"The following definition of instructional
faculty is used by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP)
in its annual Faculty Compensation Survey. Instructional Faculty is
defined as those members of the instructional-research staff whose major
regular assignment is instruction, including those with released time for
research. Institutions are asked to EXCLUDE:
| (a) instructional faculty in preclinical and clinical
medicine |
(b) administrative officers with titles such as dean
of students, librarian, registrar, coach, and the like, even
though they may devote part of their time
to classroom instruction and may have faculty status, |
(c) undergraduate or graduate students who assist in
the instruction of courses, but have titles such as
teaching assistant, teaching fellow, and
the like |
| (d) faculty on leave without pay, and |
| (e) replacement faculty for faculty on sabbatical
leave." |
|
|
| Full-time: faculty
employed on a full-time basis |

Student to Faculty Ratio |
|
| Report the Fall 2003 ratio of full-time equivalent students
(full-time plus 1/3 part time) to full-time equivalent instructional
faculty (full time plus 1/3 part time). In the ratio calculations,
exclude both faculty and students in stand-alone graduate or
professional programs such as medicine, law, veterinary, dentistry,
social work, business, or public health in which faculty teach
virtually only graduate level students. Do not count undergraduate
or graduate student teaching assistants as faculty. |

Undergraduate Class Size
In the table below, please use the following definitions to report information about the size of classes and class sections offered in the Fall 2003 term.
Class Sections: A class section is an organized course offered for credit, identified by discipline and number, meeting at a stated time or times in a classroom or similar setting, and not a subsection such as a laboratory or discussion session. Undergraduate class sections are defined as any sections in which at least one degree-seeking undergraduate student is enrolled for credit. Exclude distance learning classes and noncredit classes and individual instruction such as dissertation or thesis research, music instruction, or one-to-one readings. Exclude students in independent study, co-operative programs, internships, foreign language taped tutor sessions, practicums, and all students in one-on-one classes. Each class section should be counted only once and should not be duplicated because of course catalog cross-listings.
Class Subsections: A class subsection includes any subsection of a course, such as laboratory, recitation, and discussion subsections that are supplementary in nature and are scheduled to meet separately from the lecture portion of the course. Undergraduate subsections are defined as any subsections of courses in which degree-seeking undergraduate students enrolled for credit. As above, exclude noncredit classes and individual instruction such as dissertation or thesis research, music instruction, or one-to-one readings. Each class subsection should be counted only once and should not be duplicated because of cross-listings.
Using the above definitions, please report for each of the following class-size intervals the number of class sections and class subsections offered in Fall 2003. For example, a lecture class with 800 students who met at another time in 40 separate labs with 20 students should be counted once in the “100+” column in the class section column and 40 times under the “20-29” column of the class subsections table.
