. The State Board for Community
College Education was renamed the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges by the 1991 act.
The Community and Technical College Act of 1991 also brought the Seattle Vocational Institute (SVI) into the
Seattle Community College District. It had been the Washington Institute of Applied Technology since 1987 when it was established by the Legislature in a facility previously occupied by the Seattle Occupational
Industrialization Center before it closed. SVI serves economically disadvantaged people in Seattle's Central district, providing job-related training for adults and contract training for local businesses.
In 1994, the Legislature approved the establishment of the 30 th
college district, Cascadia Community College.
The new district began enrolling state-supported students in the fall of 2000.
Pierce College Puyallup became the system’s 34 th
college when the State Board granted it college status as part of the Pierce District in June 1999.
In 2005, the Legislature gave the State Board authority to offer applied baccalaureate programs in a pilot program at selected community and technical colleges. The 2010 Legislature removed the pilot status and gave the State
Board authority to approve community and technical college applied baccalaureate degree programs.
In 2009, the Legislature allowed the five technical colleges to offer transfer degrees that prepare students for professional bachelor's degrees in addition to offering technical degrees.

Colleges enrolled 169,020 full-time equivalent students (FTES) in all fund sources in fall 2012.
132,560 FTES were state-supported. FTES (All
Funds) fell by 12,125 from fall 2010, which had been the highest enrollment ever in Washington’s community and technical colleges.
State-supported FTES, 78 percent of the total, fell by 4,641 FTES (3.4 percent from the previous fall).
Fall State FTES declined for the second consecutive year. State appropriations to the State Board for
Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC) cover the major cost of a fixed number of FTES in the community and technical college system. (A quarterly FTES is equal to 15 credits.)
All other enrollments are regarded as either contract-funded or student-funded. Contract-funded courses are those where the cost of instruction is paid entirely by a contracting organization. Contract-funded FTES increased by 1,851 FTES, or 6.2 percent from fall 2011to fall 2012. Running Start, which allows student to earn high school and college credits, enrolled 13,912 FTES and accounted for nearly half of this increase. International
Contract enrollments accounted for the other half of the increase, enrolling 5,579 FTES.
For a description of contract enrollments, see page 73.
Student-funded class costs are paid entirely by the individuals enrolled. Student-funded offerings (2.9 percent of all
FTES) include vocational courses such as world language for travelers, and workforce education courses such as microcomputer applications. Student-funded FTES increased by 374 FTES in fall 2012 over the previous fall.

Washington Community and Technical Colleges 3

In fall 2012, colleges enrolled 180,499 state-supported students generating 132,560 FTES, a 5% decline in headcount and a 3% decline in FTES from fall 2011. The decline was marked for both academic transfer and professional-technical courses.
Throughout the depths of the weak economy, FTE enrollments increased substantially as more students enrolled and attended longer. As the economy slowly but steadily improves, these students are now finishing college. New students are enrolling, but at a much slower rate than those leaving. These shifts may be influenced by tuition increases, or in the case of Worker Retraining, by students who have exhausted unemployment benefits and are forced to leave early. Financial aid may also be affecting some students’ abilities to attend due to federal rule changes and tuition increases that have outpaced growth in Opportunity Grants.
Even with the decline this fall quarter it is estimated that most colleges will remain over-enrolled during the 2012-
13 academic year producing 148,000 state-supported FTES, 6 percent above the legislative enrollment target.

Worker Retraining state-supported enrollments for CTCs and private career schools produced 8,288
FTES in fall 2012, a decline of 16 percent when compared to the previous fall quarter Declines this fall may be harbingers for a slowly recovering economy, although demand for Worker Retraining is still above pre-recession levels. Another influence maybe that some workers have exhausted their unemployment benefits causing them to leave the program early or not be able to start.

Workforce education as a whole generated 62,122 FTES, a decline of 3 percent from fall 2011. A large part of the decline in the number of workforce students served by the college system can be attributed to the decline in the Worker Retraining program.

Colleges enrolled 53,906 FTES attending for transfer purposes. Transfer decreased by 1,990 FTES or approximately 4 percent lower than fall 2011.
.

Colleges instructed 17,241 basic skills course FTES. This compared to 17,192 course FTES in fall 2011.
The 49 FTES increase was modest, but important because it ended the year to year declines in basic skills courses that had occurred with the budget cuts. Still basic skills FTES instruction is below its peak in fall
2008.

I-BEST FTES continued to decline. Colleges enrolled 1,483 FTES, a decrease of 29 FTES less than fall
2011.

The colleges enrolled 33,126 FTES in all funding sources via eLearning courses in fall 2012. eLearning increased by 1,442 FTES or 5 percent. Most eLearning (81 percent) is state-supported.


