KENTUCKY STATE UNIVERSITY HISTORY AND BACKGROUND

From its modest beginnings as a small normal school for the training of black teachers for the black schools of Kentucky, Kentucky State University has grown and evolved to become the state's unique, small, liberal studies institution, serving students without regard to their race, age, sex, national origin or economic status.

The university was chartered in May 1886 as the State Normal School for Colored Persons, only the second state-supported institution of higher learning in Kentucky. During the euphoria of Frankfort's 1886 centennial celebration, when vivid recollections of the Civil War remained, the city's 4,000 residents were keenly interested in having the new institution located in Frankfort. Toward that end, the city donated $1,500—a considerable amount in 1886 dollars—and a site on a scenic bluff overlooking the town. This united display of community enthusiasm and commitment won the day. The new college was located in Frankfort in spite of competition from several other cities.

Recitation Hall (now Jackson Hall), the college's first building, was erected in 1887. The new school opened on October 11, 1887, with three teachers, 55 students and John H. Jackson as president. In 1890, KSU became a land-grant college and the departments of home economics, agriculture and mechanics were added to the school's curriculum. The school produced its first graduating class of five students in the spring of that year. A high school was organized in 1893. This expansion continued into the 20th century in both name and programs. In 1902, the name was changed to Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute for Colored Persons. The name was changed again in 1926 to Kentucky State Industrial College for Colored Persons. In the early 1930s, the high school was discontinued and in 1938 the school was named the Kentucky State College for Negroes. The term “for Negroes” was dropped in 1952. Kentucky State College became a university in 1972, and in 1973 the first graduate students enrolled in its School of Public Affairs.

Over the past 30 years, more than 30 new structures or major building expansions have enhanced Kentucky State University's 882-acre campus, which includes a 204-acre agricultural research farm.

PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM REVIEW

The purpose of the program review is to determine the effectiveness of each program in carrying out the University's mission, goals, objectives and strategic plan and to promote continuous program improvement. Program reviews focus specifically on the components of instruction, research and public service, with primary emphasis on providing quality education. The review process is to generate diagnostic information that is needed for program and personnel improvement and resource allocation. The results of the program review will determine in part the programs that are to be continued without modification, continued with modification, consolidated, suspended or eliminated.

SUMMARY OF DRAFT FINDINGS ON PROGRAM CONTINUATION DECISIONS

Presidential Green Ribbon Commission on Academic Prioritization and Budget Alignment

The 39-member Green Ribbon Commission on Academic Prioritization and Budget Alignment was formed by Dr. M. Christopher Brown II with input from Dr. Patricia Higgins in mid-November 2017. The purpose of the Commission was to determine the effectiveness of each program in carrying out the University's mission, goal, objectives and strategic plan and to promote continuous improvement. The review process is to generate diagnostic information that is needed for program and personnel improvement and resource allocation. The results of the program review will determine, in part, the programs that are to be continued without modification, continued with modification, consolidated, suspended or eliminated.

The Commission, which met in four whole-group and numerous small-groups sessions to perform its assigned task, reviewed a total of 37 degree-conferring programs. After reviewing data from OIRE, the Commission selected 19 (51.35%) bachelor- and master-level programs that failed to meet the Council on Postsecondary Education's threshold for program productivity. It was decided that the 19 "low-performing programs" would undergo an intensive review process.

The Council’s Guidelines for Review of Academic Program Productivity [November, 1999] established the following thresholds to be used to identify programs for review:

Associate programs—average of fewer than 12 degrees awarded during a five-year period

Baccalaureate programs—average of fewer than 12 degrees awarded during a five-year period

Master's programs—average of fewer than seven degrees awarded during a five-year period - Doctoral programs—average of fewer than five degrees awarded during a five-year period

Doctoral programs—average of fewer than five degrees awarded during a five-year period

(CPE, Review of Existing Academic Programs, p. 3)

Commission members expressed concerns over making program continuation recommendations from a one-dimensional (degrees awarded) look at selected programs; therefore, in addition to completing reviews for programs showing low productivity, Commission members were asked to make program continuation recommendations for KSU based on a 16-factor rubric:

Enrollment trends

Graduation rates

Faculty qualification

Instructional practices

Program demand

Financial contributions

Sufficiency of courses

Accreditation status

Impact on students

Curriculum

Equipment/facilities

Student performance

Persistence rates

Attempts to revitalize

Nonmonetary impact

Alignment to mission, vision, goal, core principles

This document is a summary of overall findings for each factor considered for the 19 programs that underwent intensive review.

ENROLLMENT TRENDS

Summary

The average three-year data on degrees conferred and enrollment trends did not meet guidelines established by the Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE) program productivity.

Below is a breakdown of the 37 programs that underwent reviews based on the average number of degrees conferred over a three-year period:

Challenges

Challenges to reversing the downward trend in enrollment include, but are not limited to:

An excessive amount of negative press

Up-to-date recruitment brochures and materials

Attracting college-ready students

Reputation of the university for preparing job-ready individuals and stability

Effective support and retention plans

The appearance of instability based on leadership styles

Greater opportunities for enrollment in historically white institutions

Greater financial incentives from traditionally white universities

Alumni chapters are less involved than in prior years

Budget Implications

Budgetary consideration should be given to funds needed:

To publicize positive image of KSU (public relations)

To offer more financial support for students with great potential but few financial resources

For enhanced and targeted recruitment

For recruitment materials

To revitalize alumni groups

GRADUATION RATES

Summary

As in most universities, graduation rates are lower than enrollment because of the number of students who drop out or do not persist. The Institutional Research Factbook 2015–16 reveals graduation rates of less than 25 percent for three exiting cohorts (2007–13).

