>I wonder how they did their selections.
They published their methodology, the metrics driving discontinuation of programs and specialties were:
- Enrollment in the major/program (as of Fall 2022)
- Enrollment trends in the major/program over a five-year period (Fall 2018-Fall 2022)
The metrics for reducing headcount were:
- Student credit hour (SCH) production trend from AY 2020 to AY 2022
- Full-time faculty headcount and trend from 2020 to 2022
- Full-time faculty-to-student ratio
- Net tuition revenue trends over 2020-2022 (Tuition revenue, based on SCH production, minus expenses)
- Total unrestricted expenses trend from 2020-2022
- Net financial position and trend from 2020-2022
Exceptions were made for:
- R1 research contributions - Doctoral programs and associated non-terminal master’s programs within a unit that has annual (FY 2022) external research expenditures of $1 million are exempted from review.
- State priority program (land-grant mission)
- Areas of distinction/differentiation
