Fall 2011 Students Taught by Full-time and Part-Time Faculty

by Major Programs by Academic Units

PT Faculty StudentsFT Faculty Students

10

Growth and Program Development

• In order to manage growth well in relation to personnel, space and technology needs, we need strategic plans for programs that have the potential to grow significantly

• Strategic plans will include 5-year projections for enrollment increases by program, and these projections will inform resource allocation

• We have provided instructions for these plans to programs with growth potential and will expect progress in developing the plans in Fall 2012

11

Growth and Faculty Development

• Trinity’s full-time faculty size will growth with the addition of new programs and the expansion of existing programs

• Faculty development and assessment, both full-time and part-time, must be greater priorities in 2011-2012

• Rubrics for faculty assessment will be ready for review by August

• We will have a semester-long slate of faculty development programs ready by August

12

Regulatory Concerns• Congress and USDE imposing increasing burdens on higher

education to “prove” outcomes• Student outcomes assessment framework is essential; we will

collect and analyze the data next year to establish the baseline for the 2015-2016 accreditation self-study

• Employment outcomes are essential• Improved graduation rates relate to improved retention rates, and

these depend heavily on the success of our gateway programs• Academic Advising is fraught with legal and regulatory traps; we

will have a detailed and continuing program for faculty development with regard to advising and regulatory issues with advising ready to roll in the Fall semester

13

Plagiarism and Writing Concerns• Quality and integrity of our degrees is Trinity’s only real

“product”• Consistent and pervasive problems with writing, leading to

charges of plagiarism at times but not always, require close and careful attention

• Particular problems with graduate students and expectations for quality of thesis work

• Success of “Writing in the Disciplines” must continue• More formal and extensive program to teach students and

faculty about plagiarism will be ready for roll-out in the fall

14

Mission and Catholic Identity

• Current moment of stress and conflict, but opportunities for growth in understanding and commitment

• 3 major Catholic institutions in DC (CUA, Georgetown, Trinity) – Trinity can and should bring more to the discussion

• Trinity must first strengthen its own capacity to teach and engage both faculty and students in the exploration of Catholic mission and identity

• Two SND leaders joining the faculty: Sr. Camilla Burns, Sr. Mary Johnson, will strengthen our ability to engage this discussion more robustly