Challenges

Increasing term-to-term persistence rates

Reducing assistantships to two years

Budget implications

Cohort Graduation Rate History

“The graduation rate is calculated as the percentage of those students in the cohort (after adjusted/minus exclusion) who completed their program within 150 percent of normal time to completion (within 6 years).” (KSU Factbook-2015–16)

Budget Implications

Funds devoted to recruitment, retention, persistence, facilities, qualified and sufficient faculty, advertising and public relations would impact graduation rates.

FACULTY QUALIFICATIONS

Summary

An overwhelming majority of the full-time faculty have earned terminal degrees or have exceptional experience in the areas they are assigned to teach. They participate in professional growth opportunities and seek ways to bring finances and recognition to the university. A review of the faculty qualification chart and faculty evaluations will reveal how full-time faculty members demonstrate best practices in teaching, service and scholarship. Many full-time faculty members write and administer grants, collaborate within the community and take leadership roles in professional development in local schools and agencies.

19

Page 22 Download HTML

Challenges

Although full-time faculty are prepared for the roles they serve, many programs have a significant number of adjunct and part-time faculty who may or may not be fully immersed in the missions, visions, goals and learner outcomes of the programs in which they teach. Faculty are "expected" to perform time-consuming and labor-intensive tasks that diminish time devoted to instruction/research. Another concern is equitable salary distribution. Some faculty believe that they are not compensated fairly. One faculty member described the unequal distribution of compensation as a "devaluation" of some faculty's service. Other faculty expressed feelings of being underutilized. They talk about not having had opportunities to serve in leadership roles. Some faculty are concerned that the newly employed faculty enter with salaries far above those of faculty who have been loyal and supportive of the university.

They also express concerns that they have demonstrated success in scholarship, service and teaching without financial reward.

Budget Implications

The budgetary allotment for faculty varies by expertise, experience, program and position. Some discontent was expressed over salary disparities between long-serving, tenured faculty and “newcomer administrators.” While teaching faculty are qualified for the positions they hold, nearly all programs had concerns over the scarcity of full-time faculty to share the workload. However, low enrollments and graduation rates make it difficult to justify employing additional full-time faculty.

Funds are needed:

To correct the inequitable distribution of salaries for all

For more full-time faculty with demonstrated teaching skills

For better screening and professional development for adjuncts

To adjust faculty salaries to reflect more equitable distribution

INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES

Summary

Instructional practices vary within and across programs. Faculty members lecture; provide cooperative learning opportunities; incorporate peer teaching, standards-based content, project-based learning and technology (Blackboard, Campus labs); and use role play, simulations, discussion groups, problem solving and brainstorming practices to enhance learning. Faculty also write and submit Student Learning Outcomes that align with program and university missions.

Challenges

Challenges to effective instructional practices include limited student engagement, utilizing assessment to inform instruction, developing relevant and rigorous learning goals and building on students' prior knowledge. Monitoring instructional practices of adjunct faculty to ensure that best practices are conducted is also a challenge.

Budget Implications

For most HBCUs, financial resources to support professional development that enhances instruction practices come from Title III funding. Amounts established for professional development over the past three years are shown below.

PROGRAM DEMAND

Summary

Program demand is viewed in terms of demand for the programs at KSU and demand for graduates of the programs in the wider society. Reviewed programs with low three-year average graduation and enrollment rates are all programs for which the U.S. Department of Labor projects opportunities for gainful employment over the next several years. Although Commission members view the need for the reviewed programs as fair to good, students are not entering and exiting these programs at high numbers. KSU is not supplying a comparable number of graduates to other universities within the state. The daunting questions then become, "Why are students not enrolling in large numbers at KSU and pursuing degrees that lead to gainful employment opportunities? How are other schools attracting and graduating students? What needs to happen to make KSU's low-producing programs more competitive? Is money a barrier to revitalization?"

Challenges

Challenges faced by programs that are not meeting employment demands are:

Competition from other state universities

Knowledge of KSU program offerings

Overcoming negative reputations about the preparedness of graduates

Innovative program delivery

Collaborations and partnerships that lead to employment

Adequate numbers of faculty members to deliver courses in a timely manner

Up-to-date equipment and facilities

Budget Implications

Funds established for outreach and public relations over the past three years are: Funds needed to produce more graduates to address employment demands include, but are not limited to, funds for:

The above chart shows the number of submissions by college. See Appendix A for additional information on grants and financial support to KSU.

Challenges

Time to research and write grants

Awareness of existing funds

Applying for new grants

Utilizing grants that have been secured for the university

Budget Implications

KSU is home to approximately 127 full-time faculty. Faculty from reviewed programs have been awarded grants that have impacts on students, program delivery, equipment, additional instructors and faculty compensation for grant management. Without the dedication and innovation of many faculty, many programs would be under tremendous strain to maintain the level of support that exists; therefore, faculty are encouraged to continue applying for and managing grants that support the goals and mission of the university.

SUFFICIENCY OF COURSE OFFERINGS TO ENSURE REASONABLE COMPLETION OPPORTUNITIES Summary

Sufficient courses are available to meet the needs of enrolled students and to ensure reasonable completion opportunities. Although some course enrollments are low, it has been the practice to offer the class, even if the minimum of six students are not enrolled. Offering the course with such low enrollment is done to address students' needs to stay on track for graduation.

Challenges

Enough students to provide quality and meaningful learning experiences

Consistent low enrollment

Budget Implications

Because of low enrollments, some faculty teach courses with fewer than five students. This does not appear to be a cost-effective way to utilize the time and expertise of faculty.

ACCREDITATION STATUS Summary

Challenges related to time and human resources rather than to funding:

Maintaining and documenting high-level program performance

Faculty participation in the accreditation visit preparation

Time to prepare documents

Unequal benefits to faculty leaders who facilitate accreditation reviews

Summary

Overall, the curricula for the reviewed programs are current, and are built on standards-based content. They focus on concept and skill development, build on students' prior knowledge, employ research-based teaching methods and are relevant to the needs of employers and students. In a majority of the reviews, commission members rated the curriculum as good or excellent.

