1.2.5. Faculty Governance

1.2.5.1.

Faculty governance is a process determined by the Residential Faculty. It is understood that Residential Faculty has responsibility for such areas as curriculum, subject matter and methods of instruction, research, faculty status, and those aspects of student life which relate to the educational process.

1.2.2. College Staffing Advisory Committee.

1.2.2.1. (Committee Membership)

The College/Center Staffing Advisory Committee consists of the appropriate instructional administrator and at least four (4) faculty members appointed by the College Faculty Senate president. The instructional administrator will be a nonvoting member of this committee.

1.2.2.2. (Mandated Procedures)

The College/Center Staffing Advisory Committee will consult with Department/ Division Chairpersons and other appropriate personnel in order to make recommendations on the staffing of residential faculty positions. The committee’s recommendations will be delivered to the College President/Provost.

5.2. Residential Instructional Staff Positions

5.2.2.

The individual colleges (except Rio Salado), during the day program, shall be staffed at 90% of the projected enrollment with Residential Faculty. Nonresidential faculty employed to replace residential faculty on leave or in reduced-load assignments will not be considered in computing this ratio. However, for the purpose of department/division growth, flexibility, and unusual staffing requirements, any college may utilize additional qualified nonresidential personnel. Requests of department/division chairpersons will be forwarded to the college staffing committee for review and recommendation for the College President/Provost. The college staffing committee will then be informed by the College President/Provost of any subsequent decision.

5.2.4.

If FTSE, adjusted by academic, occupational, and health ratios, based on an averaged 45-day count of the preceding Fall and Spring term, produces a FTTE of less than 90% of the College’s previous year’s FTTE, the College will be considered to be overstaffed. Should this condition occur, a study of the factors relating to the condition shall be made by the College Staffing Committee, and appropriate administrative action will be taken.
