Carpe Diem
…or make the most of the present time…seize the day

23. Carpe Diem Academic programming 80/20 revenue shared programs
New majors under existing CIP codes

24. Carpe Diem Student retention
552 fall FTIC students x 70.3% retention rate fall to fall = 388 will return
164 will not return; 19 will be academically dismissed
Why will 145 leave USFSP?
145 X $4,632 tuition/fees = $671,640
$671,640 = 7.17 full-time faculty $93,750/line salary + benefits
That is just FTIC. Double it?

25. Carpe Diem: Faculty load
Current scenario (Fall 2015)
Alternative scenario
42621 SCHs generated
178 SCH/FT faculty head (146 FT faculty headcount)
62% taught by FT faculty headcount (26293 SCH)
38% taught by PT faculty headcount (16328 SCH)
42621 SCHs generated
Move from 178 SCH/FT faculty headcount to 225 SCH/FT faculty headcount
Tuition from 10, /credit = $2,000,000 = 16 FT faculty headcount $93,750 salary and benefits per head)
