Class Size Issue
At the November Faculty Exchange of Views, the faculty senate addressed
the issue of class sizes increasing beyond what is listed in the
curriculum outlines. The President responded that the budget cuts
required UNF to cap the number of classes they could offer. This
left students in our community with a need for classes. Dr
Wallace made the decision to meet that need by temporarily allowing
class sizes to increase 10% or to the room capacity, whichever is
smaller. If the class has a capacity of 30, the new capacity
would be 33 if the room could hold it. The faculty senate asked
Dr Wallace for a more complete policy, including what would happen if
the college made a mistake and felt a commitment to put a student in a
class that was already at capacity. The administration is still
working on this policy.
Since this is primarily a matter of appropriate instructor-to-student
ratios and the quality of instruction, the Union feels that it will be
best addressed though the Faculty Senate. If your class size seems to
violate the policy outlined by Dr. Wallace please contact your faculty
senator.
Stephen Milczanowski,
FCCFF President
