FTEF
is from the CDPS Course Section Report. This represents the
FTEF used to teach courses in each subject and may not match
the FAD report which summarizes FTEF by department of appointment.
Therefore, the Student /Faculty Ratios indicate the actual instructional
experience in each subject area.
The historical data is portrayed according to the current college configuration of departments.
