Overall Impact: Severe Higher Student to Faculty Ratios – currently 24.72 to 1 across CAS majors – higher in core classes – FVSU average 17-1 The capacity of CAS to serve courses needed by every FVSU student will be severely strained Larger Class sizes Fewer Class offerings Many programs with high enrollments and strong graduation rates will have only one full-time faculty member Nationwide rankings will suffer Student retention and progression will be delayed Student graduation will be jeopardized Student enrollment will suffer

Considerations Revenue Generation – much of the revenue comes from CAS programs Energy efficiency savings e.g., installing sensor switches, LED lighting, and auto shutdown software in computer labs will save over $55,000 annually in the CTM building Contracts with vendors ought to be re-examined
