Full Time Tenure Track Geology Instructor



Initiative TitleFull Time Tenure Track Geology Instructor
Submitted in Previous Year(s)2016
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale

Hire a full-time tenure track Geologist/Geochemist to replace Lawrence O'Brien (retired sp 2016) and to help with the increase in demand for chemistry/geology offerings and both Middletown and Newburgh.  We have developed a new 3 credit (2lect/2lab) intro to geology course (Earth Science) designed specifically for liberal arts students.  Fall 2017 saw two sections running with full enrollment. We will be offering three sections in the spring 2018 (one is on the Newburgh campus). Currently all of our geology offerings are university level designed for transfer into a geology program.

Consequences of this initiative not being funded

 The classes will be covered by adjunct faculty (if they can be found) or not offered. It is difficult to find quality part-time teachers with the appropriate level of geology experience (particularly for daytime courses). Maintenance, safety, student advising and upkeep of the rock lab space on two campuses is difficult with part-time coverage.
