The faculty composition will be consistent with the mission of the Department of General Business and Finance.
Objective
Faculty Composition
The composition of the department's faculty will be adequate to support the mission of the department.
Indicator
Faculty Qualifications
Percent of classes taught by academically qualified (AQ), professionally qualified (PQ), and/or both AQ/PQ faculty.
Criterion
Academically Qualified
At least 50% of the faculty will meet criteria for "academically qualified".
Finding
AQ FACULTY
For 2006-2007, 53.57% of the classes were taught by AQ faculty. One faculty member was on sick leave for the S07 semester that required pool faculty to teach 3 sections. The additional numbers are due to pool faculty used to teach sections to meet demand before AQ faculty can be hired.
Criterion
Professionally Qualified
At least 90% of faculty will meet the criteria to be AQ, PQ, or both.
Finding
AQ/PQ Faculty
There were 83.93% of the classes taught by either by AQ, PQ or both AQ and PQ faculty. The unexpected loss of an PQ adjunct and the pool faculty required to replace the 3 sections left open due to an AQ faculty member's sick leave reduced the level below the 90% level.

The faculty must meet department standards defining effective researchers.
Indicator
