dual credit and

and maintain

Hire one to

faculty which
will decrease
the FT to PT

new FT
faculty will
also alleviate
the shortage
of PT faculty
and prevent
overloading of
the PT faculty
scheduled. It
will also
prevent
having to hire
lecturerships
at the last
minute for
lack of on

faculty and
lack of
potential PT
faculty in the

6 FT faculty
would
decrease the
