Lecturer Faculty Responses

Theme 1: Educational Effectiveness (Spring 2006 Campus WASC Survey)

Lecturer faculty agreed with administrators that establishing strategic priorities was the most important strategy and establishing a vision was second. However, they selected addressing and solving problems as the third most important strategy and updating technology as the fourth.

Managing the budget and managing growth were also endorsed by at least 20% of lecturer faculty, as was program review and assessment. The remaining strategies were not as important, relatively speaking, to the majority of lecturer faculty (Table 1-3).
