Notes:
(1) Includes department chairs and other faculty with administrative
responsibilities.
(2) Learning Support programs are housed with the Dean of
Academic Services and are not an official college or school, but since they have full
-time teaching faculty who generate credit hours, they are reflected here.
(3) The Nursing School was not established until July 1994.
The previous years show the number of nursing faculty for comparison purposes
although prior to 1994 they were part of the School of Science and Mathematics.

HIGHLIGHTS
As the enrollment growth has leveled off in the 1990's so too has
the growth of the full-time faculty.
Most units experienced a substantial increase in full-time faculty over the last five
years; the new general education requirements and rapid growth in the arts and sciences
contributed to the greater growth in those two schools. Education faculty numbers
increased more than others in an institutional effort to satisfy the NCATE standards.
