College StrategicGoalsdocuments.

1)Student population growth has impacted the Math Department’s ability to offer a full range of mathematics courses.

2)Adjuncts are not readily available in Kern County.

3)Waitlists are full for every offered math class. (See Trend Data Analysis section IV b)

4)Math courses are pre-requisite for a variety of programs. Students will not be able to proceed with educational plans unless they can get into a math course.

5)Help meet goal: 1.6 (KCCD 1.2) Increase the percentage of students who, within a one-year period, successfully complete English or Math courses both one level below transfer and at the transfer level.

6)The Mathematics Department (Main Campus and Delano) currently generates 1,616.5 FTES and generates approximately $8,082,500 at $5000 per FTES.

7)To support student success, the STEM-IT program, and also the completion agenda, we must be able to maintain or even offer more sections of math classes for our students.

INTERNAL REVIEW OF POSITION

  1. Explain why the work cannot be reassigned to other staff within the department

1)Our adjuncts are used to their maximum load, and in one case, special permission was received to have an adjunct teach a load over 0.667.

2)Because classes like Math B22 and Math B2 had course units changed from 5 to 4, full-time math faculty have to teach more classes to make their 15 load hours for full time.

  1. Impact on College/District if position is not filled

1)At least three to four math classes per semester will not be offered. This will affect 105 to 140 students a semester which is approximately 17.5 to 23.3 FTES.

  1. Is a temporary employee currently performing the work of this position?

x Yes No

  1. New position: How is the work assigned to this position presently accomplished?
