| The responsibility for enhancing educational excellence, access, diversity, and financial stability shall be shared by the state, the California State University system, the campuses, our faculty and staff, and students. |
| Recommendations | Current Status | Constituencies | Priorities | Actions |
| 8a. The CSU must continue relentlessly to pursue state general funding to meet the core needs of the institution. | Systemwide. | | | |
| 8b. Steps need to be taken to develop a stable long-term student fee and financial aid policy as part of a long-term funding compact with the State of California. | | | | |
| 8c. ...Productivity increases seem particularly likely if retirements occur as anticipated, and an increased proportion of replacement faculty are hired into tenure or tenure-track positions at junior levels. An additional element of the strategy is the commitment to integrate faculty replacement planning with faculty development policies and resources to expand professional development for CSU faculty. | Also need to use large lecture spaces.
Need to provide dollars to support new faculty we hire. | | | Dollars from this source needed to support 4a, 4b. |
| 8d. Policies to guide how reinvestment and development occurs must be developed at both the system and the campus levels as part of the university's long-range policy and planning efforts. | | | | |
| 8e. Other options to increase productivity include reductions in remedial education costs, increased administrative efficiencies, and a reduced time-to-degree afforded through better counseling and course scheduling. CSU faculty should also examine the porspects for increased productivity through the use of teaching techniques that effectively employ technology. | Remediation policy will cost us more initially.
Faculty Senate should examine GE requirements, academic policies, advising.
Evaluation of transfer student transcripts needs to be improved.
Thrust of competency based learning will move us away from units as requirements. | | High | |
