  1. Student to Faculty Ratio vs Class Size Faculty Senate January 16, 2008 Kathy Van Laningham

  2. Calculation of Student to Faculty Ratio • Benchmark Data on Ratio • Reporting on Class Sizes • Benchmark Data on Class Size

  3. Student to Faculty Ratio • A broad, university-wide calculation measuring instructional resources against student enrollment • FTE students to FTE faculty

  4. FTE Student Calculation FTE Students = All Full-time students (enrolled in 12 or more hours) + 1/3 of all Part-time students enrolled in fewer than 12 hours). 2007 Full -time students = 14,003 Part-time students = 3,338 FTE = 14,003+(3,338/3) = 15,115.67

  5. FTE Faculty Calculation FTE Faculty = All Full-time instructors of record (100% appointment) + 1/3 of all Part-time instructors of record (99% and below appointment). Full-time administrators, e.g., Deans, Chancellors, count as part-time for this calculation. 2007 Full-time Instructors = 799 Part-time Instructors = 251 FTE = 799+(251/3) = 882.67

  6. Former Calculation of FTE Faculty for Student to Faculty Ratio • Until consultation with the Southern University Group representatives last fall, FTE Faculty was based on a definition of Faculty regardless of whether they were teaching. • Created problems with those on OCDA and LWOP as well as ignoring those in other titles, e.g., Dean, who were teaching but not holding a faculty title

  7. Calculating Class Size • To determine undergraduate class size, IR reviews section numbers, course method, course location of all undergraduate classes to identify “Organized” classes from ISIS data • Cross-listed and team-taught classes are merged to avoid double-counting of classes and undercounting the number of students in the class • Classes must have an enrollment greater than 1 to be included • Subsections include labs, drills, and practica that bear separate credit.
