CE2 Would eliminate this criteria. Student/Community demand as demonstrated by enrollment capacity.
Student/Community demand has little to do with capacity. CE has almost unlimited capacity. Demand is demonstrated by participation (enrollment) as a percentage of offerings. Would replace with "as demonstrated by total headcount divided by the number of offerings" (to achieve a percentage or barometer approval rating).
CE3 Would replace the "Cost per FTE" with "Revenue generated per FTE in _____ number of programs and cost per FTE in ______ number of programs". This would focus on the positive outcome or development of a self support department which generates net revenue for the college.
CE4 is extremely vague and not measureable except in anecdotal and likely unrepresentative of the program in total. Refer to CE2 above as stated:
"Local demand for coursework is demonstrated by an increase in student participation as a percentage of the number of offerings."
Local demand for preparatory training is demonstrated by an increase in student participation as a percentage of the number of offerings.
Local demand for vocational supplemental programs is demonstrated by an increase in student participation as a percentage of the number of offerings.
Local demand for personal enrichment programs is demonstrated by an increase in student participation as a percentage of the number of offerings.
Would add currency of the program as demonstrated by analysis, alignment and comparison to recognized leaders in the field.
CE7 Would adapt as per CE3 above as stated. Intent is to separate purely revenue generating programs from others needing state support and more carefully identify program strengths.
