If it will be necessary to add faculty in order to begin the program, give the desired qualifications of the persons to be added, with a timetable for adding new faculty and plan for funding new positions. Though no new faculty are required to begin the program, delivery of the full range of courses will necessitate addition of 1 Y2 faculty members in the second and third years of the program. By FY 2012 the addition of an historian with a non-Western specialty will be required. By FY 2013, needs will mandate the addition of Y2 of a position shared by the Museum of Agriculture, a librarian/archivist who 19 I i
will have teaching responsibilities in the BA/BS programs. These positions will be filled through attrition or internal reassignment. 14. Fiscal, Facilities, Enrollment Impact, and Estimated Budget a. Provide a narrative that explains how current institutional resources will be expended specifically for this program. Provide a narrative that explains how the institution will fiscally support the establishment of the new program through the redirection of existing resources and acquisition of new resources. Indicate whether the institution will submit a request for new funds as part of its budget request. The narrative also needs to explain the basis of the institution's projections with regard to anticipated EFT, head count, student enrollment, estimated expenditures, and projected revenues. Existing facilities and qualified faculty already on staff will render the BA/BS in History and Political Science relatively inexpensive to initiate. The largest expected new expenditure will be $21,000 per year allocated for part-time faculty to cover 10 courses ($2100/3 credit hours) vacated by fulltime faculty who will teach upper division courses. The addition of a fulltime faculty member in the second year (non-Western specialist historian) and }'2 of a faculty position in the second year (librarian to be shared with the Museum of Agriculture) will be funded through attrition and internal reassignment and redirection. These faculty will also assume several courses vacated by fulltime faculty who teach upper division courses. This program will not require an increase in state appropriations. The second year of the program should be the highest cost year because of the addition of a fulltime faculty position (as already noted, covered by internal attrition and redirection). The total cost of the new program FY 2014 is $141,638, more than off-set by anticipated revenue from new enrollment of $198,650. No new facilities or equipment are required. The start-up funds in the first year will come from reallocation of current state funding. Sasaki Associates, a master-planning firm from Boston, Mass., has determined that the college has classroom space to handle extra student growth. Because the Liberal Arts faculty deliver the largest number of core curriculum classes in all disciplines, adequate classroom space is allocated to the School of Liberal Arts in 5 buildings across campus for these courses. ABAC already supports a schedule that begins at 8:00 a.m. and runs until 9:30 p.m. New courses will be threaded into the existing schedule. The new ABAC Lakeside complex and ABAC Place apartments provide housing for current and future students. The library facilities, dining facilities, and the Health Center at the new Health Sciences building are sufficient to serve new students. The college has a successful Academic Achievement Center where students receive free tutoring in all courses taught on campus. All Liberal Arts classrooms in Conger Hall, King Hall, Bowen Hall, the Music Building, and Ag Sciences, where all course delivery will take place, were equipped in 2003 with the most up-to-date, technologybased instructional hardware, including the following: a PC, CD/DVD drive, VCR access, data projector with input from the previous sources, remote mouse, projection screens (five feet in width), and connectivity to Local Area Network (LAN) and the Internet. In addition nearly every classroom has a document camera, which allows display of transparencies, 3D objects, texts, etc. Classroom technology is maintained and upgraded regularly. The History and Political Science classes delivered at the college are already among the most technologically enhanced on campus. All faculty employ websites and WebCT to offer students constant access to handouts, PowerPoint presentations, and other supplementary materials. The School of Liberal Arts provides two technology liaisons as constant first response to technology needs arising in classrooms and faculty offices. 20