Challenges

Making needed changes to curriculum to address student and employer needs • Underutilization of technology

Underutilization of technology

Monopoly of single textbook companies

The process of ordering textbooks

Not enough instructors for online courses

Budget Implications

about doing well and meeting program goals. Many students who enter KSU are under-prepared and require time and support to enhance mathematics and writing skills.

Challenges

Student travel for exposure to research

Under-preparedness of students

Passing required tests

Consistent and regular advising

Budget Implications

Funds are needed to:

Assist students who deplete their financial aid grants before completing their programs

Incentivize students who achieve at high levels

Recruit and retain college-ready students

Design support programs for students who desire to enroll in KSU but are under-prepared that will not interfere with their financial aid awards

TERM-TO-TERM PERSISTENCE RATES Summary

Many students enrolled at KSU are under-prepared and do not possess the prerequisite skills for college-level courses; therefore, many of them take developmental courses that cause them to use their financial aid on coursework that does not lead to requirements to graduation. By the time their financial aid runs out, they are forced to drop out or take reduced loads. These circumstances impact term-to-term student persistence rates. Meanwhile, the University has moved toward 15 hours per semester so that students will graduate in a timely fashion.

STUDENT PERFORMANCE Summary

KSU students are required to have an overall grade point average of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale to graduate. Commission members rated student performance as fair-to-good. When students persist to their professional-level courses, they are focused on completion and generally are serious about doing well and meeting program goals. Many students who enter KSU are under-prepared and require time and support to enhance mathematics and writing skills.

Challenges

Depletion of financial aid because of developmental course requirements

Developmental programs

Students who enter prepared or who are supported to be prepared to matriculate from course to course and from term to term

PROGRAM REVIEW SUMMARY, RECOMMENDATIONS AND RATIONALES Current Employees as of November 1, 2017

After conducting the intensive review of programs identified as having low productivity, and after considering factors to inform decisions about program continuation, the following recommendations emerged from Commissions members:

AFRICANA STUDIES

► Offers an interdisciplinary and multicultural approach to understanding and analyzing the contributions, concerns and conditions of African and African-diasporic peoples

► Reinforces the liberal studies mission of the University while promoting the contributions of African and African-diasporic peoples and civilizations

Increases respect for humanities while accepting responsibility as stewards of their own legacy

Students learn to identify historic and contrary trends that characterize disadvantaged communities, create disparity and create policy

The program was to have been jumpstarted by cross listed ASP course with honors special topic courses; but three years ago, the associate provost determined that no ASP courses should be offered because of budgetary concerns. Thus, there are no majors, no graduates and no data.

RECOMMENDATION: CONSOLIDATE

Make the Africana Studies program a specialization within another program (Behavioral Sciences or the Honors Program)

RATIONALE:

The program is relatively new and has not produced a graduate

If 3-5-year enrollment and graduation data for the Africana Studies specialization do not meet the requirements for viability, then eliminate the program.

CHEMISTRY

▶ High graduation rate ▶ Low number of faculty

Students graduate in four years, do research, make presentations ▶ Same major requirements for many years

▶ Grants earned by the faculty ▶ Curriculum needs updating

Lab fees pay for lab costs Little change in number of majors (effective use of funds) or graduates over time

Experiential learning/hands-on labs

▶ Instructor support

Supports other majors at KSU

► Math and sciences should conduct a thorough evaluation of the chemistry program using ACS accreditation standards to identify strengths and weaknesses. This evaluation is critical to inform decisions and direct actions. RECOMMENDATION: CONTINUE WITH MODIFICATION

RECOMMENDATION: CONTINUE WITH MODIFICATION

RATIONALE:

▶ Conduct an objective evaluation of the chemistry program using ACS standards

► Provide ongoing semester reviews of established goals to discern what is working and what needs to be changed. The evaluation results can be effectively used to inform and support the construction of the partnership of the chemistry department with land grant.

***Chemistry faculty are beginning to develop a plan for new courses, and perhaps a B.A.A. new chemistry option and certificates will be considered.

The program was reviewed several years ago and implementation of recommendation from that review may not have had time to bear fruit.

ELEMENTARY EDUCATION AND TEACHING

Students have the opportunity to earn observation hours Alternative ways for students to obtain observation hours

Up-to-date classrooms that resemble the public education classroom based on standards, student learning outcomes, evidence based research.

Faculty and staff engaged in grantsmanship continue to engage a number of funding sources that support innovation through untraditional collaborations. The USDA-NIFA awarded KSU $7,371,901, which accounts for 56 percent of our total awards. Support from the U.S. Department of Education totaled $3,189,944 and accounts for 24 percent of our total awards funded for FY18 through the month of January.

FY18 - TOTAL AMOUNT FUNDED OTHER, $1,121,549

TRAINING AND COMPLIANCE

During FY18 the Office of Sponsored Programs has facilitated three grants trainings in departments and units (College of Agriculture, Mathematics and Sciences and Behavioral and Social Sciences) across campus. Over 30 faculty have been engaged in reviews of means of seeking grants opportunities utilizing Cos-Pivot and grants.gov (link: http://kysu.edu/funding-databases/). Faculty were also provided reviews of internal processes for grants/contract pre/post award procedures and policies that govern grants management and compliance.

Resources for external training modules supported by OSP were also provided to faculty through the CITI Program (Link: http://kysu.edu/citi-program/), which provides training for faculty and staff on Human Subjects Protections (IRB), biohazard training, and animal care and Usage (IACUC). To date in FY18, five KSU faculty have completed applications and been approved by the IRB committee to facilitate human research studies, all classified as exempt/expedited per 45Code of Federal Regulation 46.110 and 21 CFR 56.110. At the present, one application is under review by the IACUC committee. Committee meeting for the IRB and IACUC are being coordinated and will be provided upon completion. The annual report on Animal and Plant Health Inspection is due December 2018.

