Initiative Title | Full Time Tenure Track Chemistry Instructors |
---|---|
Submitted in Previous Year(s) | No |
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | In 2021 two FT chemists retired leaving the department woefully understaffed in this area. Chemistry offerings have held relatively steady during the pandemic and our courses close out at 95% occupancy. Currently 85% of the chemistry offering are taught by adjuncts. |
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. |

|
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 |
|
finding qualified chemistry teachers to cover daytime offerings is difficult. |
|
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 |
