Unit Plan: Full-Time Faculty/Adjunct Staffing Request(s) [Acct. Category 1000]
Unit: Anthropology
Division or Area to Which You Report: Social Science
Author(s) of this Unit Plan: Mireille Giovanola & Kip Waldo
Date: March 9, 2011
Audience: Faculty Prioritization Committee and Administration
Purpose: Providing explanation and justification for new and replacement positions for full-time faculty and adjuncts
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
campus—college intranet). If you have not worked with EM data previously, seek assistance from your division dean or CEMC rep.
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.
Currently the discipline has only one newly hired full-time member and another who is on a pre-retirement load reduction and is
preparing to retire with the upcoming SERP. As a result, adjunct faculty will teach an even greater percentage of sections. We
currently offer seven (7) sections of Biological/Physical Anthropology and three (3) sections of the Biological/Physical Anthropology
Laboratory and seven (7) varied Cultural Anthropology classes. This will return us to a situation where one faculty member is required
to coordinate Biological/Physical Anthropology Lectures and Laboratory classes as well as a minimum of seven (7) sections of
different Cultural Anthropology classes each semester.
While a number of the adjunct faculty are actively involved in extra-classroom program initiatives, they are not able to fulfill the roles
of full-time faculty in meeting the program’s goals and objectives. They are often not as available to students as full-time faculty
simply because they are not on campus as much.
The Enrollment Management data for the most recent 3 years indicate a robust average WSCH/FTEF of 615.45 for Spring 2008
through Spring 2011. (The full data is appended to this document.) The most recent data on Success Rate shows an average of 65% for

Revised 2/2/11
Spring 2010. (The full data is appended to this document.)
The current lack of full-time faculty severely hampers our functioning as a discipline. Having only one full time faculty limits our
programmatic development and participation in many of the college efforts such as development of CLOs, adjunct faculty mentoring
and evaluation, curriculum planning and development as well as representing our discipline and division on college-wide committees.
Our students need more support. Due to an increased interest in the discipline, last year a number of students have formed a very
active anthropology club. The current full-time faculty member provided as much support as possible to these students; however, he
was the advisor to another very active club on campus. In To redress this imbalance and to forward strategic planning as it applies to
Anthropology, the discipline needs another full-time faculty person.

information from advisory committees or outside accreditation reviews that is pertinent to the proposal.
We are in the process of developing an Anthropology AA, which means the addition of at least two new classes. We are coordinating
an effort, with Geography and other disciplines to develop an Environmental Studies Program and working with faculty at San
Lorenzo High School to develop a partnership, which will bring more students on campus to take classes.
We are conducting research regarding student self-evaluations in Anthropology classes.

Unit Plan: Classified Staffing Request(s) including Student Assistants [Acct. Category 2000]
Unit: Anthropology
Division or Area to Which You Report: Social Science
Author(s) of this Unit Plan: Mireille Giovanola & Kip Waldo
Date: March 9, 2011
Audience: Administrative Staff
Purpose: Providing explanation and justification for new and replacement positions for full-time and part-time regular (permanent) classified
professional positions (New, augmented and replacement positions) AND student assistants (tutors, learning assistants, lab assistants,
supplemental instruction, etc.).
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. If this position is categorically funded, include and designate the
funding source of new categorically-funded position where continuation is contingent upon available funding.
Justifications should include rationale for requesting the position. Rationale should include specific reference to, where
necessary and appropriate. [Reminder, student assistants are not to replace Classified Professional staff.] Please
list staffing request(s) on your Resource Request spreadsheet.

