2 SECTION I: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Department of Political Science at San Francisco State University provides its graduate and undergraduate students with a broad range of courses in American politics, comparative politics, political theory and public law. These courses represent diverse themes and methodological approaches as well as new trends within the discipline, including innovative quantitative methods and courses in contentious politics and comparative political theory. Our faculty also have impressive scholarly publishing records, contributing to disciplinary debates and accumulated knowledge with monographs and journal articles. They also play important roles in the larger community, providing expert insights in television, radio and print media.

The department faces three main challenges. First, at the undergraduate level, where our number of majors has risen sharply, we find it difficult to meet student demand for service courses and for required courses in the major, especially high-demand core and GWAR classes, and breadth courses in subfields such as comparative politics. This has been alleviated somewhat with a new hire in American politics and by hiring lecturers, but new TT hires are needed. Second, at the graduate level, we are having trouble recruiting students capable of graduate level work. Though measures have been taken to improve the quantity and quality of applicants, the program may need to adopt new delivery formats and options to attract enough qualified students to maintain the viability of the existing program in the current economic climate. Third, our faculty struggle to balance a 3-3 teaching load and advising responsibilities with their research and service activities, and--because of the extremely high cost of living in the San Francisco Bay Area-- many commute long distances to campus. This means our faculty is stretched very thin and that it is a challenge to foster a scholarly community, provide more regular student advising, and plan new directions for our curriculum. We are very concerned that the discrepancy between salaries and the cost of living will make it increasingly difficult to recruit and retain qualified faculty.

3 SECTION II: OVERVIEW OF THE PROGRAM

Overview and Defining Characteristics of the Program The Department of Political Science at SFSU is a mid-sized department within the College of Liberal and Creative Arts. As of fall 2017 we had 727 total students (undergraduate majors, minors and graduate students) in the program, the fifth highest number in a 22-department college. In 2017-2018 we had 16 tenure-track and tenured faculty and another 11 part- or full- time lecturers. We are primarily a brick-and-mortar program but now also offer a number of fully online courses. Our faculty typically teach a 3-3 course load.

The department was formally established in the mid-1960s within the new School of Behavioral and Social Sciences (later the College of BSS). Prior to that time, it was a concentration in the Social Science Division. In 2012, following the restructuring of the University’s colleges and the disbanding of BSS, we became part of the College of Liberal and Creative Arts. The department offers an undergraduate BA in political science, an MA in political science, and a minor in political science. Along with methods courses, it offers undergraduate courses in four main subfields: American politics, comparative politics, political theory, and public law, and in three main subfields at the graduate level: American, comparative, and theory.

The Political Science Department is narrower than many similar departments across the country for two main reasons. First, SFSU offers a separate BA program in Urban Studies and Planning and separate Masters in Public Administration. These are areas that are often included as part of political science departments at other universities. Since the college reorganization of 2012, these programs--with which political science formerly worked closely--are now housed in the College of Health and Social Sciences. While there is still some effort to share courses, coordinate class schedules, and at collaboration, this recent institutional divide has made it much more challenging to work together.

Second, the subfield of international relations at SFSU is taught in a separate Department of International Relations rather than, as at most universities, as one of a half dozen subfields within a single political science program. Though this departmental divide is unusual, over time the two departments have developed their own distinctive characteristics. Whereas the Political Science Department closely reflects traditional disciplinary concerns and methods, the IR Department has an interdisciplinary faculty and curriculum. The two departments' relationship was originally combative but has steadily improved, and today it is collaborative and mutually supportive. Several attempts to merge the two programs have failed; calls to do so came from higher up in the administration and not from either of the two departments. The IR department is quite unique and does not wish to join Political Science. Political Science in turn respects the autonomy and uniqueness of IR. Students from both departments have been able to take advantage of courses offered by area specialists in each department.

Without IR, the Political Science Department is somewhat narrower in scope, but also deeper in the curriculum we do offer. This is especially true of the subfield of political theory, which is one of the largest and most topically diverse in the country in terms of course offerings and number of TT and lecturer faculty who specialize in this area.

4 History of Faculty Hiring Political movements of the 1960s—including the 1968 strike at SFSU that shut down campus— led to increased student interest in politics, increased student enrollment and an increase in faculty in the Department of Political Science (reaching 17 tenure track faculty in the early 1970s). Retiring faculty combined with high attrition led a reduction in full-time faculty in the late 1970s and 1980s, despite hiring Robert Smith in American politics and Amita Shastri in comparative politics in 1989.

This attrition was not reversed until the hiring of comparativists Andrei Tsygankov in 2000 and Angelika Von Wahl in 2001, both of whom had split positions with IR. In 2002, the department hired three tenure track professors: Sujian Guo (comparative), Francis Neely (American politics) and James Martel (political theory). In 2003, the department hired Corey Cook (American politics), who subsequently left in 2006 to take a job at the University of San Francisco. That year, the department also hired Nicole Watts (comparative) and Sheldon Gen (public administration, a one third appointment split with the department of Public Administration— afterwards he became 100% public administration). In 2007, the department hired Tiffany Willoughby-Herard (political theory, who since left), Graeme Boushey (to replace Corey Cook, but who also since left), and Martin Carcieri (public law).

We have made a number of hires in the decade since 2008, but we have also lost a significant number of faculty to other programs or to retirement. Like other departments at our university, we were also hard hit by a series of budget crises, particularly in the years 2009-2011, when our faculty took a temporary pay cut (furloughs) and there was a catastrophic decline in paid lecturer positions. At one point we were down to just two lecturers, although that number has rebounded. The department as a whole suffered from a dramatic decrease in funds available for travel, conferences, events on campus and other things previously funded by money from the college or other sources. Those funding resources have not been fully restored.

Just before the impact of the budget crisis hit us in 2008 we hired Katherine Gordy (political theory). The next year, we lost Angelika Von Wahl, who took a position elsewhere. Subsequently we have worked particularly hard to hire (and keep) new faculty in the field of American politics: Jason McDaniel and Aaron Belkin in 2009, Marcela García-Castañon in 2013, Justin Peck in 2015 (Peck left in 2017), Ron Hayduk (hired at the associate level) in 2016, and Rebecca Eisler, who joins the faculty in the fall of 2018. In 2011, another theorist, Joel Kassiola, formerly the Dean of the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences, joined the department as a full-time faculty member (though he teaches one course a year in the Department of Philosophy). We also hired Nicholas Conway in 2017 to expand our offerings in public law. As of the fall of 2018, we will have five Americanists, three theorists, two professors focusing on public law, and 3.3 comparativists. The comparativist subfield has few offerings, however, due to the fact that both Nicole Watts (chair) and Andrei Tsygankov (who is only one third in the department of political science) teach one course a semester. Comparativist Amita Shastri teaches a number of GE courses and will be on a reduced teaching load through the Faculty Early Retirement Program (FERP) beginning in fall of 2018. Among the comparativists, only Sujian Guo normally teaches a full load. Cross-listed courses with international relations have helped somewhat to satisfy the need for comparative courses.

5 Faculty attrition combined with a sharp increase in the number of majors has meant that our student-TT faculty ratio is now 56-to-1. This is the fifth highest in the college. In essence, our number of TT faculty has remained relatively stable while demand for our courses has dramatically increased. In 2005 we had 11 TT faculty; in 2011 we had 12, and in the fall of 2017 we had 13 who actually taught classes for us. Of those 13, four only taught one class.

The increase in student demand coupled with the addition of new, university-mandated program requirements such as GWARs and culminating experience courses has meant a significant shift towards lecturer-taught courses. We now rely on part- and full-time lecturers to teach around half of our courses. In the fall of 2018, for instance, half of our undergraduate sections will be taught by lecturers hired by our department (26 sections out of 52 total). Lecturers teach the majority of sections of the GE-required PLSI 200 as well as most of our lower-division core classes. They also teach most of our upper-division GWAR classes and other upper-division breadth classes. In the spring of 2018 we had 11 lecturers teaching one or more classes for us. We have five lecturers with PhDs. The rest have at least an MA, six of whom originally received this degree from our department.

Student Demographics: Recent Trends Our number of undergraduate majors has risen by 53 percent since 2011. In the fall of 2011 we had 426 undergraduate majors (primary and secondary), and in the fall of 2017 we had 653 majors. This is an increase of 277 students. Another 45 students are minoring in political science and another 25 are doing an MA in our department. Our FTES increased from 404 in the fall of 2010 to 516 in the fall of 2017.

During this time our student body has become increasing diverse. As of fall 2017, 46 percent of our majors identify as Hispanic/Latina; 28 percent identify as Asian or another ethnicity; 7 percent as African-American; and 24 percent as white. Historically, the majority of the students were white. Another demographic shift has been one of gender: today 56 percent of our undergraduate majors are women, compared to 47 percent in 2011. On other diversity indexes, we have a significant number of students who now openly identify as LGBTQ, although we don’t yet have data to offer for this.

While the number of political science majors has steadily increased, the percentage of political science students graduating within four years has declined. Only a quarter of our first-time- freshman majors graduate now within four years, down from about 38 percent in 2004. The 6- year-graduation rate for our majors (first-time freshmen) is 57.9 percent, though it is significantly higher for transfer students (around 75 percent).

We believe the rising ratio of tenure track faculty to students in part helps explain this change, because a lack of TT faculty means less advising, less time for student mentoring, and fewer faculty to teach required courses such as PLSI 300 and culminating experience seminars. Another factor contributing to slower graduation rates is the high number of non-major courses (GE, complementary studies, etc.) required of every major, which means that many students interested in political science are often not able to begin taking our courses until relatively late in their careers at SFSU. It is clear that many need more advising than they receive. This lack of quality advising is partially due to students failing to seek out advising until very late in their

6 studies and partially due to the lack of faculty resources to enable us offer as much advising as needed. Historically, undergraduate advising was done by a dedicated faculty member who received a course release, but as of 2013 we lost the funding for this, and advising became dispersed among our faculty. Though this means more faculty gain expertise in the requirements of the major, a dispersed advising scenario that changes with each semester does result in less systematic advising and the need to continually update and re-train faculty advisors.

One challenge we have faced, especially since the major budget crises, has been lack of funding for teaching assistants. We teach some of the largest service courses in the entire university, especially PLSI 200, and yet we have at most three or four funded TAs per semester. This seriously hampers our ability to attract good graduate students and makes it more difficult to meet the needs of the hundreds of undergrads who take PLSI 200 Intro to American Politics. Notably, very few of these students are political science majors.

