final version of the self-study document - Keuka College's Middle ...

A systems management component that allows the IT Department to manage the
system more efficiently
A retention alert system tied to attendance and grade notification
A dashboard capability on everything from enrollment information to faculty
teaching load
A mobile application for student access
Most of the system was fully implemented by June of 2012. Although early results
indicate that efficiencies have been realized, it is too early to determine the level of
efficiency achieved. The obvious advantages of the system capabilities assure that
students, faculty members, staff, and administration will have much more access to
information. It is the timely access to information that will allow all involved to be more
effective in their decision-making and efficient in providing accurate assistance to those
constituents that they are serving.
4. As a result of the growing enrollment of on-campus students and the demand for alternate
housing options, the College has invested in several property purchases to address
housing needs. Two small, private College rental properties were converted to student
housing. The College also purchased the Strong Hall Apartments and Keuka Park
Apartments, and the College entered into a one-year lease (2011-2012) with a local
developer for a 5-unit apartment complex to be used until the Keuka Park Apartments
were ready in 2012-13. The Building Occupancy Projections document is used to make
the necessary housing decisions (Appendix 2.27 Building Occupancy Spreadsheet and
Appendix 2.28 Five- Year Housing Forecast). In addition to providing increased housing
capacity to accommodate enrollment growth, the purchase of the apartment complexes
has allowed for more housing choices for undergraduate and graduate students seeking
alternatives to the standard residence halls, and the apartments can also be used for
summer programming and conference service rentals.
5. Increased enrollment has also created challenges with finding adequate classroom space,
faculty, and staff offices. In 2007, the College leased space in the Keuka Office Park,
approximately 4 miles north of the main campus. The space rented was initially 7,700
square feet and has been expanded to 10,200 square feet, with additional room for
expansion, if needed. This space is the primary location for the Center for Professional
Studies and International Programs (CPSIP), which administers all of the ASAP,
Distance Education, and overseas International Programs.
With the acquisition of the adjacent Strong Hall Apartments, Keuka also acquired a 3,000
square foot building that was converted to two additional 50-seat classrooms.
6. Another effect of an increase in enrollment is the increase in compensation expenses, the
result of hiring additional faculty and staff. In 2007-08 Keuka had 257 FTE employees,
and by 2010-11, the number grew to 305, an increase of 48 employees or 18.7%. In
addition, the payroll grew from $12.0M in 2007-08 to $16.6 M in 2011-2012. This
represents an increase of $4.6 M or 38%. Tables 2.6 and 2.7 below show a comparison
between Keuka College faculty compensation and that of the AAUP IIB Church Related
