Steve Chambers presented information to the Senate concerning the enrollment statistics President Hughes had asked him to gather. President Hughes wants all of us to understand that student retention is an issue for the entire campus community. There are nearly 1,000 fewer students charged full tuition and fees. We offer more classes for fewer students. The number of sections enrolling to capacity is cut in half.
Sections still operate below capacity.
Full-time faculty spend on the average of 7 hours in the classroom teaching. Senator Linda Black reported that the Program Discontinuance Committee met to adjust the document according to the suggestions made by Regents attorney Ted Ayres. The changes were accepted by the Senate. Once his suggestions have been incorporated into the document, the amended document will be put on the Web page for the general constituency to vote on. It will then be sent to President Hughes for his approval.
