MINUTES OF THE
COLLEGE LOAD REVIEW COMMITTEE MEETING
19 May 2005
Present: Ms. Anderson, Mr. Key, Dean Lew, Mr. Lloyd, Dr. Schwartz
Teacher Load Summary – Spring 2005
The data on the teacher load summary is not fully accurate. When the second reported
apportionment was submitted, some no shows and drops were not included in the first census.
Therefore, it was discovered that the figures on the teacher load summary that used census data
was higher than actually reported.
The overall WSCH/FTE for spring 2005 is 510 but the goal the College desires to achieve is 530.
It was estimated that approximately 100 FTES in positive attendance apportionment is not being
reported in which the College is losing money. Division deans will need to monitor more closely
in identifying courses that are positive attendance and instruct faculty how to complete the daily
hours for each student.
WSCH/FTE Summary
The WSCFTE summary was distributed to committee members. Actuals and goals may need to
be reviewed. Division goals may not be accurate in the following division/unit:
Learning Resources Unit - no longer has Academic Strategies.
Health Sciences and Athletics - added Nursing, Radiologic Technology and Respiratory Care.
FTES
For the off-campus FTES, 2098 sections were offered for Spring 2005. The 2006 winter session
will offer 185 sections. If the enrollment fills 95-100%, the College should generate over 20,000
FTES. The projected FTES for 2004-05 is 19,546.
First Principal Apportionment
The College experienced growth last year. The cap for 2005-06 will be approximately 19,328.
Next year’s goal is to achieve over 20,000 FTES. This would put the College into a new funding
source with an additional $1 million.
It was noted on the first principal apportionment for 2004-05 that funded supplemental growth
was $2,373,674 which equates to 790 FTES.
Other Items
Teacher Load Summary
It was suggested that the committee review the teacher load summary for each division by
breakdown of department/discipline and establish goals for each department. The goals set years
ago for divisions is no longer valid because some division programs have changed. Goals need
to be set for each department and monitored by the committee on a semester basis.