Washington Community and Technical Colleges 7

Students enrolled in fall 2012 for a variety of purposes. About 47 percent of FTES were students enrolled in workforce education (preparing for jobs or upgrading job skills), the largest workforce education enrollment ever. Transfer students comprised 41 percent of FTES by student purpose, and students attending for basic skills as an immediate goal comprised 10 percent of FTES by student purpose.
A total of 80,788 students were enrolled in workforce education courses in fall 2012. 69,154 students were enrolled with an expected purpose of college transfer.
19,032 students were enrolled in courses with basic skills as the immediate goal. The latter does not include students enrolled in basic skills classes as part of a workforce or transfer purpose. Chapter 3 provides characteristics for students by their purpose for attending.

Fall 2012 Washington Community and Technical Colleges 25

As in past years, younger students were far more likely to enroll with a transfer goal than older students, who were more likely to enroll for workforce education. Students who enrolled with a basic skills goal were nearly equally represented across the age spectrum.
Transfer Students: State-supported transfer students tended to be younger students (median age of 21.2). Transfer students younger than 20 years have decreased slightly each year since 2009. This trend is consistent with population projections showing that this age group will plateau and then decline through 2015. There was a decrease in each age group, with the largest decrease in the 45-49 age group.

Washington Community and Technical Colleges Fall 2012

Educational Background:
The majority of new transfer and workforce students typically enter college with little or no prior college experience. In fall 2012, nearly three-fourths (74 percent) of new transfer students had at most a high school education, but no college. Another 21 percent had some college, but no degree. Five percent already had an associate or bachelor’s degree or higher. These students likely enrolled for math, statistics or other course requirements needed to take their education to the next level.
Workforce students starting in fall 2012 were also very likely to have little prior college. Over three-fourths (82 percent) started with, at most, some college-level experience. Over half (59 percent) had a high school education, but no college.
Eighteen percent had an associate degree or higher. These students frequently return for job-specific skills, or to retrain for entirely new fields such as nursing.

Washington Community and Technical Colleges 31 Fall 2012

Many state-supported students enroll at community and technical colleges each year to explore the option of transfer. In fall 2012,
20,619 new students started college with a transfer goal. Over half (53 percent) of new fall transfer students plan to complete a degree at their college before they transfer, a one percent increase from the previous year.

Washington Community and Technical Colleges 33 Fall 2012

In fall 2012, the overall number of new workforce students continued its two-year drop after a consistent rise from 2008 to 2010. This decline is likely due to the decrease in Worker Retraining funding available for workforce students as well as the continuously declining seat availability for new students, who have the lowest priority registration.
It is also likely impacted by the exhuastion of unemployment insurance and the improving job market. The distribution of those seeking a degree increased slightly to 52 percent, while those with an unknown goal increased one percent.

Washington Community and Technical Colleges 35 Fall 2012

Family Status: Nearly a third (30 percent) of the students enrolled in fall 2012 are parents.
Employment Status: Colleges enrolled over 47,000 unemployed students seeking employment training. High unemployment continued to have the effect of more students enrolling full-time in college who normally might not attend college, or, only attending part-time because of work.

In eLearning courses, faculty and students use digital technologies for part or all of the instructional work. Online courses and face-to-face courses that include a significant online component (hybrid) are the dominant eLearning approaches.
After flat growth in 2011, eLearning FTES increased 1.7 percent in fall 2012. State-supported eLearning FTES decreased slightly from the prior fall.
The online mode of eLearning comprises the largest share of all FTES at 61 percent. Hybrid instruction, at 37 percent of
FTE production, increased by over 1,000 FTES in 2012.
The most signifiant drop in FTE production was in the “All
Other” category. Nearly 80 percent of eLearning is state funded.

Fall 2012 Washington Community and Technical Colleges 39

The majority (63 percent) of online courses meet general education requirements for transfer and workforce degrees
(social science, humanities, math/English, and natural science). One-third of online courses were technical courses that are part of a workforce program. Five percent were pre-college courses.
In fall 2012, 36,970 students enrolled in online classes. The majority of those students (24,967) take a mix of online and face-to-face classes. There were 12,003 students enrolled exclusively online, taking no face-to-face classes.
Online students are more likely to be female, and those taking at least one online course are significantly more likely to be full-time. Students taking no face-to-face courses are more likely to be working than state-supported students in general. As a whole, students of color are less likely to be enrolled online.