Changes in Department Emphases Substantively, the department has changed in several important ways. In the 1980s and 1990s, it was known for its urban politics focus, based on seminal work by Browning, Marshall, and Tabb and on Richard DeLeon's book on San Francisco Left Coast Politics. Over time, that focus has faded somewhat, although significant initiative begun with Marcela García-Castañon and Jason McDaniel called the Bay Area Research Initiative (BARI), a survey research center housed inside the department, has restored an urban politics focus to some extent. Several other new areas of specialization have also been developed.

First, the department has expanded and updated its coverage of political theory, including non- Western/comparative political theory. Many political science departments have one or two theorists who teach the canon and offer little else. Ours is a rich offering of traditional and non- traditional political theory. Professors Kassiola, Martel, Gordy, and Carcieri contribute in this area. Several of our lecturers also teach upper-division classes in political theory, including courses on political theories of sexuality, anarchist political theory, Marxist political theory and other related courses. Over roughly the past 12 years, the department has made efforts to hire political theorists working in the ever growing field of comparative political theory. This field, is very much on the cutting edge of theory and calls for the inclusion of non-Western or non- European political thought into the study of political theory. The department lost one of its hires in this area (Tiffany Willoughby-Herard, who worked on South Africa), but both Katherine Gordy’s work on Latin America and Joel Kassiola’s work on China are part of this area.

Second, our judicial politics and public law program has grown tremendously in the last decade, becoming one of the strongest in the state. Though we had a judicial internship and several courses in public law in the early 2000s, the internship was managed in an ad hoc fashion and our offerings were relatively thin. Former SFSU President Corrigan offered support for the judicial internship program and ultimately helped our department institutionalize it under the supervision of Prof. Michael Graham (who retired from our department in spring of 2018). The program is now a popular, valuable and well-established part of our public law offerings. Since Marty Carcieri and Nick Conway joined our department our public law curriculum has grown substantially. We now offer nine substantive upper division courses in public law, as well as the judicial internship.

7 Third, the department has developed and expanded its curriculum in empirical methods. Professors Neely, García-Castañon, and McDaniel are teaching courses specifically on quantitative methods or incorporate those topics into their substantive offerings. Nick Conway is also highly skilled in empirical methods and integrates some of them into his coursework. Assistant Professor Rebecca Eissler, joining us in the fall of 2018, will bring the total number of quantitative-methods-trained faculty to five. Two courses in advanced techniques have been added in the past five years: PLSI 462 Applied Public Opinion Research and PLSI 605 Senior Seminar: Students' Choice Applied Research Methods. The former course is connected to the aforementioned large, multi-year research initiative by Marcela García-Castañon called the Bay Area Research Initiative. The latter senior seminar guides students through semester-long projects that, once completed, are presented at student research conferences. Interest in these courses has been promoted through a generous gift from an emeritus professor, Gene Geisler. His endowment to the Department produces two annual $6,000 awards for the best graduate and undergraduate empirical research projects.

Fourth, since 2003 and especially in the last 5-7 years the department has developed rich offerings in contentious politics: activism, social movements, and dissent. This area is taught by faculty from comparative politics, American politics and political theory. Student interest in this subfield is high; we have around nine courses on the books, and from this we regularly teach 2-4 courses per semester that are typically full. Among our faculty, two members (Nicole Watts and Kathy Emery) teach courses explicitly on social movements and activism, and other faculty members teach or have taught courses in the subfield (Katherine Gordy, Ron Hayduk, James Martel, Robert Smith, and several of our lecturers). No other department at SFSU offers anything like our repertoire of courses in this field or has the number of faculty qualified to teach in this area.

Programmatic and Curricular Changes in Last Ten Years The department has made a number of programmatic and curricular changes at the undergraduate and graduate levels in the last decade. One of the most significant has been to offer an increasing number of courses fully online. Our first online course was a section of PLSI 200 taught by lecturer Matthew Freeman in 2007. As of 2011, we still only offered four online sections; these included the department’s first fully online upper-division courses, taught by Nicole Watts. By comparison, in the fall of 2018 we are using the iLearn platform to offer 16 online sections (out of 52 total undergraduate sections). All but one are fully online rather than hybrid. These sections comprise seven different lower- and upper-division classes. They are capped at 40-60 students. Though we are teaching online and appreciate the educational benefits, we still strive to make our online courses as interactive as possible through video lectures, interactive forums, group projects, and other assignments. Our department also helped to pioneer the CourseMatch system that allows students across the CSU to take courses online.

Changes to the undergraduate major include the addition of a senior seminar, conceptualized as a capstone course. These seminars, limited to 20 students, focus on various subfields of political science and draw upon the professor’s own research interests. To compensate for the three units that we added to the major for this requirement, we lowered the number of required elective units.

8 Given the change to a new GE system, every course in political science that met GE requirements had to be revamped and reevaluated according to the new metric. The department took this as an opportunity to ensure that our courses were aligned with the new GE requirements and our program learning objectives. Recently the department also updated both its mission statement and its program learning objectives. For several years now students at SFSU have also had to fulfill complementary studies requirements of units outside our major on subjects relevant to political science; we reviewed the entire university curriculum and chose specific courses that we felt best complemented our own courses. Our website now has a complete list of those courses.

The university’s assessment requirements have been changing over the last decade, and the department’s own assessment criteria have changed along with them. Early on, the department used a simple global rubric that was adapted into an assessment rubric for our introductory courses (as well as a corresponding one for our graduate courses). We are now considering new assessment tools based on changes in the program (as reflected in our updated mission statement and program learning objectives). Possible steps include exit surveys for seniors completing the senior capstone course and a faculty committee assessment of a sampling of capstone research papers.

The Graduate Program also underwent a major alteration in curriculum in 2009. The biggest change was to create a new required course, PLSI 700 Research Design, that all students have to take their first year of the program. The idea of this course was to advance the rigor of the program, create a student cohort, and ensure that students had good training in research methods that could then allow them to be more successful in their other classes. We believe this change has worked.

We also renumbered our graduate courses because the old system was confusing and several courses had the same number. We created PLSI 740, 760 and 780 as the key seminars in American, comparative and theory. Seminars in each field follow in the same number (so that all American courses, for example, are in the 740s). We also changed the number of units for graduate courses from 4 to three to bring the program in line with other MA programs at SFSU. Because of the lower number of units per course, we also increased the number of electives required to finish the MA. Because we now have a research design course, the department felt it was no longer necessary to require PLSI 300 or its equivalent as the basis for admission to the program, and eliminated that requirement.

Around the same time that we made the changes to the grad program, the department began to actively recruit new students in response to a nationwide drop in applications that has acutely affected us along with departments across the country. We feel this has been only moderately successful; while we have managed to maintain our number of applications for the last few years, our yield is quite low, and we still find it difficult to attract and enroll high-caliber students in the way we were able to do a decade ago.

Policy Changes Regarding Faculty The most significant changes to policy regarding faculty is a thorough overall and updating of our RTP processes and guidelines. Another significant shift has involved undergraduate

9 advising, which for many years was done primarily by a TT faculty member who received a course release. After the administration no longer gave us this release, we decided to distribute advising amongst our TT-T faculty. This meant nearly all our faculty were assigned approximately 50 advisees each semester. Lists of advisees are posted and revised each semester.

Future Hopes for the Department While there are many aspects of the program that we celebrate and appreciate, we also have a variety of hopes for the future about how we might improve the experience for students and faculty alike. First, we would like to be in a position to be able to lower our student-TT faculty ratio. Second, we would like to hire new faculty to buttress our offerings in subfields where gaps now exist. Third, we would like to have a faculty demographic that better reflects our very diverse student body and the larger Bay Area. Fourth, we'd like to have created more of a sense of cohort among our students (both undergraduate and graduate) and improved advising so as be able to get our students through the program in a timely fashion. Our first-time freshmen (students who begin their academic careers at SFSU) in particular tend to take close to 6 years to graduate. Finally, we hope to have our students capable of higher-quality writing and analysis. Many of these hopes are, of course, interrelated.

Survey Data on the Program’s Most Pressing Challenges and Achievements We have access to two primary sources of survey data. First, there is the data collected from political science alumni discussed later in this section. Then, this past spring 2018, Professors García-Castañon, Watts, Kassiola and Conway designed, fielded and analyzed a survey of all declared undergraduate and graduate student majors enrolled in our program as of January 2018. The survey was sent to 661 majors. The response rate of 36% resulted in 247 surveys, with 85% completed. 19 graduate students responded. The survey covered topics related to program and curriculum, student experiences, and faculty interactions.

The survey results point to our success as a program that is representative of the diverse student body at SFSU and, at the same time, the challenges of meeting the needs of students facing myriad obstacles and responsibilities outside of the classroom. Many in the program are the first in their family to go to college (50%), navigating college life alone or with limited familial help. Most work, the majority (79%) at least part-time. Their experiences are unique in other ways. Over 1 in 5 (22%) speak English as a second language. 12% are international/immigrant students.16% are ‘non-traditional’ or returning to college after a year or longer. Students represent various other populations: disabled/disability eligible students (5%), undocumented students (5%), student-parents (5%), veterans or active military (4%), student-athletes (3%) and the formerly incarcerated (1%). These diverse experiences enrich, challenge, and illuminate many of the issues the students study in our courses. They also represent the complex trajectory many have taken towards completing a degree (as evidenced by our transfer population).

Our student population is split between traditional four year attendees (49%) and transfer students (51%). Among the transfer population, most start at only one other institution (54%) before SFSU. The remainder have been to at least two other (46%) institutions. Given the characteristics of our students, their journey to SFSU has often been long and difficult. However, most are hopeful that they’ll complete their degree within the next two years, with 67% receiving major advising before or within their first year of declaring the major. The majority (87%) plan

10 to graduate within the next two years, by spring 2019. A quarter, 26%, planned to graduate this past Spring 2018, while 16% plan to graduate by the end of this year. A plurality, 37%, plan to graduate in Spring 2019, while 8% plan to graduate by the end of 2019. Most undergraduate students are on their way towards meeting this goal. While 40% are less than halfway through the major (fewer than 7 courses), most are near completion, with 22% within one semester and 39% within a course or two of major requirements. As of Spring 2018, 75% report having met with an advisor, which points to a strong contact rate, but one that could be improved.

While a third of students (32%) had no trouble getting into any course, the majority (68%) did report difficulty getting into at least one PLSI course. Nearly half (46%) had a difficult time getting into PLSI 300, a core requirement; faculty teaching PLSI 300 regularly have multiple requests for add codes in the first week. Because this is a methods and statistics oriented course, many students delay taking the course until their final year, further compounding demand as our graduating classes grow.