The President's Green Ribbon Committee, Group 2, met on January 30, 2018, to continue discussion and review of two academic programs assigned: Political Science (POS) and the undergraduate Public Administration (PUA) programs. The committee convened at 4 p.m. and ended at 6:15 p.m.

EXAMPLE OF A PROGRAM REVIEWED

POLITICAL SCIENCE

The political science program contributes to the University’s mission in various ways. The program prepares students to assume roles primarily in the government sector, as well as for graduate and professional school. The mission of the University is to serve the community and to improve the public good for citizens of the Commonwealth. Students who receive a degree from the University are prepared to enter the workforce and to make a direct contribution to better their communities.

The political science program offers both a major and minor, and it provides a service course in the liberal arts core (POS 101: American Government). Program faculty also teaches across divisions/departments in the Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences (BSS) and for the BSS Intelligence and Counter-Terrorism minor.

Most (94 percent) universities offer political science programs (Ginsberg, 2011). Political science is considered as one of the social sciences core programs in addition to psychology, sociology and history (to name a few). Since KSU is situated in the Commonwealth's state capital—the seat of government—it is fitting to offer a political science degree program.

Beginning in the spring 2018 semester, the political science program was relocated to the School of Public Administration and Department of Government. Public Administration is rooted in political science, and the relocation of this program should be attractive to students interested in pursuing these degrees.

The political science program helps to fulfill the University's strategic plan. For Goal 1, it provides access for students to develop careers in the government sector through internships with state agencies and in preparation for graduate and professional schools. For Goal 2, the program increases general education skills as a service course in the liberal arts core. For Goal 3, the program has a direct impact on the financial strength of the University in spite of the small number of declared majors. For Goal 4, the program collaborates with other universities as students participate in the pre-law society or attend graduate or professional schools. The program also regularly hosts political forums and other civic events for the community. For Goal 5, the program is periodically reviewed and, as an accredited program, participates in the Continuous Quality Improvement process. Elimination of a program that is tailored to prepare students to become civic-minded, publicly engaged citizens seems counterproductive to the mission of the University.

Elimination of a program that is tailored to prepare students to become civic-minded, publicly engaged citizens seems counterproductive to the mission of the University.

The political science program informs and teaches students the role and function of government and citizens' participation in those processes.

Since 2013, the political science program has averaged 18 declared majors and averaged seven graduating students over the last three years. The number of declared majors has remained relatively stable during this period, although the number has dropped over the past decade. A number of factors likely contribute to this decline, such as higher education enrollment declines, declines in international student enrollment and the need for expanded recruitment. However, for political science programs, these trends are not new. In an article published by Mann (1996) over two decades ago, the research indicated significant declines in political science majors and enrollment. The author noted the decrease was associated with a decline in applications for law school and the appeal of other career programs (see www.jstor.org/stable/420838). In spite of these changes in the political science program, its percent enrollment change has been low (6 percent) compared to the majority of programs at the University—many having double-digit declines. The U.S. Department of Labor estimates 3 percent job growth in political science between 2016 and 2026.

The political science program is accredited nationally as a member institution of the American Political Science Association (APSA), and the curriculum is aligned with the association's learning goals.

There are two full-time political science faculty and zero part-time faculty. In FY 2017–18, both faculty members are teaching full course loads. Dr. Wilifred Reilly has five assigned courses (one to make up a reduced course load in the fall 2017 semester). Dr. Reilly will receive a one-course reduction due to an administrative appointment as university ombud beginning spring 2018, semester (thus, he has one paid overload for spring 2018). Dr. Amadife is teaching an integrative studies course in liberal studies and, therefore, has one paid overload for spring 2018.

The political science program was implemented at the University ____. During the period 2013–17, _____ students have graduated with political science as their major and _____ students with political science as a minor. The program offers three

concentrations: constitutional law, international relations and legislative/executive politics. The major requires 120 credit hours. The minor requires 21 credit hours.

The political science program uses technologies available at the University to support student learning. Black Board is the primary learning management system. Classrooms are equipped with overheads and several classrooms have SMARTboards. Technology is one area that should include more investment from the University to attract millennials and Gen Z. Perception of inadequate resources makes it difficult for the University to compete with other institutions that provide these supports.

PROGRAM REVIEW TEMPLATE

I. Mission Statements

B. Department's mission statement

The School of Public Administration and Department of Government provide quality education to students in the professions of public administration, social work, criminal justice and political science. The School and Department produce pre-service graduates with the understanding and skills that allow them to obtain entry-level positions in government, the nonprofit sector and the business world. The School and Department also assist in-service professionals, helping them develop skills applicable to their advancement and improved performance of current duties.

C. Program's mission statement

Political science, as a discipline, involves the systematic study of politics and the political system. The political science program at Kentucky State University has a highly developed academic curriculum that prepares students for graduate study in political science or related areas such

78

Page 81 Download HTML

as law or public administration. Political science requires the application of knowledge and critical thinking to assess, prevent and resolve political and social problems. Additionally, the curriculum addresses preparation of students for entry-level career position in the public and private sectors of employment.

II. Centrality to the Institution's Mission and Consistency with State Goals

A. Explain how this program has contributed to the institution's mission.

The political science program contributes to the University's mission in various ways. The program prepares students to assume roles primarily in the government sector, as well as for graduate and professional school. The mission of the University is to serve the community and to improve the public good for citizens of the Commonwealth. Students who receive a degree from the University are prepared to enter the workforce and to make a direct contribution to better their communities.

