Terry and Renee,

I have been closely monitoring the enrollment of my law classes, and although it is still early, about 7 weeks from the Fall Semester, I would like to make the following observations and recommendations.

Currently Law has 4 on campus classes, with a total of 12 students enrolled or an average of 3 students enrolled. It is clear in my mind that these sections will be canceled. I have seen a dwindling on campus enrollment in our Law program from Summer of 2002 when we went entirely online with our paralegal certificate, and it appears that students have decided to no longer come to class on campus, but to do the class online entirely (even our current on campus students have decided to do the online program - possibly because of the parking structure, but also time constraints and because we no longer offer all of the classes on campus now - so even on campus students must take online classes) -

To date, in the 9 online classes, there are 148 students registered or an average of 16.4 students per class.

I believe our average online class size for last semester was between 28-35 students per class.

I would make the following suggestions:

1. Wait until 9/05 and if the 4 on campus classes do not have 15 students, then cancel those classes.

2. Open up now 3 additional online classes, and I can promote these now to our current online students so we can get them filled. Online classes fill up earlier than traditional because students are required to start their classes "running" from 9/05.

3. In canceling the on campus class, Carol Kellogg is the only current on campus instructor who has been trained to teach online, and is currently teaching online, and she can be offered an online class which I believe she will take. Per article 40, a seniority list is established with online faculty, and the other on campus faculty, Ed Kellogg and Mike Hibler would not be offered an online class because they are not entitled to one.

4. In the winters and summers for the last 3 years we have only offered online classes, and we will continue with this in Winter and Summers of 2007.

5. I would like to convert the current program, which is on a semester system over to a 9 week system, and I will forward more details about that proposal.

I know that the galleys for winter and spring 2007 are due soon, so I will get you the proposal on the new 9 week accelerated online paralegal certificate as soon as possible.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email or call me on my cell phone.

I would like to get the online class sections issued as soon as possible from Bertha and Nery so I can start promoting them.

Thanks for your kind consideration in this matter.

below is the proposed action to take:
