Initiative Title	Course Coordination Stipend
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	2021
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	This initiative is a request for a stipend to compensate a lead faculty member to oversee and coordinate multiple sections of Introduction to Biology (BIO 110). This multi-section course is a 'gateway' course for students pursuing careers in the Health Professions and is a prerequisite to our Anatomy and Physiology course sequence. Currently over 30 sections (lecture and lab) are offered each semester and are taught by four (4) full-time faculty and multiple adjuncts. Sections are taught at both Middletown and Newburgh and are offered at accessible times - days, evenings, Saturdays and online in various remote formats. A custom lab manual was developed by course faculty (Ely, Vacura) which will need periodic editing and updates to incorporate new lab exercises. Given the importance of this course as a foundation course preparing students for careers in the Health Professions, the large number of sections offered and students served and the need to coordinate and assess instructional activities involving ten-plus (10+) faculty a stipend (similar to the one for our A & P coordinator) is warranted Duties of the coordinator/lead instructor would include semester-by-semester syllabus updates, coordination of book orders and OER oversight of lab manual revisions, observation of adjunct teaching (and mentoring as appropriate) and overall coordination of course-related assessment activity.
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	Currently, essential activities are performed by non-compensated course lead faculty (Ely, Vacura) but it is not possible for class evaluations, mentoring of adjunct faculty and course assessment activities to be performed as often and meaningfully as such a critical, gateway course demands. Creation of a stipend-supported course coordinator position would provide to some level of comprehensive overview as in A & P where such a position has been funded for 15 years.
