 * Add ideas about faculty and staff. List needs and data to support need.**

Preface: With 10 new starts in every semester over the last 2 years, we should consider each course to be taught 2x per year.

- Yes, I agree. We do need at least a new full time faculty. - The new faculty line was approved before, yet no new faculty has been recruited.
 * 1. We need FT faculty at full load (have and have overload) and as many adjuncts to fill the offerings**

- One for lab assistance - One for IT programs (Masters, Specialists, and Doctoral Instructional Technology and Leadership programs)
 * 2. Student worker**

- Dave may have better idea how many we need.
 * 3. Adjuncts based on 5 year chart**

A full-time faculty member was approved in 2003. Accountants from Central Administration informed program directors that sufficient funds were sent from Central to the SOE for more than one faculty member. When the IT doctoral program was approved, it was approved with the FT faculty line. Currently, we use 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3 3 27 adjunct credits in the Spring, 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 30 in the Fall Semester and 3 3 3 1 1 11 adjunct credits in the Summer. Full time faculty load is distributed with hard credits as


 * || Summer || Spring || Fall || Total ||
 * Adjunct Credits || 11 || 27 || 30 || 68 ||

Each faculty member also has sufficient soft credits through dissertation chair positions, dissertation committee positions, documented research agenda, program leadership, and/or university-level appointments.
 * || Summer || Spring || Fall || Total ||
 * Faculty #1 || 6 || 3 || 6 || 15 ||
 * Faculty #2 || 3 || 6 || 6 || 15 ||
 * Faculty #3 || 9 || 13 || 13 || 35 ||

Given a newly hired faculty member will probably be on a 15 cr/year load, we could use 3 more FT faculty members for the next 7-8 years, with the balance of credits (68-45) to be taught by adjuncts. As all 3 FT tenure-track faculty members matriculate through T/P, it may be possible to raise some of the load to 21 credits each and reduce some adjunct costs. Of the 5 faculty members in the Program in 8 years, some may elect the 15cr/AY schedule and some may elect the 21cr/AY schedule.