Fall 2012 Washington Community and Technical Colleges 41

Running Start allows qualified 11th and 12th grade students to earn both high school and college credits for completing courses at the college level. High schools pay the college for the program, covering part of the cost of instruction. In fall 2011, a 1.20 FTES limit on total dual enrollment was imposed. Students enrolled in a combined
1.20 FTES or less, attend tuition-free; however, they must pay required fees (waiver available) and provide their own transportation, books, and consumable materials. Students enrolling for more than 1.20 FTES pay tuition for credits above the limit. Waivers for fees are available for low-income students. The 1.20 FTES limit for tuition-free attendance combined with a decrease in eligible grade 11 and 12 students may explain the lack of growth in the program as compared to previous fall quarters.
College in the High School programs similarly allow qualified 11th and 12th grade students to earn high school and college credit. In this program, the courses are taught at the high school by faculty selected according to college criteria and hold an appropriate appointment at the college. Faculty are evaluated according to regular college faculty evaluation procedures.
Alternative High School programs have been developed to offer other pathways to support student success through technical high schools located on some of the technical college campuses. Programs are intended to help students get reengaged so they can graduate with their class.

Fall 2012 Washington Community and Technical Colleges 43

International Students: The number of international students increased in fall 2012. In some colleges, organizations contract with colleges to provide instruction for international students and pay the full cost of instruction. The remaining international students pay the full out-of-state cost of their education themselves either as non-resident, state-supported students or self-supported students. Enrollment opportunities for state residents are not diminished when colleges serve international students because the international students pay the full cost of instruction resulting in resources that colleges use to add more classes. Consistent with federal regulations, most international students enroll full-time preparing to transfer.

Washington Community and Technical Colleges 45

Seventeen years ago, Washington’s economy was confronted with structural changes and layoffs of thousands of workers in major industries. To address the long-term need for better training programs for Washington citizens, the
Legislature and Governor enacted a law to significantly expand the state’s job retraining efforts for the thousands of jobless workers who were forced to change careers to re-enter the workforce, creating the Worker Retraining program.
Demand for Worker Retraining continued to rise throughout the recession. In fall 2010, colleges enrolled more than 13,000 students. However, the number declined approximately 16 percent when compared to the previous fall quarter. This decline was due to the discontinuation of special funding for the program appropriated by the legislature in July 2011. The number of Worker Retraining students fell an additional 15 percent from fall 2011 to fall 2012.

Worker Retraining students are significantly older than all workforce students and are less likely to be students of color. The percentage of Worker Retraining students who are female is higher than the overall population of workforce students. Since Worker Retraining students are unemployed and are often receiving time-limited benefits, they are more likely than other workforce students to attend college full-time.

In fall 2012, there were 4,006 apprenticeship students enrolled in the classroom training portion (related supplemental instruction) of their program. Apprenticeship enrollments require a corresponding employer. Because of the poor economy, employers have been shedding jobs rather than adding, and this continues to affect their ability to add apprentices.

Colleges receive the WorkFirst Block Grant to serve students who are currently on welfare (also referred to as
TANF, Temporary Assistance for Needed Families). WorkFirst services include short-term training to prepare students for work, longer high-wage training, basic skills, and training for working adults to help them in job and career advancement.
The 4,642 students in fall 2012 represent a substantial decrease of 17 percent from fall 2011 as the WorkFirst program faced cuts in services.
Low-income parents who are not currently participating in TANF became ineligible for WorkFirst training in
October, 2010.

In an effort to move students further and faster in their education and training, Integrated Basic Education and Skills
Training (I-BEST) pairs English as a second language (ESL)/adult basic education (ABE) and General Education
Diploma (ABE/GED) instructors with professional-technical instructors in the classroom to provide students with literacy education and workforce skills at the same time. All 34 colleges have approved I-BEST programs. After high growth from 2007 through 2010, I-BEST enrollments began declining in fall 2011 and fell by 163 FTES in fall
2012.

In 2006, the Washington State Legislature appropriated $4 million to the State Board for Community and Technical
Colleges to create the Opportunity Grant pilot program. The goal of the Opportunity Grant is to help low-income adults reach the educational tipping point – and beyond – in high-wage, high-demand careers. Reaching the tipping point allows the least prepared individuals to complete 45 credits, earn a credential, and increase job skills and knowledge through career pathways. Grants provide funding to students to fill gaps remaining after federal Pell and
State Need Grants and for other students not eligible for those grants.
Eligible students pursuing approved pathways may receive funds to cover tuition and mandatory fees up to 45 credits and up to $1,000 for books and supplies per academic year. Individual student support services are an important part of the program and may include a single point of contact, one-on-one tutoring, and career advising.