One in five of our students reported difficulty getting into PLSI 478 (18%) Judicial Process. Because almost two-thirds of our students express interest in going to law school, and because PLSI 478 is required for some upper-division public law courses, student access to this class is particularly important. Additional sections have been added with the hiring of Dr. Conway, but this has alleviated, but not resolved the problem of high demand. These strains will continue without increased hiring in Public Law and American Politics (which is underserved because all PLSI 300 instructors come from this field).

We try to meet the challenges facing students, particularly first generation undergraduates who have little/no guidance in higher education. Many students express an interest in workshops that help them navigate their professional options after graduation. However, limited faculty time and resources make workshop offerings contingent and intermittent.

These findings demonstrate that we are serving our students, their interests, and their academic careers efficiently, but in a limited capacity. Many of these students are experiencing regular hardships that prohibit in-depth involvement in the major, or even regular course attendance. Many faculty take steps to account for such experiences in a myriad of ways. However, the challenges presented by the limited resources among our students, and the limited resources available in the department to help students (principally through faculty and faculty availability), makes meeting multiple challenges more difficult.

In addition to our own survey, we have had access to a survey sent out this past March and April via email to 2604 alumni political science majors. 191 people responded. 66% had come in as transfer students and 34% a freshman. 77% had done their BA with us, 7% had done a double major, 5% had done their BA and MA with us and another 9% had done their MA with us. Questions asked about career trajectories after graduating from our program, about least and most valuable coursework at SFSU, about confidence levels in qualitative and quantitative analysis and major challenges. Several of the results appear to comport with our own program survey. In response to the question of obstacles to completing their studies, the most frequent answer was class availability, followed by work demands and housing costs. Respondents

11 expressed gratitude for useful advisors, but also frustration with lack of information. It also appears that it has long been the case that many of our students are transfer students. Among the mostly frequently listed skills that alumni said they acquired through their coursework with us were, in order of frequency, writing, researching, analysis, critical thinking, communication, and public speaking. Alumni also mentioned skills such as statistics and more specific content such as knowledge of American politics and political theory. Over 80% said that they felt confident, very confident, or extremely confident about their writing skills and their qualitative reasoning skills. A majority of respondents appeared to be satisfied with the faculty’s facilitation of their learning, availability and accessibility, and knowledge of the field, with less positive satisfaction with the faculty’s ability to provide the more practical aspects of their education such as internships and research experience and preparation for specific careers.

Any conclusions drawn from the alumni survey should be qualified by the fact that only 191 responded. Moreover, while the respondents represent many generations of alumni, there are not statistics on the race, gender or sexual orientation of the applicants. Also, in spite of capturing the views of many generations (graduation dates went as far back as 1961), alumni survey results are somewhat limited by the fact that roughly 70% of the responses are from students who graduated before 2010 and roughly 45% of responses come from people graduating before 2000. The analysis does not tell us how other responses correspond to these breakdowns and indeed several of the written responses emphasized that their responses about and experiences in the program were likely dated.

According to the survey, 58% went on to graduate educations after SFSU. Frequently listed fields (in order of frequency) included MA programs (including MBAs and MPAs), law school and PhD programs. Many also went on to get their teaching credentials. Again, while somewhat limited, this does correspond with what have been the trajectories of many of our students. Indeed, we have had many students go on to graduate school and do exemplary work. For instance, there are currently four students, who, armed with only a BA from our department, are now completing their second years at top law schools - two at Berkeley, one at Georgetown, and one at Cornell. Moreover, of the ten SFSU alumni who graduated from Hastings Law school in May of 2018, the only two who were both in the top 15% of their graduating class and editors of the flagship Hastings Law Journal received BAs from our department.

The Program’s Relationship to the Discipline As noted above, our program does not include the subfield of international relations and in this sense, is somewhat unconventional. In other ways, however, our program is very much attuned to and reflective of disciplinary trends and areas of innovation. Within the subfield of political theory, faculty research and teaching interests represent a variety of important substantive and methodological disciplinary trends in the areas of anarchism, comparative political theory and environmental political thought. James Martel’s work reflects a renewed interest in anarchist political thought and practice. His unique methodological contribution has been to provide anarchist readings of political theorists not conventionally understood to be anarchists, including Thomas Hobbes, Walter Benjamin and Louis Althusser. The work of Katherine Gordy and Joel Kassiola, working on Latin America and China respectively, are part of the ever growing field of comparative political theory. This field has now been around for over twenty years, but continues to provoke debate over method and disciplinary boundaries. It is thus still a rich terrain of

12 research and teaching. Gordy's contribution to this subfield has been to call, not just for the inclusion of Latin American and Caribbean political thought, but also for a broader approach to the study of political thought that it not limited to canonical or explicitly theoretical texts. Comparative political theory has also been an occasion to include political thought produced in the West, but by historically marginalized groups such as Black and indigenous people through the Americas, Latinos and Asians, as well as include topics like race and ethnicity. The work and courses of all our theorists touch on many of these themes.

American politics has also been affected by the call to broaden its topics for study. The increased diversity and population growth driven by Latin American immigration, as well as the contentious and divisive immigration policy reform debate centers Latinos in the American political landscape unlike in any other time in history. The study of electoral power and political behavior of the various sub-group populations under the Latino umbrella illustrates how American politics adapts and reacts to new citizenry. Moreover, it demonstrates both the challenges of new voices in an electorate and the potential influence such voices can play in changing the conversations around membership, citizenship and American identity. The arrival of Marcela García-Castañon, who works on Latino politics and immigration, has enabled us to fill this much needed gap in our curriculum. Given general demographic shifts as well as the presence of a large Latino population at SFSU and in our major, this addition is particularly significant. Both García-Castañon and Ron Hayduk teach and research in the area of immigration. Contentious politics has also become an important topic of study in American politics, again spurred by real world changes, and specifically the growth of social and political movements like Black Lives Matter as well as those organized around anti-immigration and white supremacy. These issues were covered by Professor Robert Smith (now retired) as well as our long-term lecturer Kathy Emery and our recent hire Ron Hayduk. Comparativist Nicole Watts and theorist Katherine Gordy as well as several lecturers teach and research in these areas.

The program’s large and diverse theory offerings are complemented by a large number of faculty using and teaching quantitative methods. This reflects a general trend in the field of political science toward the quantitative approach. Many students will be tasked within their future employment to demonstrate the capacity to analyze data in their problem-solving functions. The hiring of Marcela García-Castañon, Nick Conway, and Rebecca Eissler demonstrate a commitment by the department to quantitative methodology (in addition to the faculty who pre- date the new arrivals). Students have opportunities to see qualitative, as well as quantitative, approaches to the study of politics in our department.

Another trend within the discipline is an increased emphasis on innovative teaching methods. Kathy Emery’s work with the Experimental College has been by all accounts a success. Nicole Watts’s classes often involve simulations and role-playing and encourage students to do other kinds of projects such as documentaries or works of creative nonfiction. Nick Conway’s new moot court class encourages students to “do,” rather than simply receive lecture.

Institutional Challenges and Constraints The Department of Political Science, like other departments at our university, suffered greatly from the series of California budget crises in the course of the last decade or more. The crisis of 2008-2009 was particularly painful and led to a catastrophic decline in paid lecturer positions. At

13 one point we were down to just a few lecturers paid for by offset money from one professor buying out two classes in the fall semester and from money set aside to compensate for GWAR courses. We also had a great deal of difficulty getting paid TAships for our large service classes, such as PLSI 200 Intro to American Politics, which is required for all students at SFSU. Although there are a few other courses that fulfill the same requirement, PLSI 200 is the main course students take here. The department as a whole suffered from a dramatic decrease in funds available for travel, conferences, events on campus and other things previously funded by money from the college or other sources. While the number of lecturers has rebounded, in other ways we have never really recovered in terms of the resources that are made available to our faculty and students for academically oriented activities.

The Department and the Broader Mission of the University According to the 1992 Mission Statement of the University, the mission of SFSU “is to create and maintain an environment for learning that promotes respect for and appreciation of scholarship, freedom, human diversity, and the cultural mosaic of the City of San Francisco and the Bay Area; to promote excellence in instruction and intellectual accomplishment; and to provide broadly accessible higher education for residents of the region and state, as well as the nation and world.”

According to the statement, this commitment to diversity should be reflected in the student body, in the faculty and the staff of the university as well as in the curricula and the general intellectual environment. The political science department contributes to this mission in the following ways: First, as the discussion of student demographics in section 2.1 shows, our majors represent the diversity of San Francisco, racially, ethnically, and in terms of sexual orientation. As the student survey discussed in section 2.2 shows, many are first generation college students or from immigrant families. Our courses provide students with knowledge and skills in a wide range of political science topics and methods, at times focusing in and at other times zooming out to show connections between political science, on the one hand, and either real world problems or other academic disciplines, on the other. These courses teach students to think critically about their own experiences and those of the communities to which they belong as well as about those groups whose histories, cultures, and even epistemologies might be radically different.

Faculty (both TT and lecturer) model this engagement. Many participate in local community projects and contribute their expertise to the broader public through radio and television interviews and editorials. Their courses and research reflect the concerns of the student majors thematically and professionally. Many of our faculty are actively involved in their areas of study in the form of regular conference participation and scholarly publication. Those working in a particular area of the world stay connected to that area through regular research trips and investigation. While the research and teaching of our faculty represent diverse and at times opposing viewpoints and approaches, we remain collegial and respectful as a department during faculty meetings, other social functions and in our daily interactions. Our program staff also represents the diversity of the SFSU community and San Francisco more generally. Moreover, they form an integral part of the department, providing invaluable support and guidance to students and faculty alike.

14 SECTION III: PROGRAM INDICATORS

3.1 PROGRAM PLANNING

The program’s current mission statement, written and approved in March 2017, is as follows: The Department of Political Science seeks to guide students towards becoming active and informed members of the community, locally and globally. We train students in five subfields-- American Politics, Comparative Politics, Political Theory, Public Law, and Public Administration--with the aim of increasing their knowledge of the historical and geographical specificity of political power, institutions, values and practices, as well the ways in which these can be transformed. Our faculty supports students as they learn to think and act as conscious and fully engaged political agents, committed to social justice and political transparency and participation. Students leave the classroom with the knowledge and skills to open doors to diverse career opportunities.

