Resource Request Forms Revised 2/2/11 Unit Plan: Full-Time Faculty/Adjunct Staffing Request(s) [Acct. Category 1000] Unit: EOPS Division or Area to Which You Report: Special Programs and Services Author(s) of this Unit Plan: Jeanne Wilson, Laura Alarcon, Michael Booker, Art Barboza, Sylvia Ramirez Date: March 5, 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. EOPS was granted a full-time counselor/instructor, tenure track position by the faculty prioritization committee with the understanding that 50% of the position will be funded by college funds and the other 50% by EOPS/Categorical funds. This position was to replace a tenured counselor who transitioned into the role of EOPS Coordinator to replace a faculty member who took the SURP and retired after 25+ years of service in EOPS. Once the budgetary climate is more fiscally sound this staffing request will be relevant and essential to developing and sustaining a support program that will increase success for African American males. If outside funding were successfully secured to develop a SBBC: Break the Cycle initiative, a full time Counselor/Coordinator/Instructor position in conjunction with our “signature program” Daraja (which has been vacant for Resource Request Forms Revised 2/2/11 three years) would be a natural fit for each effort. 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. By reaching out to populations underrepresented in higher education we will raise awareness about access about opportunities in community college. According to the Journal of Blacks in Higher Education, African-Americans at colleges and universities across the nation have a 'very low' graduation rate of 44 percent. Despite the disparities in the graduation rates of Black males, there are strides being made across the country to help them get into and stay in college. In an effort to provide vision, leadership and innovation we are seeking to create a support program to increase persistence and retention rates of underperforming students. African-American males face several challenges in achieving at the college level including academic preparedness, commitment to educational goals, campus climate, mentors and financial aid. It is our hope that a support program will increase student success. 4. Attachments: EM Summary by Term report for the appropriate discipline or cluster of disciplines.
