Campus Goal Enrollment
Solution Strategy Reduce sections/increase class size
Note
  • Impacts: If done minimally, this should not impact the current enrollment. However if such measures become significant, student success will be impacted accordingly. We have employed this strategy only for courses that have a large number of sections. Thus the end result will be fewer options for students.  
Campus Goal Student Retention and Graduation
Solution Strategy Cancel low enrolled or non-required courses
Note
  • Impacts: In general, class cancellation may lead to fewer opportunities for students to enroll in required courses, prolonging the time to graduation.
Campus Goal Enhancing the Quality of Faculty and Staff
Solution Strategy Reduce sections/increase class size
Note
  • Impacts: The teaching load of full time faculty will increase to the limit, leaving little room for  important services such as advising and valuable scholarly activities. With numerous vacancies on the faculty, the expertise of the part timers, of whom many are industry experts, will be lost.

Campus Goal Fiscal Resources and Quality Improvement
Solution Strategy Reduce operating expense and equipment expenditures
Note
  • Impacts: Base reduction will further enhance the college's operational, equipment and computer exigency.  The college is currently using most of its carryover funds to offset a small portion of this need.  The college will not be able to backfill the loss of budget recovery plan non-base funds, which will further impact the college's operational and equipment condition.  Restoration of these funds are critically needed in order to continue to offer quality education to our students.