Given that many of the faculty were involved in producing this mission statement, either writing parts or making suggestions for edits and additions, it reflects a collective and contemporary expression of the concerns, goals, strengths and achievements of our department. Our course offerings in the five subfields cover a range of thematic and methodological approaches. All reflect a concern with rooting academic work in real world problems while also attempting to understand these issues in relation to larger theoretical paradigms and theories. Our mission is to enable students to make use of a variety of frameworks to understand historically, geographically, institutionally and culturally specific political problems while also teaching them to revise those paradigms in light of new quantitative and qualitative data. In other words, our courses aim to teach student to approach empirical observation with an eye towards how framing influences what counts as knowledge and being open to reconsidering and revisiting academic paradigms in light of new information. Finally, most courses are geared toward teaching students to analyze, synthesize and discuss a variety of types of information in written and oral form. Such skills serve students seeking to work in a variety of professional fields, not related immediately to academia, such as law, public service, and more.

Annual Assessment Reports and Major Curriculum Changes For several years we tried to assess learning outcomes for our core classes. We have reports on these from 2009-2010 and 2011-2012. Ultimately, however, we did not find this exercise particularly useful, and dropped it with the re-organization of the university colleges and the changes in leadership in the dean’s offices.

The 5th cycle CAM signed in 2005 provided the following action plan for the curriculum: 1) Revise and update courses available to students to satisfy breadth requirements in the undergraduate major; 2) Explore the feasibility of requiring all undergraduate and graduate majors to take one or two courses in comparative government and/or international relations; 3) Explore ways to increase the number and revise the sequence of graduate seminars; 4) Review cross-listed courses with IR URBS, PA, and RAZA to determine whether appropriates; 5) Consider offering a constitutional law sequence if and when a new hire in public law was approved; 6) Continue efforts to assess student learning outcomes. The following action plan was

15 suggested for the faculty: 1) Request new tenure-track positions in Public Law and American Politics with a focus on social movements and women in politics; 2) Make all possible efforts to diversify the faculty through new hires; 3) Explore ways to support faculty professional development. The following proposals were made regarding students: 1) Improve and expand student advising to include career advising; 2) Rebuild the department chapter of the Alumni Association; 3) Increase faculty-student interaction in departmental governance decisions; 4) Explore ways to increase student research endeavors and student participation in faculty research. Proposals for resources included: 1) Intensify efforts to seek grants, scholarships, fellowships, and other external funding to support student activities

We have in fact implemented most of these recommendations: all the curricular recommendations have been adopted, and since 2005 we have hired two new faculty in public law. One of our new Americanists is a specialist on social movements, among other topics, and in the spring of 2018 we requested a position for a new Americanist position specializing in women and gender. We have been particularly successful in increasing student research activity in the past five years or so, particularly due to the efforts of faculty such as Francis Neely, Marcela García-Castañon, Ron Hayduk, and Kathy Emery.

We have faced the most challenges in recruiting and maintaining a diverse faculty (two of our female faculty left our department to take other positions, for instance, and in some cases female job candidates we interviewed chose to take positions elsewhere, and several female lecturers also moved away or took other positions).

The 6th cycle CAM provided the following action plan: 1) integration of IR coursework into the MA program; 2) improvement and full implementation of graduate student learning assessment; 3) review of causes and remedies to student attrition and 4) review of Level I and II Writing Requirements in order to address reported issues with student writing on comprehensive exams.

As noted in the overview of the program, International Relations remains separate from Political Science, though exchange and cooperation between the two departments is common and encouraged.

Program Wide Planning Activities The department faculty is involved in all planning processes including curriculum development and modification, faculty hiring priorities and decisions, and other activities. Most recently, we reconvened a curriculum committee to do a thorough overhaul of the curriculum, deciding, with regret, that the public administration and policy breadth should be dropped from our breadth options because we had not been able to offer courses in this subfield for many years. We also decided to drop some pre-reqs for public law courses to facilitate student enrollment in these important courses. As part of its work, the curriculum committee wrote and distributed a spring 2018 student survey of its majors to help us prioritize, schedule, and plan. All our TT/T faculty were involved in recent work to revise our RTP standards and to redesign and standardize our RTP processes. We also held a department meeting on the subject, involving lecturers in that discussion (and, ultimately, vote). We have begun a conversation about the future of our MA program and about thesis requirements; this will continue into the fall with the involvement of all our faculty. The chair talks regularly with faculty in each subfield about their teaching, their

16 needs, and priorities. For instance, as a result of these discussions the department just purchased new licenses for updated STATA software for Americanist faculty who use it. The chair has also been working with public law faculty to try and establish regular funding for students and faculty who attend Moot Court tourneys.

Plan for Continued Assessment Our department is continually planning and reevaluating itself in a way that is largely independent of the formal review process. The formal reviews offer a chance to take a step back and assess our department as a whole but in between those reviews, we review and adapt our programs on an ongoing basis. For instance, in 2016-17 we undertook a review of our RTP standards; in 2016-18 we engaged in several department-wide discussions about the identity of our department, and subsequently reviewed and modified our curriculum; and we decided to implement new processes for classroom observations and faculty file reviews. Our spring 2018 survey of our majors provides us with rich information to use for planning our curriculum as well as better identifying student needs such as major and career advising. We have also been discussing the status of our graduate program and are very interested in offering a blended BA/MA (5 year) program (alongside our traditional MA) beginning in fall of 2019. We will discuss and take the necessary steps to propose this in the fall of 2018. In addition, though we have more up-front reservations about the idea, we will consider the possibility of developing a low-residency version of our MA program.

3.2 STUDENT LEARNING AND ACHIEVEMENT Student Demand for the Major and Enrollment Patterns The department is the fourth largest in the college in terms of numbers of students. In the fall of 2017 we had (according to LCA college data) 653 undergraduate majors (this includes double- majors), 49 minors, and 25 graduate students, for a total of 727 students in the program (see Table 1).

Demand has risen quite sharply. Our number of undergraduate majors has increased by 53 percent since 2011: in the fall of 2011 we had 426 undergraduate majors (primary and secondary), and -- according to college-supplied data-- in the fall of 2017 we had 653 majors: an increase of 277 students (see Table 1, with a note that this data from the SFSU Institutional Research office does not include double majors or declared majors not taking classes in the fall). There are also important trends towards the diversification of our student population and an increase in the number of female students (for details please see the Overview of this study). While we are thrilled that so many students want to study in our department, increasing enrollments does strain our resources, especially since we have been losing faculty as student demand rises. Thus, one of the greatest future challenges will be meeting student demand for advising and coursework in order to graduate in a timely fashion.

Student Progress, Achievement, and Graduation Rates Our majors typically take an average of 13 units every fall semester from freshman through senior year (see Table 2). This is little higher than the college and university average. Between 2011 and 2016, the average time to degree decreased from 5.35 years to 4.56 years (see Table 3). Interestingly, the coincides with a decrease in the number of average units earned overall and average attempted units per semester. One explanation may that lighter course loads lower failure rates, but other other factors may be involved as well.

Our department four-year graduation rates for first-time freshmen are significantly higher than those of the university as a whole, which has an 18 percent 4-year graduation rate for the cohort entering in 2010 (see Table 6). The four-year graduation rate for the 2010 cohort—both first-time freshmen and transfer students--closely reflects those of the college as a whole: ours is 30 percent and 75 percent respectively, compared to the college average of 29 and 75 percent. Our six-year graduation rates are also typical of those of the college. Our retention rates also closely match those of the college (see table 4)

With the exception of first-year retention rates, in the last five years we have increased our overall retention and graduation rates. The increase is not sharp, but it has been steady. Female students in particular have increased their success rate. Nonetheless only 30 percent of our first- time freshmen graduate within four years, and only about 56 percent in six years (see Table 6) Though these numbers reflect college averages we would very much like to improve them and see more students graduate in a timely manner. Since the 2012/2013 academic year, average attempted units have increased slightly from a yearly average of 126 units to 130 for the 2017/18 academic year (see Table 3, above).

Our department’s rates and trends in enrollment (see Table 4), retention, and graduation have remained relatively stable over the last 5 years and reflect the college’s trends in these areas. It is clear that transfer students are much more successful in completing their degree than first-time freshmen (see Table 7); we attribute this to the challenges freshmen face in completing their GE requirements, in learning the CSU system, in balancing their studies with their need to work, and in learning how to be good students while also (usually) living away from home for the first time. Only around 35 percent of our freshmen-cohort majors graduate within 4 years compared to around 75 percent of CC transfer students (see Tables 6 and 7). Clearly the latter category arrives at SFSU and in our program better prepared to do the requisite work and better able to

19 successfully navigate the system. It also seems to be the case that female students have higher success rates than men, and non URM’s are more successful than URM groups.

As with most programs at SFSU and in our college, there appears to be a graduation/retention gap between under-represented minorities (URMs--students who identify as Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, and American Indian/Native American) and non-under-represented minorities (NURMs). However, in our department the data on the graduation and retention rates of these sets of students varies dramatically from year to year, making it difficult for us to draw any clear conclusions. For instance, for the 2010 cohort of freshmen the six-year graduation rate of URMs compared to NURMs was almost the same: 55 percent compared to 56 percent (source: SFSU Institutional Analytics). For the 2011 cohort the 6-year graduation rate for URMs dropped to 25 percent, versus 68 percent for NURMs.

Student Retention, Progress, and Graduation in the Future This year we took several steps to try and streamline our major, including dropping some prerequisites. We also are working to improve our advising. Other steps we are taking to try and improve retention and graduation rates include adding sections of bottleneck courses such as PLSI 300 and PLSI 275 as well as working with faculty to ensure that students who need to drop courses do so by the deadlines (thereby avoiding Fs on their transcript, which can put them on probation and impede their degree progress). We also continually evaluate how our teaching might create particular challenges for for student retention (reading loads, for instance, or the pacing of assignments and exams), and whether we can create conditions more conducive to their success in our courses and program

High-impact Teaching Practices and Active Learning Please see section 3.3 for a discussion of high-impact teaching practices and active learning in our program.

Program Learning Objectives The program’s learning objectives were updated in February of 2017. In sum, the program aims to provide students with knowledge of the U.S. political system and others around the world as well as knowledge of key texts in political theory. It aims to train students in quantitative and qualitative research, policy analysis, textual exegesis, and written and oral representation of complex ideas. Finally, it aims to provide students with the ability to engage and communicate in diverse communities and put their knowledge of political science to bear on real world problems.

The official list of program learning objectives for undergraduates is as follows: 1 Students demonstrate knowledge of basic facts about the American political system.

