^ OPINION Thursday, November 15, 2001 www.skiff.tcu.edu Page 3 Our views HELP WANTED More faculty needed for students sake One of the first lessons they teach in Elementary Statistics is that numbers can lie. TCU's printed student-faculty ratio has been misleading the public for years. The 15-1 ratio looks good on paper, but it represents an average of the university as a whole instead of reflecting true numbers campuswide. When looking at colleges, students often want a place with a "small school feel." In some majors, TCU doesn't just feel small; it's downright tiny. But generally, as the university has grown, the chances of getting lost in a lecture hall have increased dangerously. The numbers don't reflect the real need. TCU needs more full- time faculty for certain growing departments. Students will be bet- ter served. But the challenge lies in a lack of practical funding. Chancellor Michael Ferrari has said high-quality institu- tions want ratios as low as possible, but he also stresses the importance of keeping tuition costs reasonable. And so the balancing act begins. Departments are waging war against both an administra- tion who needs to tighten the purse strings and a student population tired of seeing costs rise each year. Adding faculty takes time, money and facility space, but in some departments there's a dire faculty shortage. TCU Don't race to blame administration must find a practical solution to a problem which has been Looking at the pictures, I literally tion, which were posted at a local pho- 13 of their members indefinitely. population proved it could not be slowing creeping up on us.
