Full Time Tenure Track Chemistry Instructors



Initiative TitleFull 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.

Institutional Goals

Goal How will the initiative support this institutional goal?
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
