B.11.7. Adequate Staffing Levels : Department staffing levels should be
B.11.7.1. Sufficient to allow personal interaction between trainee and instructor to occur in all courses,
B.11.7.2. To give tenure-track faculty adequate time to meet tenure expectations,
B.11.7.3. To allow faculty to engage in scholarship consistent with departmental expectations,
B.11.7.4. To meet work assignment expectations similar to those of peer departments at comparable institutions. Many MET programs today tend to have too large a percentage of part-time faculty, and, over time, should convert part-time positions into full-time positions. This fosters the participation of a greater percentage of faculty in the work of the department.