B. Is there a need for the program?

According to StudyPortals (2018), there are 1,235 bachelor degree programs in political science offered in the United States (www.bachelorsportal.com/study-options/269779260/political-science-united-states.html). Political science is considered one of the social sciences core programs in addition to psychology, sociology and history, and provides support to the University's liberal arts core through POS 101: American Government. Since KSU is situated in the Commonwealth's state capital—the seat of government—it is fitting to offer a political science degree program.

C. Can this program be combined with a similar or related program in the present department or in another department?

Beginning in the spring 2018 semester, the political science program was relocated from the Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences to the School of Public Administration and Department of Government. Public administration, political science, social work and criminal justice share unity of purpose. These disciplines are focused on the political, social and economic dynamics of communities and applying that knowledge to benefit the good of all citizens (Rutgers, n.d., see online.rutgers.edu/resources/articles/the-difference-between-public-administration-and-political-science/?program=mpa). Public administration and political science programs have historical connection and are often found in the same departments at institutions.

Public administration and political science programs have historical connection and are often found in the same departments at institutions.

D. How would the elimination of this program affect the achievement of the University's strategic plan?

The political science program helps to fulfill the University's strategic plan. For Goal 1, it provides access for students to develop careers in the government sector through internships with state agencies and in preparation for graduate and professional schools. For Goal 2, the program increases general education skills as a service course in the liberal arts core. For Goal 3, the program has a direct impact on the financial strength of the University in spite of the small number of declared majors. In spite of the program's small size for declared majors, its percent enrollment change has been low (6 percent) compared to the majority of programs at the University—many having double-digit declines. For Goal 4, the program collaborates with other universities as students participate in the pre-law society or attend graduate or professional schools; the program regularly hosts political forums and other civic events for the community. For Goal 5, the program is periodically reviewed and, as an accredited program, participates in the Continuous Quality Improvement process.

E. How would the elimination of this program affect the mission and vision of the University?

Elimination of a program that is tailored to prepare students to become civic-minded, publicly engaged citizens seems counterproductive to the mission and strategic plan of the University.

F. Describe the cultural/societal need for the program.

The Political Science program informs and teaches students the role and function of government and citizens' participation in those processes. Students interested in careers in public service to aid their governments and communities often pursue a degree in political science. StudyPortals (2018) states, “Political science encompasses studies of historical and cultural factors that mutually influence how governments operate and how political processes develop. The political science discipline also reflects the connections between political and economic structures and social institutions” (para Political Science studies) [www.bachelorsportal.com/disciplines/316/political-science.html].

G. Is Kentucky State University required to offer this program by CPE or other federal agency? If so, explain.

No.

III. Program Quality and Student Success A. What is the quality of the program?

The political science program offers both a major and minor, and it provides a service course in the liberal arts core (POS 101: American Government). Program faculty also teaches across divisions/departments in the Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences (BSS) and for the BSS Intelligence and Counter-Terrorism minor. Since 2013, the political science program has averaged 18 declared majors per year and averaged seven graduating students over the last three years. The number of declared majors has remained relatively stable during this period. A number of factors likely contribute to this decline, such as higher education enrollment declines, declines in international student enrollment and the need for expanded recruitment. However, for political science programs, these trends are not new. In an article published by Mann (1996) over two decades ago, the research indicated significant declines in political science majors and enrollment.

The author noted the decrease was associated with a decline in applications for law school and the appeal of other career programs (www.jstor.org/stable/420838).

B. What indicators are used to assess the quality of the program?

Number of declared political science majors, number and percentage of graduates per year, average number of graduating seniors (three-year), percentage of enrollment increase or decrease, and course evaluations are used to assess program quality.

C. Is the program accredited or has accreditation been sought?

The political science program is accredited nationally as a member institution of the American Political Science Association (APSA) and the curriculum is aligned with the Association’s learning goals.

D. How many full-time faculty members are teaching in this program? (FY17) ***See Appendix A for a chart.

There are two full-time faculty teaching in political science in AY 2017–18.

E. How many part-time faculty usually teach in this program? (FY17)

There are no part-time faculty teaching in political science in AY 2017–18.

F. How many faculty have appropriate terminal degrees? (FY17)

Dr. Emmanuel Amadife and Dr. Wilfred Reilly possess Ph.D.s in their respective disciplines. Dr. Reilly also possesses a J.D. degree.

G. What is the average teaching load of the faculty in the program unit or division?

In AY 2017–18, both faculty members are teaching full course loads. Dr. Wilfred Reilly has five assigned courses (one to make up a reduced course load in the fall 2017 semester). Dr. Reilly will receive a one-course reduction due to an administrative appointment as university ombud beginning the spring 2018 semester (thus, he has one paid overload for spring 2018). Dr. Amadife is teaching an integrative studies course in liberal studies and, therefore, has one paid overload for spring 2018.

H. What is the percentage of reassigned faculty time per semester?

I. Are all courses offered in this program needed?

All courses offered are required for the political science major and required concentrations.

J. Are all courses offered in general education needed for general education?

All courses are required for the liberal arts core.

IV. Program Demand

A. Which courses in this program have consistently low enrollments?

Non-service courses, typically upper-division courses, tend to have low enrollment and reflect the small size of the political science program.

These courses include the following enrollment for AY 2017–18. POS 101: American Government (26) [Fall] POS 101: American Government (21) [Fall] {Dual Credit}

V. Support Resources/Facilities/Equipment

A. Are library resources adequate to support this degree program?

Library resources (e.g., political science periodicals, books, videos) are needed. A review of the University's electronic journal index indicates availability of various political science academic journals, including Political Science Quarterly, Political Science Reviewer and other electronic databases with access to relevant political science journals. However, it was noted that in some cases access to full-text articles is no longer available. Students do have access to other resources through the KYVL consortium and the InterLibrary Loan program.

