Instructions: Please justify the need for your request. Be sure to include reference to Goals/Objectives from Part II, and Strategic Planning
Priorities. Please cite any evidence or data to support your request, including enrollment management data (EM Summary by Term) for the most
recent three years, student success data (EM Success report), and any other pertinent information. For EM data, go to http://help/EMC/ (from on

1. Number of new faculty requested in this discipline: ___1__ [Please list staffing request(s) on your Resource Request
spreadsheet.]
2. Rationale for your proposal. Please use the enrollment management data from your attachments (see #4) to support
your rationale. Additional data that will strengthen your rationale include FTES trends over the last 5 years,
persistence, FT/PT faculty ratios, SLO assessment results and external accreditation demands.
According to the IR data, approximately 80% of Chabot students assess into basic skills math courses.
There is a significant need for a math instructor to take on the role of a Basic Skills Math Coordinator, to help to organize
and structure our basic skills program in a way to best serve our basic skills students. That person will require release
time to perform that function. Therefore a new math faculty member is needed so that we do not reduce the number of
proficient experienced faculty in basic skills classrooms as a consequence, whether the new hire becomes the coordinator
or that position goes to an ongoing instructor.
Furthermore, to adequately address the needs of our basic skills students, the math department needs to increase the
proportion of full time instructors to adjunct instructors. While there are many excellent instructors on the adjunct staff,
adjunct instructors are not subjected to the same rigorous hiring process as are full time staff, and full time staff

members are more intimately involved in subdivision decisions regarding the education of our students. In Spring 10 and
Fall 11 combined only 51.3% of the 50.95 FTEF in Mathematics consisted of full-time faculty not on overload; the
overload added only 5.2% to that total and cannot be counted on every semester.
What are the needs of our basic skills students that require the addition of new math faculty?
We need to improve the persistence of basic skills students from basic skills courses to college-level courses (Strategic
Plan Goal B1a).
Of students who took Math 54L in Fall 2008 and attempted Math 43 by Summer 2010, only 64% succeeded in Math 43.
Of students who took Math 55 in Fall 2008 and attempted Math 43 by Summer 2010, only 75% succeeded in Math 43.
These numbers are of especial concern because the successes include students who had to repeat the course. Even after
allowing repetition and a two year period in which to succeed, 36% of Math 54L students and 25% of Math 55 students
were unable to pass the math course that would allow them to transfer to a four year school.
At the lower levels the persistence rates are even lower. Of students who took any of the types of Elementary Algebra
courses in Fall 2008 and attempted any type of Intermediate Algebra course by Summer 2010, only 50% succeeded in
Intermediate Algebra. Of students who took any sort of Basic Math in Fall 2008 and attempted any type of Elementary
Algebra by Summer 2010, only 50% succeeded in Elementary Algebra. Again, students who needed to repeat in that time
period were counted as successes.
We need to increase the success rates in basic skills math classes (Strategic Plan Goal B1b).
In Spring 10 (the most recent semester for which there is data), the success rate in Math 54L and Math 55 classes
combined was 44%, in Math 65 was 35%, and in Math 105 and 105L classes combined was 43%.
In order to cope with the challenges of serving basic skills students, the math department has begun discussion of major
curriculum changes in the basic skills courses. We are examining the Statways program which takes students from
Algebra through Statistics in a single year; this program would eliminate Math 54L (our applied Intermediate Algebra
course specifically designed for students heading towards Statistics). If the Statways program is adopted, then the
population of students taking Elementary and Intermediate Algebra will then consist of nearly all students who are
heading towards Calculus, and so those programs will require significant redesign.

To cope with the major changes that are coming, the math department needs a large proportion of active full time
instructors, and needs sufficient full time staff to allow release time for a Basic Skills Math Coordinator without negatively
impacting the number of full time staff in the classrooms.
A math instructor at Chabot needs great expertise not only in the art of teaching basic skills, but also in teaching upper
level transfer courses and statistics. To best guarantee the necessary proficiency, we need a person who has gone
through the rigorous process of being hired as a full time faculty member.
The Math Subdivision is likely to see at least one to three retirements in the next one to three years. At least one is likely
to occur this year (at least two if the SERP is approved). Furthermore, with a number of remaining faculty in their sixties,
there will be a significant number of more retirements in the next five years or so. If we are to preserve continuity, if new
faculty are to take advantage of the experience and knowledge of senior faculty, it is imperative that new faculty be hired
before others retire.
3. Statements about the alignment with the strategic plan and program review are required. Indicate here any
information from advisory committees or outside accreditation reviews that is pertinent to the proposal.
Maintaining or improving our current ratio of full-time to part-time faculty is crucial to accomplishing our goals within the framework
of the strategic plan. In particular, it is essential for the following three goals:
A4 Find multiple ways to deliver instruction and services for all.
B1 Strengthen basic skills development as a foundation for success.
B3 Support programs and initiatives that increase the success for all students in our diverse community.
While part-time faculty are often very effective teachers, full-time faculty have the primary responsibility for creating, promoting and
evaluating new programs and instructional methods. For example, our use of computer-assisted instruction and online homework
management systems was initiated by full-time faculty, who then led workshops and managed grant funds to expand the use of these
methods among the part-time faculty. We have a number of new programs focusing on basic skills and transfer pathways, and these
will require the support and participation of an energetic group of full-time faculty to succeed. At this crucial time, we cannot afford
not to replace faculty lost to retirement.
