Initiative Title | 1C and 2A (View VP Note) One NEW and One RESTORED full-time tenure track Mathematics Faculty position, one for Middletown and one for Newburgh |
Submitted in Previous Year(s) | 2009-2010 |
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | The following is a list of day sections taught by adjuncts.
2005/2006 academic year: fall 27 day courses spring: 19 day courses
2006/2007 academic year: fall 32 day courses spring: 23 day courses
2007/2008 academic year: fall 35 day courses spring: 32 day courses
2008/2009 academic year: fall 39 day courses spring: 39 day courses
Note: The restored position would be for Judi Schwartz. When she became chair her full-time tenure track position was never filled.
For the 2009 spring semester 39 courses is equivalent to 7 + full time faculty members. In both the fall and spring semesters of 2008/2009 academic year new last minute classes were opened. There was a greater demand for new classes but we could not open up any more classes due to lack of qualified day adjuncts.
Many of our day adjuncts are retired public school teachers. As this population ages it is expected that many will stop teaching. |
Consequences of this initiative not being funded | 1. It is increasingly hard to find qualified day adjuncts to teach Mathematics courses, expecially at the Newburgh campus. Our ability to offer courses will be affected if we do not have more full time tenure track positions.
2. Day Mathematics classes will have to be cancelled because of the lack of qualified day adjuncts.
3. Representation on governance committees wil be affected if we do not increase the number of full time faculty.
4. A decline in standards wil occur if the number of adjuncts continues to increase. |