27 2 Students demonstrate comparative knowledge of diverse political systems around the world. 3 Students demonstrate knowledge of a variety of theoretical traditions from Europe, the United States, Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia and other parts of the world. 4 In their senior seminar, students demonstrate that they have mastered an integrative approach to the various subfields of political science. 5 Students demonstrate proficiency in expressing complex ideas and arguments through writing as well as proficiency in political research and analysis. 6 Students demonstrate an ability to conduct basic empirical analysis in political topics as well as an ability to do textual exegesis 7 Students demonstrate citizenship skills, including ability to appreciate human diversity, communicate ideas effectively, and engage in community life. 8 Students demonstrate the ability to link theory to practice by applying political science knowledge to actual problem-solving and community service.

The program has a different set of learning objectives for graduate students. These include knowledge of the history and methodological and topical parameters of the discipline of political science (as a whole and as the subfields of comparative, theory and American), student capacity to contribute to the discipline through research, analysis, and writing, and finally knowledge of the professional side of the discipline, including teaching and conference participation.

These goals are communicated to undergraduate and graduate students during orientation, in syllabi and in class. Core courses at both the undergraduate and graduate level provide students with breadth and depth of knowledge as well as an understanding of the parameters of the field. However, we have not assessed how well the students understand and share these goals in any systematic way, via surveys or exit interviews, for instance. Exit interviews might be one way for us to do a better job of assessing whether students leave with these skills and understanding in hand.

Pedagogical Practices and Student Learning Needs and Goals Many students believe that online courses facilitate their paths to graduation by giving them logistical flexibility, and we try to offer an array of online courses, though impressionistic experiences suggest that student success tends to be higher in brick-and-mortar formats. Instructors are continually evaluating their teaching practices to try and reach students in different ways, and many also seek to offer a variety of learning formats to try and accommodate different students’ learning needs. To take a typical example, we might assign a reading on a social movement concept such as framing, and also lecture on the topic supported by visual PowerPoint slides, and then do a class exercise asking students to develop a campaign using particular framing techniques (thus asking them to apply the knowledge they have used to specific scenarios). Faculty also review articles about teaching practices in political science and sometimes attend workshops on the topic at conferences. We highlight innovative teaching practices in class observations. The department regularly reviews its learning goals, and we revised them recently.

28 3.3 THE CURRICULUM

3.3.1 UNDERGRADUATE

Contributions to General Education (GE) Curriculum and Effectiveness Lower-division GE courses in our program are PLSI 100 Understanding Politics, PLSI 106 Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy, PLSI 150 Contemporary Moral/Political Issues and PLSI 200 Intro to American Politics (see Table 9). These are the courses most often taken in our program by non-majors. PLSI 150 is a course that originates with Philosophy, and by agreement with the Philosophy Department, we only teach one or two sections of it per semester. PLSI 100 and 106 are properly ours. They work as GE courses because they are accessible to non-majors and offer a way to introduce students to the discipline of political science and of the social sciences more generally. These courses are very broad and focused on student learning. Though many of our upper division courses satisfy upper-division breadth, most students in these classes are majors or studying in related disciplines such as International Relations, Sociology, and Journalism. We typically teach 3-4 sections of our main lower-division GE courses each semester, along with 12-15 sections of PLSI 200 Intro to American Politics (the sections depending on course size, which varies). These are taught by both TT/T faculty and lecturers. Some are taught online and others in the brick-and-mortar classroom.

30 Scheduling of Required Courses: Core Classes, GWAR and Senior Seminars As table 10 shows, PLSI 200 (Intro to American Politics) serves both majors and non-majors across the university. We schedule 10-15 sections of it every semester, 2-3 sections in the summer term, and once in winter term. Course size varies from 40-300. About half the sections are online. We seek to balance the very high student demand for online courses with the brick- and-mortar format that still works best for many students in terms of learning outcomes. These brick-and-mortar versions of the class are scheduled at many different times to give students flexibility.

Two sections of PLSI 250 Intro to Comparative Politics are scheduled each semester, sometimes in a once-a-week and sometimes in a twice-a-week format. This course is also sometimes taught online. We also teach one online section of PLSI 250 in the summer. Two sections of PLSI 275 Intro to Political Theory are scheduled each semester, sometimes in a once-a-week and sometimes in a twice-a-week format. In the spring of 2019 we are adding a third section to see if this will help facilitate paths to graduation. Three sections of PLSI 300 Scientific Inquiry are taught each semester, along with its lab component. These are always taught twice a week. We also teach one section of it in the summer.

Flowchart of the Requirements of the Major on following page.

31 FLOWCHART OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE MAJOR

32 Service courses The department’s main service course is PLSI 200 Intro to American Politics, which fulfills Area D3 Social Sciences: U.S. and California Government of the lower-division general education requirement (see Table 10). Though half a dozen other departments offer a course that meets the D3 requirement, the vast majority of first-time freshmen take our PLSI 200. This means around 800-900 students take one of our sections of PLSI 200 each semester. In order to meet this demand, we teach 13-20 sections of PLSI 200 each semester (the variation occurs because sometimes we teach mega-sections of the course that can accommodate up to 300 students). Several of our TT Americanists regularly teach sections of 200, but we rely on lecturers to teach the remainder. Because of the number of sections needed, a significant portion of our lecturer budget goes towards PLSI 200, which does affect our ability to hire lecturers qualified to teach in other subfields. Around half our sections of 200 are now offered online, and these versions of the course fill extremely rapidly.

We normally offer three GWAR courses per semester (see Table 11). We currently have more GWAR courses in political theory than any other subfield but are working to better diversify the GWAR offerings. We try to offer them in at least two different subfields each semester. GWAR courses are normally taught twice a week on varying days of the week. We offer three Culminating Experience (senior seminar) courses per semester on varying days of the week. These are sometimes taught once a week and sometimes twice a week.

Required Courses Taught by Other Departments We have no courses required of our majors that are taught by other departments. Our students may choose to take courses taught by other departments to fulfil part of their breadth or elective requirements, but they are not required to choose them, and most use PLSI courses to fulfil these requirements.

GE courses and “Educational Goals for the Baccalaureate at San Francisco State” In general, the baccalaureate aims to encourage and provide students with the skills, knowledge, respect, patience, and curiosity to engage critically with the world beyond and after university. The full list of Educational Goals for the Baccalaureate at San Francisco State can be found at https://air.sfsu.edu/sites/default/files/Educational_Goals_for_the_Baccalaureate_at_SFSU%20.p df

These goals include teaching and fostering the following:

34 1) The ability to engage in qualitative and quantitative analysis, critical reasoning, textual interpretation, and problem solving (both independent and collective) as well proficiency in a second language. 2) Familiarity with areas of knowledge (science, math, social science, humanities and the arts) associated with a liberal arts education and more specialized knowledge in one of these areas. 3) Knowledge of and respect for human diversity. 4) And understanding of and capacity for ethical engagement both locally and globally. 5) The ability to connect and apply distinct forms of knowledge. 6) A curious and open mind, willing to continually consider the world in all its complexity. The GE courses in the political science cover a wide range of themes and subfields. Through different lenses and emphases, they teach students how to engage critically with quantitative or qualitative data and theoretical texts. They provide students with an understanding of general fields of study by focusing on particular problems and themes. Courses ask students to engage with difference understood geographically, culturally, racially, ideologically, and epistemologically. They also ask students to consider difficult social, economic, political and ethical problems and to seek to understand these problems in all their complexity. Finally, these courses encourage students to relate the skills and knowledge accumulated in the classroom to other parts of their lives, to bridge the gap between academic knowledge, on the on the one hand, and, lived experience, trade skills, politics, and more, on the other. Maps to Graduation http://bulletin.sfsu.edu/colleges/liberal-creative-arts/political-science/ba-politicalscience/roadmap.html http://bulletin.sfsu.edu/colleges/liberal-creative-arts/political-science/ba-political-science/adt- roadmap.html Course Enrollment by Course, Bottlenecks, and High Failure Classes Our spring 2018 survey of our majors showed that students identify PLSI 300, Scientific Inquiry as the primary bottleneck course in the major (see Table 12). Our ability to increase the number of seats and sections of PLSI 300 is limited by: 1) the size of the lab and the work stations (they can accommodate a maximum of 25 students) and 2) the number of faculty qualified to teach a quantitative methods course. However, beginning in the Fall of 2018 our ability to offer PLSI 300 will be significantly improved because of the hiring of new faculty member Rebecca Eissler. This means we finally have enough faculty to offer PLSI 300 three or four times a semester plus in the summer without relying on adjunct faculty.

Our recent survey also suggested that for some students PLSI 275 Intro to Political Theory (another core class) may constitute something of a bottleneck, and in the AY 2018-19 we are going to offer three sections of it in the spring to see if this helps alleviate the problem. In the past, both PLSI 275 and PLSI 478 Judicial Process were required for all upper-division courses in public law. Starting in 2018 we have changed this requirement, dropping PLSI 275 as a pre- req for all public law courses and dropping 478 as a pre-req for about half the other public law

35 classes. This should allow more students to take courses in the public law subfield and give students more flexibility in the timing of when they take PLSI 275.

As a note, certain classes regularly attract far more students wishing to add than there are spaces for. Some Comparative Politics courses such as PLSI 424 Social Movements, for instance, regularly have 20+ students seeking to add. All online classes tend to fill within 48 hours. However, students do have other time/format options for many of these classes.

TABLE 12: BOTTLENECK COURSES AND STRATEGY

Courses Program’s strategy to reduce bottleneck courses

PLSI 300 Adding additional sections at least one semester per year facilitated by hiring of new faculty (Rebecca Eissler)

PLSI 275 We have removed this course as a pre-requisite for all public law classes.

The two courses with the most recent highest failure rates (percentage of D’s, F’s, and W’s) are introduction to political theory (PLSI 275) and research methods (PLSI 300), with rates of 41% and 40% respectively (see Table 13). Other courses with high failure rates of 30% or higher include: Understanding Politics (PLSI 100), Principles of Government and Politics (PLSI 105), South Asian Politics (PLSI 412) and American Politics (PLSI 200), the latter of which is predominantly taken by non-majors. Some of these courses appear again with failure rates of 10% or higher, suggesting that these high rates are partially due to the difficulty of the material as well as their status as a required course.

Culminating Experience Students in the major take a 600-series senior seminar (capped at 20) or study abroad for their culminating experience course. The vast majority use the former option (the senior research seminar). We offer senior seminars in each subfield of our major and a variety of TT/T faculty teach them. We offer three senior seminars per semester. Each senior seminar asks students to do a significant research project in political science. Most often, this is a traditional research paper; however, some senior seminars invite students to do another kind of creative project in the discipline such as a documentary film or a project in creative nonfiction writing on a political topic.

