To determine if the faculty of the Washington State Community College System were being efficiently and effectively utilized, a Legislative Budget Committee auditor selected six community colleges for a detailed review. Data selected for review were (1) individual faculty teaching loads and (2) course offerings. The auditor concluded that faculty teaching loads during 1974-75 were commensurate with those determined by union contracts, and that, if the contracts did not specify teaching load, the loads were reasonable when compared to those at colleges that did have specific teaching load standards. He also concluded that the number of course sections that could have been eliminated due to lack of student enrollment during 1974-75 was minimal. The report sets forth the qualifications for personnel, the tenure policy, and average base salaries by district and college; describes the system-level planning and review functions as they relate to utilization of faculty; and makes recommendations for improving the System's planning and review process. It also recommends that the legislature continue to include in the appropriation bill a proviso that limits the number of FTE faculty that can be employed within the System. (DC)
