Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Credit hours taught by a department is a better choice as it reflects the demand for faculty within the department and can be used to allocate resources accordingly. Faculty hours worked could lead to discrepancies in workload among departments and number of administrators has no direct correlation to the need for faculty positions. Number of days in the school term is also not an accurate measure as the length of the term can vary among departments and programs.
