Physics Short Range Plan

Goals

Create a 1-2 page document that advocates the hiring of new physics faculty at the associates level.

Outline Arguments

  1. Compare Department performance in 2009 to current performance showing the impact of having a department with more than 6 faculty (increase enrollment)
  2. Compare the number of full time faculty in peer institutions (ISU=6, average of peer institutions=13)
  3. delineate how the reduction in faculty has prevented regular faculty rotations through courses offered by the program, faculty are needed in upper division courses
  4. larger class sizes are needed due to the limited number of physics faculty
  5. Identify currently faculty that are willing to assume the responsibilities of a Department Chair
