| Initiative Title | 1C and 2A (View VP Note) Two full-time tenure track Mathematics Faculty position, one for Middletown and one for Newburgh |
|---|
| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | No |
|---|
| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | With the increase in enrollment expected forNewburgh the Newburgh position will be required to maintain standards and to ensure the ability to offer needed courses.
The Middletown Mathematics Department had 28 different adjuncts in the Spring 2010 semester. Some of these should be converted to full-time positions to ensure adequate coverage of classes, high quality teaching, representation on goverance committees and in general a higher level of involvement with students.
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. |
