VIII. Allocation of Human and Financial Resources

Human and financial resources devoted to this plan will come from the college general fund, through the redistribution of faculty/staff duties, from Title III grant funding through 2008, through internal service focused on the QEP by all faculty and staff, and from the Foundation Scholarships.

One of the QEP Co-Chairs, the Dean of Enrollment and Planning, has been relieved of some duties to allow him to take on the task of guiding the QEP implementation. Three of his thirteen direct reports have been moved to other administrators. The counselor and student services assistant on the Southeastern Campus will report to the Dean of Students, who is serving also as the administrator of the Southeastern Campus, and the student services assistant on the Downtown campus will report to the Registrar. Since many of his enrollment management and planning objectives match the objectives of the QEP, this will allow him to commit 50% of his time to the QEP (25% through redistribution of duties, 25% through matched objectives). The percentage of his salary and benefits made available to the QEP through redistribution reflected in the annual expenditures listed on the following page.

The other QEP Co-chairs, both award winning faculty, and one of whom is a division chair, will commit nearly all their internal service time to the QEP. Additional release time will be made available as needed. One class reduction for one semester annually is built into the plan.

The Dean of Admissions is redistributing her internal service to be able to devote 10% of her duties to coordinating the Student Ambassadors Program. Additional student services staff will assist with the program as part of their internal service.

Title III funding and the college general fund provide support for three staff members with direct responsibilities for this plan.

• Title III Activity Director (75% grant/25% college 2005-08, 100% college 2008-10)
• Teaching/Learning Specialist (75% grant/25% college 2005-07, 50% grant/50% college 2007-08, 100% college 2008-10)
• Retention/Intervention Coordinator (75% grant/25% college 2005-07, 50% grant/50% college 2007-08, 100% college 2008-10)

These staff members will continue with the college after the Title III grant concludes in 2008. The Title III Activity Director and the Teaching/Learning Specialist will commit 20% of their time to QEP activities over the coming five years, while the Retention/Intervention Coordinator will commit 75% of his time. These three staff members have many duties which match the objectives of both the grant and the QEP. Percentages of their salaries and benefits are reflected in the annual expenditures listed below. An annual increase of 3% is assumed for the salaries. Benefits are calculated by the KCTCS standard of 28% of base salary. A portion of the college general fund will be reallocated specifically for a QEP budget. This portion will cover any expenses not covered by Title III funds through 2008. Most equipment will be purchased prior to the completion of the grant. These expenses will include, but are not limited to, printing, duplication, hardware, and general office supplies used by the staff in support of the implementation of the QEP.

The primary means of evaluation, the Community College Survey of Student Engagement, will be covered by the college at a rate of $6800 (2006-07 and 2008-09).
