There is only one full-time faculty member left since the retirement of the other
full-time faculty in June 2011. The full-time faculty member is required to coordinate
Anthropology sections each semester, and is generally responsible for all curricular and
administrative duties. Her responsibilities will increase, when the AA-degree is stateapproved, and the AA-T degree is finalized.

Note: The averages for spring 2009 through fall 2012 are not accurate because the
number of sections recorded for spring 2009 for ANTH 1, 1L, 2, 3, 5, and 8 is incorrect.
Therefore, the average number of sections offered (16) for spring 2009-fall 2012 is
incorrect. Also, fall 2011 values were not included, and summer 2012 values were not
recorded.

The off-campus Anthropology 3 section offered at a high school is not included here.
While several adjunct faculty have been 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.
Our students need more support. Due to an increased interest in the discipline last year, a
number of students have formed an active anthropology club. The current full-time
faculty member is the Club advisor
4. Statements about the alignment with the strategic plan and your student learning
goals are required. Indicate here any information from advisory committees or outside
accreditation reviews that is pertinent to the proposal.
The current lack of full-time faculty severely hampers our functioning as a discipline,
especially since we have proposed an AA degree that still awaits state approval, and will
develop an AA-T degree in 2013. 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. The demands placed on the full-time faculty also limits her participation in
outside workshops and conferences, and the time to explore alternate sources of funding
for various projects that would support student persistence and success.

The addition of a full-time faculty would satisfy the following:
1. Integrate and streamline pathways (Strategic goal #6).
2. Create opportunities for pathway teams to collaborate (Strategic goal #2).
3. Development of a mentoring program (Strategic goal #3).
4. Build pathway-learning communities to support students (Strategic goal #7).
5. Secure funding to support various proposals that support student persistence and
success (Strategic goal #8).
