Faculty: Special Reports
Instructional Personnel Costs Information: Fall 2008
Based on the Academic Planning Data Base submitted to and approved by the Chancellor’s Office and the human resources information, this data set contains the personnel costs directly associated with instruction. The salary calculations are based on the information available in the University Library, Deans’ offices, and Human Resources office. Data is tabulated by college, department, and individual instructor.
Terms in the Tables:
- Instructional WTU: Weighted Teaching Units for the semester, including instruction of non-supervision and supervision courses. For example, a lecture class that meets three hours per week generates 3 WTUs.
- Student Credit Units (SCUs): Number of student units taught by the faculty. For 3-unit courses, you can calculate the total number of students by dividing the SCUs by 3. For example, a 3-unit course with 90 SCUs has 30 enrolled students.
- Full-Time Equivalent Students (FTES): One FTES equals 15 SCUs.
- Half-Year Actual Salary: Half-year actual pay received by the faculty. Temporary instructors receive a fraction of their base salary depending on number of units taught.
- Half-Year Instructional Salary: Half-year actual pay is adjusted by REMOVING externally funded assigned- time WTUs from the salary calculation. Externally funded assigned-time is assigned-time reimbursed by sources external to the colleges, such as national and state grants, RCA, PEA, sabbaticals, and Academic Affairs funded assigned-time. For example, a 3-unit externally funded assigned time reduces the salary for instruction by 25 percent based on the 12WTU instructional load.
University
Faculty Teaching Assignment Information: Fall 2008/Spring 2009
Based on the Academic Planning Data Base submitted to and approved by the Chancellor’s Office after the Census Date each semester, these tables are listed by departments. Faculty members are listed alphabetically along with the courses and sections they taught, student course credits, section enrollment, and FTE.
Terms in the Tables:
- Student Course Credits: Number of student credit units assigned to a course. For non-supervisory courses, 3-unit is the norm.
- Enrollment: Number of students enrolled in the course.
- FTE: Full-Time Equivalent students. One FTE students (FTES) equals to 15 student credit units for Undergraduates and 12 student credit units for Graduates. For example, five students enrolled in a 3-unit course generates one FTES (5 X 3 = 15). Most of the funding from the State is based on FTES of the campuses.
- WTU: Weighted Teaching Units. This is the time base calculation used by human resources. Full-time faculty members in CSU generally have 12 WTUs for direct instruction and 3 WTUs for advising students, participation in campus and system-wide committees, maintaining office hours, working collaboratively and productively with colleagues and participation in traditional academic functions.
Full-Time/Part-Time Faculty Ratios
There are multiple ways to tabulate and report the ratio between full-time and part- time faculty. The tables in this data contain four different tabulations of the ratio. The ratios are aggregated at the levels of department, college, and the University.
- Faculty Headcount: Total number of faculty listed as full-time, FERP, part-time, and teaching assistant.
- FTEF (Full-Time Equivalent Faculty): Units used in the calculation of faculty numbers. For example, a full-time faculty equals one FTEF and a faculty on FERP equals 0.5 FTEF. All part-time faculty members and teaching assistants are calculated as a fraction of the total WTU (Weighted Teaching Units). For example, a part-time instructor teaching 6 units counts for 0.5 FTEF (6 WTU / 12 WTU = 0.5 FTEF ).
- Instructional FTEF: Numbers include only the faculty members with workload in classroom or supervisory instruction.
- FTES (Full-Time Equivalent Students): Sum of Student Credit Units (SCU) divided by 15 or 12, depending on the student status. For example, 5 students enrolled in a 3-unit course generate 1 FTES for undergraduate students. Starting Fall 2006, FTES is SCU divided by 12 for graduate students and SCU divided by 15 for undergraduate students.
FTES, FTEF Course Data by College
These tables contain FTES, FTEF, numbers of sections, and average section sizes by the University total, undergraduate, and graduate.
Terms in the Tables:
- FTES: Full-Time Equivalent Students. One Nongraduate FTE Student (FTES) equals 15 student credit units. For example, five students enrolled in a 3-unit course generates one FTES (5 x 3 = 15). Beginning Fall 2006, Grad level students FTES is calculated based on 12 students credit units. Most of the funding from the State is based on FTES of the campuses.
- FTEF: Full-Time Equivalent Faculty. Units used in the calculation of faculty numbers. For example, a full-time faculty equals one FTEF and a faculty on FERP epuals 0.5 FTEF.
