Table 4.6 Future Projections for Students, Staff, & Faculty (Click for larger image)
Table 4.6 summarizes future projections for the college’s students, staff and faculty. This table summarizes the total count of workstations (WS) occupied by staff/faculty. This includes a factor to convert part-time staff as well as students who work, into a “full” work station equivalent.
Table 4.6 outlines faculty and staff projections by academic and administrative units.
The 1997 Master Plan identified a target faculty-to-student (FTE) ratio of 12:1 by 2007. The current ratio is 18.3:1. Based on budget constraints, the consulting team assumed that 12:1 is not realistic. However, for the university to reach its goal as a leading research institution, faculty/student ratio improvements are needed. Therefore, a target ratio of 15.9:1 by 2015 was established and used as a basis for the projections in Table 4.6.
