Baseline Measures

Response

Discussion

The number and percentage of departments with procedures for ordering print-based instructional materials for late-hire faculty

 

N

We do not feel this is a valid measure since departments will be required to use the same process defined in Section 1 to order textbooks for these courses. It will be up to the department chair to ensure that textbooks are ordered.

The number and percentage of departments that are meeting the specified deadline

 

See above

This data will be included in the measure for Section 1. A separate measure for late hires may not be meaningful. Departments consistently failing to meet deadlines will be reported to the provost and dean on a quarterly or annual basis.

2E. Exemptions/Equally-Effective Access

If a student who requires alternate format print-based instructional materials enrolls in a section for which print-based instructional materials were not selected on behalf of late-hire faculty, how will the campus provide equally-effective access to this material?
