I. INSTRUCTIONAL FACULTY AND CLASS SIZE

Please report number of faculty members in each category for Fall 2007.

I1. The following definition of instructional faculty is used by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) in its annual Faculty Compensation Survey. Instructional Faculty is defined as those members of the instructional-research staff whose major regular assignment is instruction, including those with released time for research. Institutions are asked to EXCLUDE:

1. Instructional faculty in Pre-Clinical and clinical medicine.
   
2. Administrative officers with titles such as dean of students, librarian, registrar, coach, and the like, even though they may devote part of their time to classroom instruction and may have faculty status.
   
3. Undergraduate or graduate students who assists in the instruction of courses, but have titles such as teaching assistant, teaching fellow, and the like.
   
4. Faculty on leave without pay
   
5. Replacement faculty for faculty on sabbatical leave.

Full-time: faculty employed on full-time basis.

Part-time: faculty teaching less than two semesters, three quarters, two trimesters, or two four-month sessions. Also includes adjuncts and part-time instructors.

Minority faculty: includes faculty who designate themselves as black, non-Hispanic; American Indian or Alaskan native; Asian or Pacific Islander; or Hispanic.

Doctorate: includes Ph.D., Ed.D in education, DMA in musical arts, DBA in Business Administration, D.Eng or DES in Engineering.

First-professional: includes in the fields of dentistry (DDS or DMD), medicine (MD), optometry (OD), osteopathic medicine (DO), pharmacy (DPharm or BPharm), podiatric medicine (DPM), veterinary medicine (DVM), chiropractic (DC or DCM), law (JD) and theological professions (MDiv, MHL).

Terminal Degree: the highest degree in a field: example M.Arch (architecture) and MFA (Master of Fine Arts).

Student to Faculty Ratio

I2. Report the Fall 2007 ratio of full-time equivalent students (full-time plus 1/3 part time) to full-time equivalent instructional faculty. In the ratio calculations, exclude both faculty and students in stand-alone graduate or professional programs such as medicine, law, veterinary, social work, business, or public health in which faculty teach virtually only graduate-level students. Do not count graduate student teaching assistants as faculty.

Undergraduate Class Size

I3. In the chart below, please use the following definitions to report information about the size of classes and class sections offered in the Fall 2007 term.

Class Sections: A class section is an organized course offered for credit, identified by discipline and number, meeting at a stated time or times in a classroom or similar setting, and not a subsection such as a laboratory or discussion session. Undergraduate class sections are defined as any sections in which at least one degree-seeking undergraduate student is enrolled for credit. Exclude distance learning classes and noncredit classes and individual instruction such as dissertation or thesis research, music instruction, or one-to-one readings. Exclude students in independent study, co-operative programs, internships, foreign language taped tutor sessions, practicum, and all students in one-on-one classes. Each class section should be counted only once and should not be duplicated because of cross-listings (i.e. multiple course catalog listings).

Class Subsections: A class subsection includes any subsection of a course, such as laboratory, recitation, and discussion subsections that are supplementary in nature and are scheduled to meet separately from the lecture portion of the course. Undergraduate subsections are defined as any subsections of courses in which degree-seeking undergraduate students enrolled for credit As above, exclude noncredit classes and individual instruction such as dissertation or thesis research, music instruction, or one-to-one readings. Each class subsection should be counted only once and should not be duplicated because of cross-listings (i.e., multiple course catalog listings).

Using the above definitions, please report for each of the following class-size intervals the number of organized class sections and class subsections offered in Fall 2007. For example, a lecture class with 800 students who met at another time in 40 separate labs with 20 students each should be counted once in the "100+" column in the class sections table and 40 times under the "20-29" column of the class subsections table.