1. Rationale for your proposal. Please include the rationale from your program review and unit plan. Rationale should
include things such as student learning and service area data and outcomes, difficulty in serving students, health and
safety concerns and/or any other information that speaks to the criteria listed previously.
Learning Assistants As our sections are getting larger, with the budget cuts, the degree of anonymity in the classroom is increasing.
With all of our classes, with exception of the labs at 44 students, or more, it is increasingly difficult for a faculty member to establish
the kind of connection that is often conducive to student success. A big part of the role of the Learning Assistant is to break down this
sense of anonymity and establish. another set of “connections” for students in the class. This helps them root them more in the class
and give them someone else to go to if they start to stumble or have questions.
In addition, the success data shows that students who are at least 1A eligible have a significantly higher rate of success than those who
do not have this foundation. If we can introduce students to the various support services available at the college, and engage them,
their success rate will be higher. The data tends to corroborate this, but not conclusively and in anthropology we are in the early
stages of incorporating discipline-specific support having involved Learning Assistants in three sections of Anthropology 3 with
varying degrees of success. Each intervention was positive and we have learned more about when and how to engage the Learning
Assistant. in the classroom and when they can best function outside.
This semester was to be a hopeful one, but the economic situation caused the student selected for ANTH 3 to drop this opportunity to
find a job.
In the near future we would like to have Learning Assistants in at least one Cultural (68 hours) and one Biological Anthropology class
(68 hours) and one Physical Anthropology Lab (68 hours). The lab would require presence in all the 3-hour labs plus one hour a week
for individual and group appointments. While it is better to have a LA participate in all meetings of the “lecture” classes it is not
absolutely necessary all the time. There are times when students are working in small groups, which is a good time for a L.A. to
participate and get known in the class. The venues and focus will vary according to the focus of the units under discussion, necessary,
so 3 to 4 hours a week for each 3-hour class would provide sufficient time for in-class and out-of class meetings.
Peer Tutors – Getting students to take advantage of the resources of the PATH or WRAC Centers can be a challenge, but having
tutors meet the class and offering extra credit for assignments often facilitates some students using the services. Having at least two
tutors for Cultural Anthropology and two tutors for Physical Anthropology is most useful, as it provides greater availability and access
for students.
2. 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.
Our request for academic support for students is aligned with the following Chabot strategic plan goals:
(1) Awareness and Access, especially: Increase familiarity with Chabot, Reach out to underrepresented populations, and Multiple
ways to deliver instruction and services for all.
(2) Student Success, especially: Strengthen basic skills development, and Increase success for all students in our diverse community.
Program Review: Enrollment Requests
Unit: Anthropology
Division or Area to Which You Report: Social Science
Author(s) of this Unit Plan: Mireille Giovanola & Kip Waldo
Date: March 9, 2011
Audience: Budget, Deans, CEMC, PRBC
Purpose: To recommend changes in FTEF allocations for subsequent academic year and guide Deans and CEMC in the allocation of FTEF to units.
Instructions: In the area below, please list your requested changes in course offerings (with reference to corresponding change in FTEF) and provide your
rationale for these changes. Be sure to analyze enrollment trends and other relevant data (http://help/EMC/). Please seek your dean’s assistance as needed.
Request: Additional .8 FTEF per year (4 courses) to support the following:
(1) Growing demand for Anthropology courses, especially Anthro 1 and Anthro 1L.
(a) Due to budget cuts and the adverse effects of the economy, we have to accommodate more students. Our classes in Anth 1 and Anth 1L
tend be over-enrolled. This is an ongoing trend. Overall, from Spring 2008 through Spring 2011, Anthropology 1 sections are 110% enrolled,
Anthropology 1L sections were 106% enrolled. Together, these courses satisfy the lower science division requirements and are fully
transferable to UC and CSU schools. We need an additional section so we can serve our students without sacrificing quality of instruction.
(b) We are considering offering the hybrid Anthro 1 course again.
(2) Preservation of diverse Social/Cultural Anthropology courses.
Due to budget cuts, we have had to make tough scheduling choices between different courses in Social/Cultural Anthropology. Some of our
courses, such as Anthro 2 and 12 are offered every other semester. Anthropology 8 has not been offered recently and neither has the
Anthropology 3 telecourse.
(3) The introduction of two new courses.
We would like to introduce Anth 4 (Language and Culture) and Anth 13 (Forensic Anthropology) to expand our class offerings and in
preparation for the introduction of an AA program.
(4) Development of an AA program in Anthropology.
We have an increasing number of students who wish to pursue anthropology as their major at four-year institutions. We will need to offer our
students a variety of courses that will allow them to earn an AA degree along with a well-rounded education (see 2 and 3 above)

What educational programs or institutional purposes does this equipment support?
Anthropology 1L (hands-on instruction in lab), Anthropology 1 and 3 (lecture materials), Anthropology 13 (when we offer it).
Briefly describe how your request relates specifically to meeting the Educational Master Plan and the Strategic Plan Goals and support the goals and
outcomes detailed in your Unit Action Plan (Part II, Section 2)?
Our request relates to the following values as set forth in the Educational Master Plan:
• Supporting a variety of teaching philosophies and learning modalities.
• Providing an environment conducive to intellectual curiosity and innovation.
• Encouraging collaboration that fosters learning.
• Engaging in ongoing reflection on learning by students and by staff.
• Cultivating critical thinking in various contexts.
• Supporting the development of the whole person.
Our request supports the following Strategic Plan Goals:
 Awareness and Access: Multiple ways to deliver instruction and services for all
13
 Student Success: Increase success for all students in our diverse community
Why is this equipment necessary?
Immediate health, safety, or security issues
X Increased enrollment
Prevents further deterioration of facilities
X Replaces deteriorated equipment or facilities
X Shows cost advantage due to rising prices
X Provides visibility for the Bond Program
Briefly describe how the above criteria are satisfied:
Our specimens are used in labs and lecture courses that are often over-enrolled. Having these specimens offers more opportunities for students to
have access to the material.
Because they are in high demand, some of these specimens are damaged due to normal wear and tear and need to be replaced.
Every year, prices go up. We are trying to acquire the specimens we will need to accommodate more students, as well as for the class we would
like to introduce (Anth 13: Forensic Anthropology).
Our lab has been used for public lectures/talks, using our collection. In fall 2010, our lab was one of the facilities visited during Open house.
What is the consequence of not funding the equipment?
(1) Specimens that need to be replaced will not be.
(2) It will be difficult to teach Anth 13 (Forensic Anthropology) with the materials we currently have. Anth 13 is a specialized class that requires a
variety of forensic specimens.
(3) We will lose educational/teaching opportunities with students.
What alternative approaches have been considered to meet programmatic demands for this equipment?
We can use a combination of slides/photographs and videos. A Photographic Atlas is used in the lab sections. However, these in no way substitute
for actual specimens. We are mindful of the fact that students learn in many different ways, and have routinely made our specimens available to
students in all Anth 1 and Anth 1L sections. Specimens will be used by Anth 13 students as well. In general, students respond enthusiastically to
hands-on examination of the material and work cooperatively to a much greater degree.
14
How many students will be impacted by the purchase of this equipment? About 1,100 a year.
Do students use this equipment?
X yes
no
Is this equipment a replacement?
X yes (some)
X no (most)
Staffing requirements for new equipment (number of staff, are they available, training, etc.):
Number of Staff: No additional staff necessary
Are they available N/A
Will training be required?
yes
X no
At whose cost? N/A
What are the estimated ongoing costs (for maintenance, etc.)? None, except for replacement costs due to normal tear and wear
Are there potential utility costs/savings? N/A
Is this request CTE (Career Technical Education) Eligible? X yes
no
