| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | Full time support person: The Honors Program is now staffed by the program coordinator, with help from a ten hour a week seasonal employee. In the spring 2007 program evaluation conducted by Dr. Joan Digby, her main concern was staffing. She recommends two part-time people, with the idea that this must grow as the program expands. In speaking with Dr. Richards, his vision of the program is to grow ten-fold over the next five years, which means a total of approximately 350 students. |
|---|
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | At the present time, the growth suggested by the president is impossible to do without a supporting infrastructure. One faculty member with 9 hours per year of re-assigned time and a ten hour per week clerk are not sufficient to the current needs. No-one is available to answer phones, field questions, help students with day-to-day concerns, etc. The coordinator, with help as is possible, is currently doing all recruiting, program development, advising of all students, maintaining facilities, record keeping, meeting day-to-day student and faculty needs, attending all college events, etc., which most often involves late hours during the semester and working during the summer. |
