An Index of Faculty Effort

AN INDEX OF FACULTY EFFORT

A rough index of instructional resources is provided by dividing credit hour enrollment by the number of full-time academic

appointments. The data used for this calculation are found on pages 48 and 61 for 1999-00 through 2003-04. The results of

dividing credit hour enrollment by number of faculty on each campus for those years are found below (Fort Wayne is excluded

because only the IU faculty paid by Indiana University are included in the data on page 61).

For all campuses of Indiana University, credit hour enrollment per full-time faculty in fall semester, 2003-04, is 231. That

average is distorted, however, because it includes the Health Division at Indianapolis where credit hour enrollment is a poor

indicator of the intensity of teaching effort. Excluding the Health Division, average student credit hour enrollment per full-time

faculty member is 302. That average is equivalent to three 3-credit-hour courses of about 34 students each for the semester.