B. Are appropriate technological resources adequate to support this degree program?

The political science program uses technologies available at the University to support student learning. Black Board is the primary Learning Management System. Classrooms are equipped with overheads, and several classrooms have SMARTboards. Technology is one area that should include more investment from the University to attract millennials and Gen Z. Perception of inadequate resources makes it difficult for the University to compete with other institutions that provide these supports.

C. Is the allocated space (classroom, laboratory, faculty offices, etc.) adequate and appropriate for the program?

Yes. No concerns were noted.

D. Are there more support needed from (IT)

Information Technology? If so, explain.

IT support is adequate. Although submitting a Helpdesk ticket for an IT issue may take several days for response and resolution, IT staff can also be contacted to offer individualized support.

E. How many years has this program been in place?

The program began in the 1970s.

F. How many majors and minors were enrolled in the program for the year 2013–14 through 2016–17? Are the numbers declining? Per III(A): 2012–13 Majors: 46, Minors: 8 2013–14 Majors: 39, Minors: 5 2014–15 Majors: 41, Minors: 3 2015–16 Majors: 34, Minors: 3 2016–17 Majors: 36, Minors: 4 The number of majors has remained relatively stable for the past five years, although the number of minors has declined.

VI. Cost and Funding

How many credit hours are required for completion of the program?

The political science program requires 120 credit hours.

How many different concentrations or options are available in the program? Could some of them be consolidated or eliminated to reduce course proliferation and costs?

The program offers three concentrations: constitutional law, international relations and legislative/executive politics.

C. What is the average class size in the major courses?

The average class size (when including POS 101 as the service course) is 7.4 students in AY 2017–18. When factoring out POS 101, the average class size is 5.1 students.

D. Are these courses too expensive to offer?

The Bursar's Office offers the following tuition and fees schedule for the University:

83

84

Page 87 Download HTML

85

Page 88 Download HTML

98

Page 89 Download HTML

Small programs that offer majors and do not include grant funding to supplement faculty and staff salaries, but depend on tuition revenue, are expensive. For example, a part-time, in-state student taking one political science course generates $1,233 in revenue. Assuming a full-time faculty member earns $50,000 per year in salary, clearly the tuition revenue generated by a small number of part-time students is insufficient to support the program. Even assuming all of the students are full-time (taking 12 credit hours), in-state, the revenue generated from tuition alone is insufficient to support the program. For example, the political science program has averaged 18 declared majors since 2013. For any given semester, 18 students x $3,897 = $70,146 in revenue generated by political science majors. The political science program, however, also contributes to the University’s liberal arts core, as well as supporting Kentucky high school dual credit programs. For example, in the spring 2018 semester there were 21 students who enrolled in POS 101 for the service course. Assuming all students were full-time (12 semester hours), in-state, 21 x $3,897 = $81,837/4 (courses) = $20,459 generated by students who take the POS 101 service course. Sixty-two high school students enrolled in the POS 101 course through the dual credit program in AY 2017–18, generating an additional $9,672 in tuition revenue.

E. What are the yearly costs for specialized equipment, supplies and library resources to support the program?

The only annual direct costs for equipment, supplies and resources on a recurring basis for the political science program are copier expenses for individual faculty and any periodicals purchased by the library (most are now available electronically). An estimate of copier costs for the political science program is $1,000 annually. According to the library, the cost of periodicals relating to political science in 2017–18 was $10,550.

(most are now available electronically). An estimate of copier costs for the political science program is $1,000 annually. According to the library, the cost of periodicals relating to political science in 2017–18 was $10,550.

F. If the space, equipment, supplies, and library resources are not adequate, what would it cost to make them adequate?

N/A

VII. Duplication

A. How does this degree program complement others at the University?

As noted elsewhere, the political science program provides one service course in the liberal arts core (POS 101: American Government), and during the spring 2018 semester the program relocated to the School of Public Administration and the newly created Department of Government. Given the historical connection between political science and public administration, faculty can teach across disciplines. Similarly, the program's affiliation with the Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences will persist, and faculty will teach courses in that area (e.g., BSS 300: Statistics and 301: Research Methods).

B. How could this degree program's objective be accomplished equally well through another program?

There is no similar program offered at the University. Although political science and public administration

87

Page 90 Download HTML

are intrinsically related, there are differences. According to Rutgers (2018), “the fundamental difference between the two comes down to methodology. Political Science involves the creation of policy and strategy. Public Administration involves the implementation of that strategy…The schism between…is quite similar, although not identical” (Rutgers, 2018, para The fundamental) [online.rutgers.edu/resources/articles/the-difference-between-public-administration-and-political-science/?program=mpa].

C. What courses in this degree program are duplicated, in whole or in part, in other programs, unit or divisions?

Political science offers one course (POS 311: Comparative Government) that is comparable to another offered in the public administration program (PUA: 304: Comparative Administrative Systems and Policies). Political science majors take BSS 300 and BSS 301 (see VI(A)) in the Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences.

D. What can be done to eliminate the duplication of these courses?

The POS 311 or PUA 304 could be eliminated, although academic advisors can simply divert students in each program to one particular course as a suitable substitution, thereby eliminating the need to offer two courses.

E. What are the geographic, demographic, and cultural advantages to this degree program?

As with any program offered at the University as an HBCU, there is the unique opportunity to attract a diversity of students, especially females and racial minorities, to study political science. Located in the capital city, students are especially positioned to take advantage of the opportunities to see and participate in government activities, such as internships and legislative activities.