Instruction in Technology Appropriate to the Discipline Students receive instruction in technology commonly applied in the discipline in some upper division courses and in a required course on research design and data analysis, called PLSI 300 Scientific Inquiry in Political Science. In that required course they attend a practical lab session where they learn to use computer programs designed to do statistical analyses (either Stata or SPSS). In additional courses they learn more advanced methods, either in programming and using software to design and conduct surveys (PLSI 462 Applied Public Opinion Research) or in more advanced analytic techniques (PLSI 605 Senior Seminar: Students' Choice Applied Research Methods).

Evaluation occurs within each course in two ways. First, through applied projects -- e.g., designing and fielding an original social science survey and then analyzing the primary data, designing research projects and then presenting them at student conferences and showcases. Second, through various exercises, exams, papers, and presentations.

General Education Courses: Curricular Planning and Non-Majors The department views GE courses as a gateway to the discipline and the department, as well as serving broader societal needs for educating students in critical thinking, political science and politics, and social science approaches. We typically offer several lower-division GE courses per semester along with the many sections of PLSI 200 Intro to American Politics, which is a state- mandated required course for all university students. In order to reach as broad a student pool as possible we also seek to offer lower-division courses both online and in traditional brick-and-

38 mortar formats. We have several TT/T faculty who regularly teach lower-division GE courses as part of their course load, as well as one or two lecturers hired by our department. With these and other GE courses the Department of Political Science seeks to gain visibility with non-majors of our courses that can advance their GE requirements, lower division Area D, Upper Division Social Science, and SF State Studies requirements. Given the broad appeal of political science courses and importance of the subject to all citizens of the United States and beyond, our GE courses provide access to non-majors and visiting international students to the nature of the global political world and American government as well as learning how to conduct political science research using empirical methods and philosophical forms of argumentation. We also seek to have students complement their major studies with the unique political perspective that political science can bring students of contemporary culture. It is our estimation that our GE involvement succeeds greatly, not only for the non-major student but also for our majors since the diversity of student interests in GE courses adds significantly to class discussion. Therefore, for increased visibility of the Department’s offerings and enhanced class discussion and broadening the recipients of the knowledge of the Political Science faculty, GE involvement seems to us a very good means to see the Department overarching objectives. Reflections on Curriculum’s Relationship to Directions in the Discipline As discussed in Section II, our department remains abreast of a variety of important methodological and topical trends in the discipline. This is reflected in our offerings and faculty research in quantitative methods, Latino Politics and Immigration, Contentious Politics and Comparative Political Theory.

One important source on the status of the discipline is the 2011 American Political Science Association (APSA) Task Force Report Political Science in the 21st Century, which details the benefits of political science, and political science instruction. Several of the report’s recommendations are in place within our department and reflect well on our department’s activities.

First, the report details ways to address the growing need for multicultural considerations in course instruction and pedagogy. Recommendations include, inter alia, (1) “Encourage open discussion and communication about sensitive issues,” (2) “emphasize active learning that engages students to apply concepts learned in class to real world situations,” and (3) “develop an increasing awareness among all students of the world’s complexity and interdependence.” Our curriculum covers not only the general sub-field gateway topics, but also courses that delve into the intersection of salient political issues focusing on marginalized groups, activism, and discordant power structures. It thus comports with the expectations of a department in the 21st Century. Second, the Report also recommends that “[i]nnovative teaching approaches must be expressly designed as integral parts of a department’s curriculum and formally incorporated within it.” There are a number of examples of our department satisfying this recommendation, such as Kathy Emery’s work with the Experimental College and Nicole Watts’s classes, which involve simulations and role-playing that help students gain an appreciation for different perspectives on contentious issues as well as the challenges involved in peace negotiations, social movements, and electoral campaigns in various countries. Nick Conway’s new moot court class also trains students to practice what they are learning, rather than simply receive lecture. This pre-law

39 training has already given our students a leg up for law school, and, has provided a foundation for development of skills that assist our graduates when they begin their career as a professional attorney. Internships--in local government, with non-governmental organizations, and the Judicial Internship Program--all allow students to receive the practical and “real-world” insight into application of the principles taught to them in formal classes. Third, our department has made a significant movement toward integrating quantitative methods. We have a strong core group within our faculty who employ quantitative methodology in their own research, and who also teach it to our undergrads. This focus is consistent with disciplinary trends. This complement of methodological approaches serves our students well as they enter advanced academic studies (e.g., graduate school), or, the workforce. Examples include García- Castañon’s course PLSI 462 offers students the chance to design and field an original survey and then analyze primary data. Scheduling and Curricular Planning: Student Need, Advancing Student Degree Progress and Faculty Involvement The program is carefully planned according to student need; indeed, this is the primary consideration in scheduling each semester. Most of our classes fill, or come close to filling, and there is evidence to suggest greater demand for some classes than resources permit us to offer. We carefully monitor rates of course registration and requests to add, and plan accordingly. For PLSI 200, Intro to American Politics, our university “service” course we often put sections on Tentative status and open them as other sections fill. Now that we have sufficient faculty to permit it, we are also adding sections of bottleneck courses, i.e. PLSI 300 Scientific Inquiry. It is clear that we need more upper-division courses breadth courses in comparative politics and public administration, but at this point limited fiscal and faculty resources mean we cannot expand these offerings much.

We also work hard to schedule a balance of online and brick-and-mortar classes (especially for PLSI 200), as well as to balance course offerings between MW and Tues/Thurs, along with other times. Student survey results show that the twice-a-week courses held MW and T/Th are our most needed and popular. Online classes at all levels also typically fill extremely quickly, sometimes within 24 hours. Our balance of online/brick and mortar courses is a result of several factors: instructor interest (some faculty want to teach online, some do not), what we as a department believe to be optimal pedagogical practices (we believe some classes ought to be taught in person, and some such as PLSI 300 can only be taught in person because of the lab component), and student demand, which varies considerably, with some students finding online courses very useful but others preferring to take all their courses in a traditional classroom. There was some early discussion within the department concerning the establishment of online teaching standards and best practices, but concerns about classroom autonomy meant these were not pursued. However, chairs have closely monitored student evaluations for online courses, as they do for brick-and-mortar ones. More recently, and especially as the university has developed more extensive resources for online course development, faculty who teach online have been encouraged to work closely with Academic Technology and the Center for Equity and Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CEETL) to try and develop as robust and interactive an online experience as possible.

40 The chair works closely with individual and subfield faculty in choosing and scheduling classes, working to ensure a diversity of offerings as well as faculty preferences. It is clear that for some types of courses, such as GWAR courses, the majority that count towards the political theory breadth, and we are working to get more non-theory courses certified as GWAR classes to better serve our students here.

Curricular planning is done with the involvement of the entire department through faculty meetings, email correspondence, and the department’s curriculum committee. New courses are created in consultation with faculty in the relevant subfield or if they have intersecting specializations. Feedback-- whether positive or negative-- is taken seriously. More substantial changes, i.e. adding or removing requirements for courses or changing the requirements for the major, are done with discussion and voting by the entire department. In 2017 the department reconvened a curriculum committee that had representation from both junior and senior faculty, as well as from all our breadth subfields. The committee reviewed the curriculum and made a number of proposals that were subsequently discussed and voted on by the entire department. In addition, the chair is continually in touch with faculty about courses. Reviews of student evaluations and syllabi, conversations with students and faculty, student comments, and registration patterns all serve to promote observation and discussion. The new online course bulletin system, which allows for new course submissions and course modifications online, provides windows of opportunity every semester for the chair to invite requests and suggestions from faculty regarding courses. GWAR Courses and Writing In 2009, the academic senate approved seven graduate writing assessment requirement (GWAR) course criteria. These were: 1) a class size of no more than 20 to 25 students; 2) a minimum of 15 pages of writing; 3) a minimum of 60% of the grade constituted by written work; 4) one substantive graded revision of a paper or other written assignment; 5) a variety of required writing assignments; 6) in class attention to writing; and 7) a minimum of 3 units per course.

A survey of the GWAR courses offered in the political science department suggests that all professors follow these guidelines but are frustrated with the general lack of guidance in dealing with teaching students for whom English is a second language or whose writing skills are severely deficient. Overall, professors teaching GWAR courses have found it difficult to improve student writing in one semester while also teaching substantive material. All courses require students to produce at least 15 pages of writing a semester. These 15 pages include a graded first draft on which the professor comments and which the students revise and resubmit in light of these comments. There is some variation here with, for instance, courses in comparative politics requiring an additional research proposal prior to submitting the first full draft of the paper and courses in theory requiring a paper prospectus. One professor has her students write a reflection on the comments they receive back on their paper draft in order to give them a chance to digest the feedback and consider how they might revise their paper. GWAR courses also tend to include in-class lessons on how to write research proposals and literature reviews; how to write an introductory paragraph; how to use the text to support claims made in the paper, how to compose compelling theses; and how to revise and edit work. Professors might also deal with more technical questions such as problems with the passive voice and other grammatical issues.

41 One professor has her students write a reflection on the reading for that day at the beginning of each class. Sometimes she collects these reflections, but the main motivation for the reflections is to encourage students to write on a regular basis and to treat writing itself as a mode of thinking. Students submit all the reflections at the end of the semester but are encouraged to use them along the way to help prepare to write their larger papers. Several professors rely on in class paper workshops and peer reviewing. Students are asked to evaluate their peers’ papers based on criteria such as: Does the paper have a thesis and if so, what is it? Is the thesis convincing? Why or why not? Does the student support their thesis with evidence from the text? In light of the specific writing challenges posed by many of our students, several professors teaching GWAR emphasized the importance of including in-class writing assignments and have found that they have had to scale back topical instruction to focus on writing skills specifically. In-class paper draft workshopping can be particularly effective, but also time consuming. In other words, it has been challenging to successfully combine the teaching of writing with any rigorous treatment of a political science topic. Culminating Experience: Quality and Assessment The senior seminar serves as the main form of culminating experience for the vast majority of our students, though a small percentage do a semester or year of study abroad, which we encourage. The seminar seeks to encourage students to build on their training in a particular subfield or research methodology to create an original research project. The seminar typically involves analysis of assigned texts and an in-depth research paper, though some seminars encourage other types of project such as a video documentary or a project of creative nonfiction. The seminar provides opportunities to contemplate how things they learned in one course (or another collegiate context) are connected (or not). The senior seminar can help students make sense of what they have learned in political science courses over the years and to better understand the value of the major. In so doing, the seminar can be an opportunity to examine students’ ability to synthesize material across the discipline. The seminar gives also students an opportunity to reflect on their college experience and see how political science fits into a larger liberal arts discipline. The senior seminar helps faculty assess students understanding of the discipline (and sub-discipline), and gives faculty data to evaluate students’ levels of achievement on program learning outcomes and their preparedness for success after graduation.

