| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | Chemistry offerings have increase by 25% over the last five years and our courses close out at 100% occupancy. Having two full time faculty to meet the demands of more than 1200 students annually is inadequate and does not support the goals or initiatives of the college. We plan to expanded our chemistry offerings at NEC which will require a full-time instructors presence there (for safety and inventory needs). It is imperative that the department secure a full time instructor to maintain the high level of excellence and safety that we demand in our chemistry classes. It is unclear how many students are turned away each semester since tour courses are all full and closed. |
|---|
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | The classes will be covered by adjunct faculty or not offered. It is difficult to find quality part-time teachers with the appropriate level of chemistry experience, availability (daytime) and dedication. Maintenance, safety, students advising and upkeep of the lab space is difficult with part-time coverage. |
|---|
| Department Goals | Provide a high quality, rigorous and meaningful Engineering curricula which will prepare students for transfer to upper division universities. , Provide a high quality, rigorous and meaningful Astronomy, Geology, Chemistry, Physics and Physical Science curricula which will support SUNY’s general education requirements as well as the requirements of students seeking degrees that are outside of the , Hire, develop and retain diverse, high quality faculty and staff to engage and support students in science, engineering and architectural education, research and development., Be recognized as having the most outstanding science, engineering and architectural programs among our peers locally and regionally. |

How will the initiative support this institutional goal? |
- ACADEMIC MASTER PLAN 2010-2015
|
Having more than two full time faculty to serve more than 1200 students annually will allow adequate time to develop and maintain quality and currency |
- STRATEGIC PLAN 2009-2014
- Priority III: Provide adequate resources to allow the College to realize its strategic goals
|
finding qualified chemistry teachers to cover daytime offerings is difficult. |
- COLLEGE GOALS as of 2011
- 1. To provide high quality academic courses and programs that prepare a diverse student population to achieve its educational, employment and enrichment goals.
|
Having two full time faculty serve more than 1200 students annually does not allow for time to develop and maintain academic quality
|
|
|
full time staff work with and advise studnets |
|
|
We are limited in the number of daytime section by the availability of instructors |
