Committee Charge:
The ad hoc committee will be established to examine faculty composition in the FSB. Currently, we restrict the number of TCPL faculty to comprise 29% or less of all permanent faculty. Under AACSB standards, 90% of our faculty must be academically qualified (SA, PA, SP, or IP), with at least 40% of faculty falling into the SA category. The unit of analysis is percent of time devoted to the mission. For most full-time faculty, this is 100%. In light of the fact that the AACSB already mandates faculty composition, we want the committee to re-examine the FSB TCPL limits. Would it make sense to drop the TCPL cap and use the AACSB categories only? And, if so, should we set the SA minimum at 40%, or aim for a higher minimum?
