Rationale for your proposal. Please use the enrollment management data. Additional data that will strengthen your rationale include FTES trends over the last 5 years, persistence, FT/PT faculty ratios,
CLO and PLO assessment results and external accreditation demands.
Since our last hire we have lost an equivalent to four full-time faculty positions. All our transfer students need to take a college level math course. We need a faculty member who can lead the division for the liberal arts pathway. Not all mathematicians have a strong statistical background, so we would like to add another faculty member to teach statistics. It is difficult to find adjunct faculty with a statistical background.
Time frame Average / Actual Full-time FTEF % to Part-time
FTEF %
Spring 2009 thru Spring 2012
Summer 2011 to Spring 2012
Average
Actual
53.5% to 46.5%
48.7% to 51.3%
Summer 2012 to Spring 2013 Actual 45.6% to 54.4%
From the above chart you can see that over the last few years, our full-time to part-time ratio has dropped considerably lower than the state requirement of 75 to 25. This is over a time period when we have not hired as many adjuncts as we have offered fewer classes. As we start adding classes back to the schedule, the ratio will be even more startling.
