Rule 3344-16-05 | Faculty-student ratio.
(A) The ratio of full-time equivalent (FTE) students to full-time equivalent faculty (all teaching faculty, bargaining and nonbargaining) shall be maintained at a value not to exceed twenty to one across the university, with a limit not to exceed a ratio of twenty-five to one for any individual college.
(B) The administration and the CSU-AAUP recognize the need to maintain a strong complement of full-time tenure track faculty. Therefore, if either of the ratios specified in paragraph (A) of this rule is exceeded for two consecutive semesters (not including summer semester), representatives of the administration and the CSU-AAUP shall meet to develop a strategy to restore these ratios.
(C) The foregoing provisions of this article shall not apply if the university declares a financial exigency or if conditions warrant an academic reorganization.
(D) Before the end of the fourth week of the second term in each academic year, the administration shall calculate the ratio of full-time equivalent (FTE) students to full-time equivalent faculty (all teaching faculty, bargaining and non-bargaining) for each college and for the university as a whole for the previous academic year and shall publish the results to the campus community. In addition, the administration shall provide the CSU-AAUP with a separate copy of the results and how the ratios were calculated.