Transfer Students and Upper Division Coursework Most of our transfer students have completed PLSI 200, PLSI 275, and PLSI 250. They may also have fulfilled other lower-division courses that can count towards electives and, occasionally, upper-division courses at a community college or other university. The department has 353 Articulation Agreements for PLSI 200, 275, and 250 with both California Community Colleges and CSUs and is distributed fairly evenly between the two systems (see Table 14). Since the fall of 2014, there has been an increase in the number of students entering the major with Associate transfer degrees, up from five to 27. We regularly review and approve transfer credit for other courses on a case-by-case basis. With one or two exceptions, there are no prerequisites for upper division coursework except a lower-division English course that all transfer students have already taken. Though we recommend our students complete our lower division core classes before taking upper division classes, they are not required to have done so, and many transfer students have in any case already done them (See Table 15). The one exception is PLSI 300

42 Scientific Inquiry, and that is only a pre-req for 2-3 upper division courses requiring its training in quantitative research methods. Some upper-division public law courses do require PLI 478 Judicial Process, but not all do so, which gives transfer students some flexibility here as well. In sum, perhaps around 90 percent of our upper-division courses do not require any PLSI pre-reqs, meaning transfer students are not unduly burdened. As with first-time freshmen, transfer students receive advising information online or through department brochures, as well as through meetings with faculty advisors who review their academic records with them and help them understand what they still need to take to complete the degree.

High Impact Practices High-impact educational experiences occur in a number of our courses, and by many accounts, they are working well for students. Students in the judicial internships (PLSI 610/611) are assigned to San Francisco Superior Court judges in the civil, criminal, and juvenile divisions for ten hours per week for an entire semester. There, they watch the actual workings of these courts, observing either proceedings in open court or negotiated settlements and plea bargains in judges' chambers. Students doing internships in government offices similarly gain hands-on experience of actual governing practices and policy implementation. This gives them an insight and experience with the actual workings of the court available to few other undergraduates, and is of benefit both for their overall citizenship skills and understanding of the political system as well as if they decide to go into the legal profession. Students in the moot court program are passionate about the impact it (and working with Prof. Nick Conway) has had on their lives. Student-teachers in the Experimental College develop a passion for learning and confidence in their ability to effect change in both their own lives and in society. The students in their classes also develop their own sense of agency as they feel comfortable asking questions and see their student-teachers as role models of self-directed study. Students who participate in classroom simulations and role-playing exercises report finding it valuable for helping them understand many facets of political preferences and decision making.

45 Students may conduct and present their original research by taking PLSI 605 Students' Choice Empirical Research Project for their Senior Seminar requirement in the fall and then following that up by preparing and presenting their work at conferences in the spring semester (as Independent Study units). This sequence of activities gives students experience in applying research skills in a focused project, writing an article-length research paper, creating presentations of that work, and then attending and presenting at a state-wide conference. They gain an excellent writing sample, valuable experience, networking connections, and a consistently high level of confidence in their abilities as scholars.

Improving the Student Experience In light of the above discussion, there are a variety of ways we might improve the student experience. These include better and more regular advising, providing more sections of bottleneck courses, and holding more career/law school/grad school advising events. Having the resources to hire more TT faculty and lecturers to meet student demand and to offer more of a variety of classes in different subfield would also benefit them.

Plan for Dealing with Program’s Most Pressing Curricular Needs Several needs and challenges stand out. First, the department is most in need of more tenure track lines and more resources for TAs and graduate student stipends, faculty travel and research and other forms of academic support. Given the ever increasing ratio of TT-track faculty to students, we believe that a larger core faculty would be able to deliver on the promise of political science (a promise that many students clearly are responding to since they have been flocking to our major in recent years). In particular, we clearly need to hire new comparativists to renew our breadth offerings in comparative politics. Especially because of our relatively limited scope within the discipline (because we don’t teach IR and public administration courses) we feel it is very important to maintain sufficient faculty to properly teach this subfield. We also struggle to find enough qualified faculty to teach the required classes in our major: the lower-division core, PLSI 300 Scientific Inquiry, the GWAR courses, culminating experience courses, and the graduate courses that must be taught every semester. Though we are fortunate to have many good lecturers teaching in our department, we are concerned about the degree to which we now rely on adjunct faculty to teach so many of our courses. Lecturer hiring is highly vulnerable to budget cuts, which makes it a risky way to cover required curriculum. In addition, TT faculty are stretched thin because lecturers generally do not do committee work or formal student advising.

Second, we are very concerned about the generally low quality of student writing and many students’ lack of reading and analytical skills. We try to teach these skills in our GWAR classes, but we are not trained to teach students in composition, and we don’t have the faculty resources to develop composition classes. We are particularly concerned with new administration- mandated changes that seem to us to be farming out lower-division, GE writing courses from the English Department, which was best qualified to teach them, to departments such as ourselves.

We have already revised our curriculum to respond to certain practical realities: we have eliminated some pre-reqs from certain course to improve student progress through the program, we have eliminated the public administration breadth from our major because we didn’t have the faculty to properly teach it, we have worked collaboratively with the IR Department and other departments to help enrich our relatively thin comparative offerings, and we are reviewing our

46 GWAR courses to see if we might work use them to more effectively help students learn to write. TT and adjunct faculty have also tried to help us cover our coursework bases by creating new or online versions of courses, stepping in to teach required classes at all levels, and generally remaining flexible. However, in an era of increasing student enrollment, there is a limit to what we can do without additional human- and budgetary resources.

3.3.2 GRADUATE PROGRAM

The Concluding Action Memorandum for the 6th Cycle program review (please see appendix) suggested that we integrate International Relations coursework into the MA curriculum, work with the Office of Academic Planning and Educational Effectiveness to improve the assessment of student learning at the graduate level, conduct an examination of the causes and solutions to student attrition, and conduct a close review of its Level I and II Writing Requirements in an effort to ameliorate reported inadequate writing skills of students in the comprehensive examinations.

In order to implement these recommendations and to address our own concerns about the MA program, we now allow our graduate students to take comprehensive exams in international relations, as well as encourage them to take IR seminars in the IR department. Many do so, and we regularly approve substitutions of an IR graduate seminar for a PLSI graduate elective if the student requests it.

We have also added PLSI 700 as a required, first-semester course to help train students in political science analysis and writing skills. We have tried to conduct an annual review of MA student progress to try and better identify students who are having difficulties in the program. We also renumbered our graduate courses to make them more logical.

Applications to the graduate programs at SFSU have been declining since 2009. Our department has similarly seen a sharp drop in applications and enrollments in the last decade, though the level and rate has held fairly steady in the last five years. In the fall of 2009, a time of historically high applications and enrollments, we had 62 MA students enrolled in the program, compared to 25 enrolled in the fall of 2017. Typically, we have admitted around 45-55 percent of our applicants, though in 2017 that went up to close to 80 percent. We accept both fall and spring applications, though typically we receive and admit most of our new students in the fall. Between fall of 2014 and fall of 2017 we received 24-40 applications each year, and admitted an incoming class of 11-16 new students in the fall along with several new students in the spring. Our graduation figures reflect these variations: in 2012-13 we graduated 18 students with an MA in political science, compared to 6 in 2017-18.

We closely watch graduate student course enrollment and also maintain regular communication with our students about the nature and timing of course offerings.

Faculty supervise MA theses and exams as part of their work; they do not receive additional WTUs for doing so. Graduate students can choose between taking qualifying exams in two subfields in political science or writing a thesis. They prepare for exams and theses in

47 consultation with faculty members who have agreed to work them. While the specific guidelines of both the exams and the theses varies according to subfield and the discretion of the supervising faculty members, the department does provide graduate students with general guidelines that can be found on the political science website at: https://politicalscience.sfsu.edu/graduate-program-guidelines-comprehensive-exams https://politicalscience.sfsu.edu/political-theory-comprehensive-exam-guidelines https://politicalscience.sfsu.edu/masters-degree-guidelines-and-procedures

Exams: Students are encouraged to take qualifying exams with professors with whom they have taken graduate seminars in two of the main subfields. In general, students and faculty decide together what material the student will be responsible for. The format of the exam is usually a take-home exam consisting of 2-4 questions, cumulatively amounting to 30-40 pages of written work per subfield exam. Students normally two weeks to complete the exam.

Theses: Students select a thesis committee of two faculty, selected on the basis of their familiarity with the focus of the thesis, the student’s previous work and student discretion. Typically, one committee member serves as the primary advisor who meets with the student throughout the process of producing a thesis (including formulating and revising a project, planning its components, reviewing chapters and the final product). A second reader plays a less involved role, often at the beginning and end of the project.

The graduate coordinator typically conducts a review of each graduate student’s file on an annual basis. However, we do not have the resources to methodically track and assess student performance after they finish the MA. We do keep informal tab of post-MA educational development of those students on an individual faculty-student basis.

Standards for Graduate Programs The mission of Graduate Studies is important to implement the academic policies and curricula that promote excellence across the disciplines. Graduate students, from diverse experiences, will seek advanced study in programs leading to teaching occupations; professional and clinical careers; doctoral study; as well as innovative professions that contribute to our local communities, the state and the nation.

Short-or long-term Trends Affecting Graduate Admission and Enrollment A number of trends affect graduate admission and enrollment, and the college along with the university has conducted many studies on the topic. In general, MA applications are down because of relatively full employment combined with the extremely high cost of living in the San Francisco Bay Area. In addition, international applications down because of the challenges of getting U.S. visas and the unfriendly political climate. More specifically, students decline our offers of admission because they received better financial offers, especially tuition waivers, elsewhere, along with other actors such as personal reasons, job conflicts, etc.

