Panel won't study faculty's workloads
By Kate Lee
Kansan staff writer
The Legislative Educational Planning Committee on Friday decided not to ask for a study of faculty workloads at the Board of Regents institutions.
State Rep. Robert Vancrum, ROryland Park, asked for the study but withdrew the suggestion when committee members did not support
"These studies don't present any startling statistics, yet they also don't tell me enough to draw any conclusions." The statistics are causing some questions."
He said two studies were done in 1985 that showed that some faculty members spent only six hours in the classroom.
The two reports did not offer any comparative information about Kansas faculty and faculty in other states, Vancrum said.
Ray Hauke, director of planning and budget for the Regents, said there was no national data bank of information about faculty workloads.
"Many individual studies are done at particular campuses," he said. "There is not a unified faculty workload data base as there is with salaries or number of students and tuition rates."
State Sen. Jim Allen, R'ottawa,
said he did not see the point in asking
for another study if the previous two
had not shown conclusive data.
He said he was concerned about the issue because he thought people in
the community were concerned.
"The average person says that a professor works 10 hours a week and is making big bucks," he said. "That the people think on 'Main Street.'"
Vancrum said he had heard the same from his constituents.
"You hear it," he said. "It galls people. I think it galls the university community."
Leo Hufen, senior auditor at the legislative division of post audit, said a study could be done, but it would be a large undertaking.
"It would probably depend on the scope," he said. "First, we would have to assess if there is information available in our own schools. If there isn't, then the information has to be gathered, which would be a mass undertaking requiring cooperation from other states, et cetera.
"We would have a better chance, I think, if we limited it to a handful of departments, a limited number of institutes, a more narrow scope."
Vancrum said that if there was not a national data bank, he wondered how accrediting agencies were able to make their determinations.
"I think we should look at accrediting institutions and see what they have," he said. "Do they have data? Maybe they have more than the institutions. We need to see if they are just blowing smoke, or do they have a point when they come in and say faculty shouldn't have more than 12 hours of contact because it's taking away from other stuff."
