We
will increase the number of full-time tenured and tenure-track
faculty; reduce the number of extraneous course sections
and special topic offerings; and consolidate or terminate
some graduate programs and redeploy faculty to teach undergraduate
courses. Adjunct teaching in doctoral programs will be eliminated
and will not exceed 5 percent of courses offered at the
master’s level. All adjunct faculty must qualify for
our “in-residence” status that requires involvement
in the university beyond teaching one or two courses. The
total size of the regular faculty will be adjusted to fit
the size of the student body, the replacement of adjunct
faculty, and the reduction of some graduate programs and
expansion of others.