50 Washington Community and Technical Colleges Fall 2012

In today’s knowledge-and-technology-based economy, baccalauareate degrees in technical programs have gained increasing importance. Stemming from legislation enacted by Washington State in 2005, four community colleges began offering applied baccalaureate programs as of summer quarter 2007. The colleges include: Bellevue College
(Bachelor of Applied Science in Radiology and Imaging Sciences), Peninsula College (Bachelor of Applied Science in Applied Management), Olympic College (Bachelor of Science Nursing), and South Seattle Community College
(Bachelor of Applied Science in Hospitality Management). The first students from these programs graduated in spring 2009.
As of fall 2012, eight colleges have been approved to offer Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS) degrees. These are:
Columbia Basin College, BAS in Applied Management; Lake Washington Technical College, Bachelor in
Technology (BT), Applied Design; Peninsula College, BAS in Applied Management; Olympic College, Bachelor of
Science in Nursing; Bellevue College, BAS in Radiology and Imaging Sciences and BAS in Interior Design, BAS

56 Washington Community and Technical College Fall 2012

Basic Skills : In fall 2012, the majority (58 percent) of basic skills classes were English as a second language
(ESL). Adult Basic Education (ABE), serving the needs of adults with literacy skills below the ninth grade level, was 28 percent of basic skills. GED and High School
Completion were 11 percent. The remainder of instruction included goal-setting classes and some workplace basic skills.
After a substantial decrease in fall 2011, total basic skills
FTES showed flat growth in fall 2012. Colleges reduced instruction in ESL, High School Completion, and Other, and increased FTES in ABE and GED.

58 Washington Community and Technical College Fall 2012

Workforce: Workforce courses are designed to train or re-train people for jobs or to upgrade current job skills. SBCTC classifies its workforce programs based on the wages earned by entry-level workers. The FTES distribution across these areas has remained consistent with approximately 40 percent high-wage, 30 percent middle-wage, and
19 percent low-wage.
In fall 2012, total workforce state-supported FTES declined 3.2 percent from fall 2011. The largest decline was in the lower wage programs, with a 16 percent decline over the last five years. The program area with the largest growth in the past five years is the middle-wage program of “other health services.”

Fall 2012 Washington Community and Technical Colleges 67

Community and technical colleges employed 14,685 faculty and support staff with state funding sources in fall
2012. Compared to 2011, fewer employees were employed in every category except administrative, with the greatest drop being in classified staff. This section provides details on the characteristics and level of staffing in the colleges.
Colleges employed staff using state funds and dollars from grants, contracts, and fees. This report focuses on statefunded employees. Included in this report are four categories of employees:

Classified Support Staff: Employees who work under a set of conditions established through collective bargaining or civil service rules adopted by the director of the Department of Personnel.

Professional-Technical: Professional-technical staff are exempt from the civil service system. This category includes managers of college programs. Also included are non-managerial staff such as advising specialists, student placement coordinators, and principal assistants to chief administrators.

Administrative: This group is exempt from the civil service system or exempt from collective bargaining.
Includes the chief officers, vice presidents, deans and associate deans in instruction and student services, and directors of major programs.

Faculty: Faculty whose primary assignment is classroom instruction plus non-teaching counselors and librarians.

Fall 2012 Washington Community and Technical Colleges 73

In fall 2012, 6,846 full-time equivalent faculty (FTE-F) taught students in community and technical college statesupported courses. One FTE-F equals one faculty member teaching full-time for the quarter, or the equivalent combined work of several faculty members working part-time. A full-time load is defined by each campus and may vary by discipline and mode of instruction. Community and technical college total FTE-F in state-supported courses decreased by 1.3 percent in fall 2012 from the previous fall.
In fall 2012, 53 percent of the state-supported teaching FTE-F was taught by full-time faculty, while 47 percent was taught by part-time instructors. About 6 percent of teaching was done by faculty not on the payroll. In addition to the faculty in the classroom, about 486 FTE-F were counselors, librarians, or on release time from teaching responsibilities for assessment, curriculum development, or student service functions in fall 2012.

82 Washington Community and Technical Colleges Fall Fall 2012

Administrative staff include the chief officers of the college (president and academic, administrative and student services vice presidents); associate deans in instruction and student services; the director of the library or learning resource center; and directors of human resources, institutional research, grants administration, information systems, accounting, facilities, admissions, registration, financial aid, and counseling. They are exempt from the jurisdiction of the Washington Personnel Resources Board civil service system and from collective bargaining. Administrative staff FTE increased by nearly 3 percent in fall 2012. This was the first increase in this staff category in 3 years.
The number of administrative FTE varied from college to college as a result of differences in size, organizational structure, and program offerings. Some colleges placed functions such as grants and contracts, physical plant, media services, public information, institutional research and planning under the direction of administrative staff. At other colleges these functions were performed by professional/technical or classified staff.

Fall 2012 Washington Community and Technical Colleges 83

Professional-technical staff are exempt from civil service and may be exempt from collective bargaining. Included in this category are managers of instructional programs (if not faculty or deans), custodial services, food services, purchasing, payroll, student activities, and budget officers. Also included are non-managerial-staff such as advising specialists, student placement coordinators, and principal assistants to chief administrators. Professional-technical
FTE staff decreased slightly (1 percent) in fall 2012 from the previous year.
The number of professional-technical FTE varied from college to college as a result of differences in size, organizational structure, and program offerings. For example, business education was directed by professional- technical staff members at some colleges, but that function was divided among several program chairs (faculty) at other colleges.