VIII. Critical Mass

A. How can this degree program be improved to make it more attractive to students?

Recruitment is crucial to program survival among any program, but more importantly, these efforts are needed for programs that are not widely known or understood. In an article by Jaschik (2010), the author (citing Röhss) states, "If you want to be relevant as a discipline...you have to recruit people who want to be relevant. And in this respect, [the] American political science departments are not doing well" (para If you want) [www.insidehighered.com/news/2010/09/07/polisci]. The Task Force on Political Science in the 21st Century recommended change in political science programs to be more relevant. Jaschik (citing Skocpol) notes, "part of making political science 'attractive to a full range of undergraduates' is in fact to think about relevance...the discipline 'needs to be engaged in the most exciting real world issues'" (para A plan for). The author (citing Putnam) continues, "the 'most important' reform for the discipline is to focus 'on things that the rest of the citizens of our country are concerned about' and on research that relates to issues that 'ordinary Americans' think are important" (para A plan for). In addition, the tuition assistance program currently offered to state employees in selected agencies should be expanded to all state employees; this, too, will require recruitment of Cabinet Secretaries to support this effort. Courses should also be offered at non-traditional days and times, such as on Saturdays and in the evening to accommodate students working traditional schedules. Creation of a Public Service Leadership Institute housed at the University that provides applied, practitioner-focused training could strengthen interest in the program.

Creation of a Public Service Leadership Institute housed at the University that provides applied, practitioner-focused training could strengthen interest in the program.

B. If this program should be discontinued, can the faculty members teaching in it be continued in this or a related area?

Yes, the faculty are credentialed to teach in public administration.

C. Should this program be discontinued, how many faculty would still be needed to teach?

Both faculty could be retained in the public administration program, which is currently in need of additional faculty to meet its master’s in public administration accreditation standards.

D. Should the program be enhanced, suspended, consolidated or eliminated?

The subgroup recommends the continuation of the political science program. It is a unique program that helps to fulfill the mission of the University.

E. What would be the impact on the unit/division/University if this degree program were eliminated?

There are a number of impacts should the political science program be discontinued. As noted in V(D),

88

Page 91 Download HTML

the program generates revenue for the University in spite of the number of declared majors through a service course in the liberal arts core and the high school dual credit program. Savings in terms of faculty salaries would not occur if the faculty is reassigned to another area, such as public administration. No direct impact on the Department of Government is foreseen.

IX. Future of This Program

A look at allocation, cost effectiveness, more efficient use of resources, personnel accountability and better improvement for student success.

A. Are alternative platforms for delivery of this program feasible? If so, how? If not, why not?

The program offers courses in a traditional face-to-face, virtual and hybrid formats. Courses could also be offered using ITV.

B. What are the opportunities for collaboration between this degree program and the Land Grant program?

There is potential to collaborate with the University's land-grant program, especially in the area of family and consumer sciences and cooperative Extension. These areas are concerned with the relationship between individuals, families, communities and the environment in which they live, which relate to political science.

C. What are the opportunities for collaboration between this degree program and other Universities?

Many public and private institutions offer a degree in political science in Kentucky (e.g., University of Kentucky, University of Louisville, Centre College, Murray State University, Berea College, University of the Cumberland and Transylvania University, to name a few). Consortium agreements among universities are fairly common. There are many benefits to consortium agreements, such as students' use of resources among participating institutions. They can provide students with an opportunity to take courses at participating institutions that may not be available at their home institution.

There are many benefits to consortium agreements, such as students' use of resources among participating institutions. They can provide students with an opportunity to take courses at participating institutions that may not be available at their home institution.

D. What potential does this program have for growth in the next five (5) years?

As noted elsewhere, the field of political science itself is not expected to grow significantly over the next decade. Obviously, there is a direct correlation between political science programs producing graduates (supply) and growth in the field (demand). It is anticipated that the political science program will experience a similar pattern of growth based on current trends.

E. What evidence supports the potential for growth of this program?

Anecdotally, if the political science program averages 18 majors since 2013, it is not expected that this program will significantly increase enrollment in the near term without more extensive recruitment efforts.

Comments from Dr. Wilfred Reilly, Assistant Professor.

KSU Political Science Program: Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantage Points

Contribution to Campus: POS is the sole department that teaches the U.S. Government/Intro American Government classes—generally two courses per semester—which are a requirement for students across campus. POS faculty also teach roughly half of the research methods classes required for all behavioral and social sciences students. Faculty would still be needed to teach all of these classes if the POS program were eliminated.

Relationship with New Minor, Larger Department: In addition to methodology courses, POS contributes two of the five instructors available to teach courses in the recently created Intelligence and Counter-Terrorism minor. Very arguably, some or all of the nine (?) annual graduates of ICT should be combined with our eight graduates when annual figures are calculated.

Quality of Faculty: Both POS faculty have terminal Ph.D. degrees in the discipline. Our Africanist is from Africa. Our Con. Law guy has a J.D. and a Ph.D. The junior member of the team has written a book and debated the founder of the alt-right. One hundred percent of POS classes are taught by credentialed faculty with a terminal degree.

Faculty-to-Graduates Ratio: POS averages only seven to nine graduates per year, but is a sub-unit of a larger division and employs only two faculty members. We do not employ adjuncts in POS. That's not a bad ratio of graduates to faculty: roughly four per FM per year. That ratio is well over the baseline of eight-graduates-per-four-years that would probably mean definite elimination. It also seems to be above the KSU median. KSU employs roughly 120 faculty members, but almost certainly had fewer than 480 graduates last year.

per FM per year. That ratio is well over the baseline of eight-graduates-per-four-years that would probably mean definite elimination. It also seems to be above the KSU median. KSU employs roughly 120 faculty members, but almost certainly had fewer than 480 graduates last year.

Fully Accredited Program: The POS program at Kentucky State is a fully accredited national-level program that offers a curriculum fully in accordance with American Political Science Association (APSA) learning goals. We offer three standard and well-designed specializations in the discipline—constitutional law, world politics and legislative/executive politics, as well as core courses in state and local government (POS 160), metropolitan government (201), introduction to politics (211), statistics (300) and classical political theory (355). As noted, we also co-lead classes including research methods (301), senior thesis paper (BSS 499) and terrorism (BSS 468). This is a good political science program, with a solid curriculum.

