Response to Work Group Information

Hispanics do not have a tradition of going to college

growth will require talent on the campus at an incrasing rate--how do we attract them?

student population will be more diverse

most of the colleges are primarily female (except Engineering)

applications from males has dropped, females has stayed stable

where are we going to house everyone?

2030 projected to be the seventh most populous state in the nation--a tidal wave is coming

we need to drive up the rate of those going to college

the pressure we're going to see is going to be dwarfed by increase in community colleges

we get more applications per year from NC than any other college--we're the university of choice

2+2 could be the answer--go to community colleges for first two years

CA systems do 2+2, GA and FL doing that too

we grow the institutions we have now or build new ones (e.g., Morganton)

it's a demand issue--some of the universities are at capacity

you don't just jump into DE--how do you do it?

how do we hire faculty that will be appropriate role models for this new group of students

what part of the structure will we maintain, grow, eliminate?

how do we get people who are competent in other languages?

can we envision faculty who will be hired just to teach DE? who will never teach another face-to-face class ECU faculty are required to teach at least one online and university provides support--that's why they are growing at the rate they are

They're moving into Dental, Medical, Engineering

retire with full benefits at 25 years of service

it would be helpful to know more demographic information for our university

a mentoring program is helpful and helps individuals train new people in academics and technology

Demographic Changes and Diversity

what factors will be important if more women are entering the academy?

male and female faculty who get tenure tend to at the same rate. the problem is we have a 30% drop off before women ever get to that point. there's a lot more attrition from the time they're hired. working from home might be helpful during childbearing years--which is when most people are Assistant Profs.

same-sex relationships--changing that culture is going to take time. it's kind of like in the 60s when there were few people of color on campus.

gender and race are more obvious.

opening doors CALS program 3-day workshop on diversity issues. people go through it during orientation--more time would be better.

50% of African American males drop out before graduating HS

final bullet---money, money, money