Necessity: Frankly put, almost all major U.S. universities—roughly 94 percent (Ginsberg 2011)—have political science programs. POS is one of the core social sciences, along with psychology and history, and generally teaches all of the basic government classes on a campus (we do here). It would be extremely odd if a land-grant state university located in a major state's political capital did not have a political science program.

Job Opportunities: Point #7 relates to Point #6. Kentucky State is located in the Kentucky state capital, roughly one mile by foot from the Capitol building, and job opportunities are unusually plentiful for POS graduates. The POS Department at Kentucky State administers our popular Legislative Research Council internship, which places three to four current students and graduates on state senatorial staffs annually. Dr. Reilly also oversees an independent senatorial internship program. Political entities such as the State Department, FBI and Border Patrol send representatives to each Kentucky State job fair, and specifically target POS students. Past POS graduates such as Jacob Turner-Barrett and Katelyn Drake—available

for comment—have experienced great success in moving from the program to law school or professional employment, and this is almost certain to continue.

Negatives

Small Size: Seven to nine graduates annually is NOT IDEAL. That is why we're here. We want to grow. You want us to grow.

Funding: Both current faculty members are primarily article writers, and could pursue more grants—to everyone's benefit on campus.

Overwork: As with virtually every KSU program, our faculty regularly teach four to six classes per semester. This can affect performance, and we cannot ethically change it until we get more students.

semester. This can affect performance, and we cannot ethically change it until we get more students.

Comments from Dr. Emmanuel Amadife, Professor and Coordinator:

Political Science Program at KSU

As former chair of BSS for over 16 years and a faculty member in that content area, I strongly recommend that the POS program be continued without modification. The program has a fairly good faculty-to-graduate ratio that averages seven to nine graduates per year with only two full-time faculty. It also has great potential for growth, especially with the merging of POS to the newly created Department of Government/Public Administration.

KENTUCKY STATE UNIVERSITY Board of Regents

DATE: June 7, 2018

SUBJECT: Academic Growth and Innovative Structure

FROM: ___ Office of Academic Affairs

ACTION ITEM: Yes

BACKGROUND:

The Kentucky State University Office of Academic Affairs is proposing to restructure its academic units in an effort to remove barriers to collaboration and communication and increase efficiencies between departments, schools, and colleges. Under the proposed plan, several current units will be renamed and restructured. The proposed structure is designed to better support existing degree programs and general education, and to provide context for the establishment of new academic offerings.

The proposed academic structure provides structural and operational expansion and reorganization of academic units or functions in order to achieve a performance based outcome that exceeds what could be achieved with the current organization. Over the past decade the academic structure, college names, and departmental clusters have been in continual flux. The Office of Academic Affairs has worked in tandem with the faculty and academic deans to propose a stable academic structure for Kentucky State University.

This academic structure is essential to ensure Kentucky State University has properly aligned its academic programs and administration in a manner, scope, and sequence allowing the University:

To have distinctive programs that provide high-quality education;

To attract top student scholars and faculty;

To produce prepared, high-quality graduates and achieve academic excellence across all programs and colleges.

KENTUCKY STATE UNIVERSITY Board of Regents

SUMMARY OF PROGRAMS/ACTIVITIES:

In accordance with The Gold Book: Bylaws of the Kentucky State University Board of Regents, the President recommends to the Board of Regents an administrative structure and plan of organization needed for the successful conduct of the University.

Current List of Deans Reporting to the Provost – AY 2017

Dean, College of Agriculture, Food Science, and Sustainable Systems

Dean, College of Humanities and Social Sciences

Dean, College of Professional Studies

Proposed List of Deans Reporting to the Provost – AY 2018

Dean, College of Agriculture, Communities, and the Environment

Dean, College of Business and Computational Sciences

Dean, College of the Humanities and Social Sciences

Dean, College of Natural, Applied, and Health Sciences

Dean, College of Public Service and Leadership Studies

This proposed academic structure promotes interdisciplinary engagement and supports the articulated development of the SACS Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP). While creating efficiencies and improving the alignment of academic majors, the stabilized academic structure has the potential for enhancing traditional majors alongside innovative inter-departmental programs for better response and adjustment to the demands of the job market. The administrative structure frames each academic major to ensure a rigorous general education foundation, focused on developing strong written and oral communication skills with interpersonal skills and creativity in problem solving skills that can lead to gainful employment.

Three primary considerations served as guiding criteria during the academic stabilization process - efficiency, growth, and excellence.

The efficiency criterion prioritizes the creation of synergy among programs, faculty, and students.

The growth criterion provides each college and unit with a likelihood of increased enrollment and higher retention and graduation rates.

The excellence criterion establishes intra-college options for securing new sources of extramural funding, possibilities for new research consortia, and a dynamic attractive to high caliber graduate students.

KENTUCKY STATE UNIVERSITY Board of Regents

ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC GOALS:

GOAL 1— Enhance student enrollment, improve student life and engagement, and improve student advising and career development.

The academic growth and innovative structure provides new and improved collaborative research, teaching, and service opportunities for faculty and students. Even more, it portends the anticipated development of new academic majors. New programs (particularly, at the graduate level) will serve as a magnet for faculty, students, stakeholders, industry, and government.

GOAL 2 – Achieve academic excellence across all programs and colleges, increase student general education skills, degree persistence, career readiness and graduation rates.

This structure supports the requisite curricular requirements of each of the existing Kentucky State University degree majors, Council on Postsecondary Education guidelines for general education, and provides rich context to the establishment of new academic offerings. Each of the academic college configurations results in significantly increased benefits and opportunities.

COMMITTEE/PROGRAM ACTION: N/A