Our recent low number of applications and enrollments puts our program at the borderline of sustainability because most of our MA courses are not shared with undergrad course numbers and because the requirements of the program mean we need to offer at least 3 dedicated graduate courses per semester. However, two factors are important to keep in mind. First, the program

48 historically has seen quite dramatic fluctuations in the number of applications and enrolled students due to factors such as the job market and the cost of housing. Second, our collaboration with the IR Dept in terms of offering students credit for taking each other’s courses benefits both programs as well as students. Third, we are in the process of considering additional graduate program models such as the 4+1 and minimal distance options. We have also recently implemented new recruiting procedures. We are therefore hopeful that we can increase our applications and enrolled students while maintaining the quality of the program.

Expectations for Graduate Students We tell graduate students at orientation that they have moved from the “consumption” end of political science to the “production end.” As graduate students, they are learning to produce knowledge as political scientists and to join the scholarly community as colleagues, even though they are still students. More specifically the program distinguishes graduate from undergraduate studies in the following ways: Graduate students must be prepared to read and digest much larger quantities of reading. They must be prepared to not just summarize or reproduce knowledge, but also produce it both orally and in writing. Professors structure their seminars with the assumption that students will come to class having read the material, understand the main arguments of the texts assigned, and are prepared to discuss those arguments in class. While complete understanding is not necessarily expected, students should have the capacity to articulate what they do and do not understand about the readings. Seminar assignments such as class memos, research proposals, research papers, textual exegesis and theoretical analyses, presume that students are capable not just of understanding basic arguments, but of applying and testing theories with case studies, comparing theoretical arguments and making creative and original contributions.

The department makes these expectations clear in a variety of ways. First, we only admit those students whose undergraduate record suggests that they are prepared for graduate work. In general, students must have a 3.5 undergraduate GPA, a record of course work in political science or a related field, evidence of research and analytic skills and strong letters of reference.

Second, at the beginning of their first semester in the Department, we hold a mandatory graduate orientation during which time we provide students with a general roadmap toward the completion of their degree and discuss between undergraduate and graduate study as outlined above. During the meeting, we place special emphasis on the fact that students are moving from being consumers of knowledge to producers

Third, all incoming graduate students are required to take PLSI 700, the main goal of which is to help students to succeed in the program, by preparing them for graduate level work. Students hear first-hand from some of our faculty members about their research, which provides them with a model of the type of advanced work in which they will be trained and that will be expected of them. The seminar supplies students with the basic tools necessary to critically consider and evaluate published political science. More importantly, it guides students through the process of doing graduate level work. Student learn about the range of the topics political scientists study, the various epistemological orientations that guide that work, and some prominent methods employed in the discipline. Students are then asked to draft their own empirical research designs in order to put into practice some of the methodologies we have

49 studied. In doing so, the course sets the standard for what will be expected from students throughout the rest of the program.

Course Scheduling and Student Needs All our graduate courses meet once a week begin at 4 pm or later in order to accommodate both the needs of those who work and those who may not be able to take a class beginning as late as 7 pm. We make an effort to ensure that core courses and electives are offered on different nights of the week so that graduate students can make the most of the graduate seminar offerings. Graduate students also have the option of taking an upper level undergraduate course, which further expands their chances to accommodate their schedules.

Guidelines and Standards of Culminating Experiences The political science website includes written guidelines for writing a graduate thesis and for taking the culminating exams (there are two sets of guidelines, one for theory and one for the other three subfields). Students writing theses usually work with committees made up of a primary and secondary reader. They begin by developing a research question or philosophical/theoretical puzzle. This is often one of the most challenging stage of the process and requires students to review the secondary literature and situate their project within it. Depending on the subfield, students then move to qualitative or quantitative data collection and/or more in depth and focused reading.

The department has no formal mechanism for distributing the workload of supervision of graduate theses and comprehensive exams. In general, faculty who teach grad seminars tend to be the ones graduate students ask to supervise and sit on committees. This is one reason we try to make sure a broad pool of faculty are involved in teaching the graduate curriculum. We also try to introduce grad students to faculty we feel they might benefit from working with, even if that faculty member isn’t teaching in the grad program. The chair and the graduate coordinator try to monitor which faculty are supervising culminating experiences in order to ensure no one faculty member becomes unduly burdened, but sometimes this can be difficult.

Balancing Graduate and Undergraduate Needs in the Curriculum We believe we traditionally have maintained a healthy balance between our graduate and undergraduate curriculum. Maintaining a quality graduate program also benefits the undergraduate program because it means we have more qualified TAs, especially for PLSI 200 Intro to American Politics. Because our graduate cohort in the last few years has been small, we cover the required sequence of courses in the graduate curriculum but devote the bulk of our resources to the undergraduate program. We try to enrich graduate offerings by encouraging them to take graduate seminars in the IR Department. We also allow graduate students to take one or two upper-division undergraduate courses, which both expands their range of coursework and benefits the undergraduates in those classes. In our recent graduate scheduling we do try to schedule a variety of faculty to teach the courses so our graduate students have the opportunity to work with many different professors.

50 Record of Academic and Professional Achievement for Graduate Students At this point, the graduate program does not keep records of its graduate alumni in any systematic manner. That said, we do know that our students have gone on to make use of their MAs, either in the academic field or other professional fields.

A number of our students have gone on to do PhDs in political science or related fields, and a relatively high percentage teach at the community college level. In the past five years, we have had four political theory students go on to do doctoral studies (at UC Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz and two to the University of Hawaii). Two of our comparative politics students went on to PhD programs, though neither completed them. Some of our other MA students use their successful completion of our program to gain admission to other highly competitive programs, as in the case of one student who went on to complete a Masters in Public Health at George Washington University.

Many of our students have gone on to work at community colleges or to teach for us. Six of our current lecturers (Blake, Dominic, Kevin, Tad, Michael and Al) did their MA with us and we just hired two recent MAs, Alexis Hanson and Anthony Avila. Several of these same current lecturers (Blake, Dominic, Alexis) also teach at other schools, as do some other grads who do not teach for us. In short, a significant portion of our best graduates go on to teach in the college system.

Others have gone on to careers in the public and private sector, and at think tanks and other research institutes. One recent graduate took a research position at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, for instance. Also see our discussion in the alumni survey section.

Plan for Addressing Graduate Program Application and Enrollment Declines The program has experienced an overall decline in applications to the graduate program in keeping with a larger university and system wide decline due to the cost of living in the Bay area and limited funding opportunities for graduate students, primarily in the form of some paid Teaching Assistantships and one tuition fellowship. In light of these challenges, we have discussed and in some cases, begun implementing, a variety of measure to attract, recruit and maintain a sustainable cohort. Currently, we send out a bi-annual letter to all chairs of political science departments in the UC and CSU system detailing the offerings of our program and encouraging their most promising students to apply. In the future, we plan to supplement this endeavor by recruiting some of lecturers who teach at other CSU’s to reach out to students at these schools who are considering pursuing an MA.

While more active recruitment is important, more dramatic measures will need to be taken to address this issue. We are currently exploring the possibility of offering a 4:1 program, which would enable undergraduate majors to complete an MA in one year after completing their BA in political science with us. This plan has a variety of advantages. It attracts and incentivizes our strong undergraduates to continue to their graduate studies in a program which with they are familiar and in which they have already thrived. It enables those students already living in the area to avoid the risks and startup costs of moving to the Bay Area. The reduction of the MA to one year also makes the cost of the MA more affordable. Finally, it enables students unsure about whether to pursue a PhD to test the graduate waters without an overly burdensome investment of time and money.

While the 4:1 plan enjoys support in the department, and could be fairly easily implemented, a somewhat more controversial plan involves making it possible for MA students to complete at least some of their coursework online. This would benefit students who cannot afford to leave SFSU or are otherwise settled in areas that are not easily commutable on a regular basis. Given that many of our TT faculty already have designed and taught online courses, this is also a very feasible plan.

Ensuring that the graduate curriculum responds to changes in the discipline and maintaining appropriate levels of rigor has been particularly challenging in light of the above. However, the faculty is mostly in agreement that we cannot compromise on our standards for entry and achievement in the program. Improving the quantity and quality of our applicants is thus a top priority. We have also devoted significant attention to PLSI 700 as a platform for assessing the preparedness and abilities of our incoming students. It serves to introduce them to the discipline as a whole, the requirements and demands of the program, to each other, and it allows us to intervene early with those students who appear to be struggling. We plan to be even more proactive in this regard by having the graduate coordinator review all first year student files and meet with those who are struggling with course content, reading, writing or other issues. The goal is to catch early either students who are simply not prepared to complete the program and provide guidance to those who just may need extra help to succeed. Help might include summer course work, specific readings and exercises and suggestions for full semester courses like ENG 670, which is specifically designed to prepare students for academic writing at the graduate level.

We believe we traditionally have maintained a healthy balance between our graduate and undergraduate curriculum. Maintaining a quality graduate program also benefits the undergraduate program because it means we have more qualified TAs, especially for PLSI 200 Intro to American Politics. Because our graduate cohort in the last few years has been small, we cover the required sequence of courses in the graduate curriculum but devote the bulk of our resources to the undergraduate program. We try to enrich graduate offerings by encouraging them to take graduate seminars in the IR Department. We also allow graduate students to take one or two upper-division undergraduate courses, which both expands their range of coursework and benefits the undergraduates in those classes. In our recent graduate scheduling we do try to schedule a variety of faculty to teach the courses so our graduate students have the opportunity to work with many different faculty.

3.4. FACULTY Included in the appendix are all TT and lecture CVs, upon which much of the below discussion relies.

Faculty Demographics (Rank, Gender, and Ethnicity) and Concentrations As of spring 2018 we had 16.3 full-time TT/T faculty members and 12-13 part-or full-time lecturers. Two faculty members retired as of June 2018. We have a new assistant professor joining the department in the fall of 2018, so as of that date we will have 15 faculty members. The .3 is for a faculty member who serves one-third in our department and two-thirds in the IR Department.

For TT/T rank, eight are full professors, four are associate professors and two are assistant professors (three as of fall 2018). The subfields are fairly well distributed among the ranks. Two of the assistant professors are Americanists and one is in Public Law. One associate professor is a theorist and three are Americanists. Two full professors are theorists, two are comparativists, three are Americanists and one is in Public Law.

For gender, there are four women in our department: two at the full professor level, another at the associate level and another at the assistant level. One will be starting to FERP in fall of 2018. Among our lecturers there are only 2 women (one fulltime, and one who normally teaches one class per semester), though a third woman will be teaching a course starting in the fall of 2018. However, we do have one less obvious index of diversity here: at least two of our TT/T faculty publicly identify as LGBTQ, and at least two of our lecturers do so. One of our junior faculty members is Latina. One of our senior faculty members is South Asian (but she will be retiring soon). Another faculty member is Chinese. One of our full professors was African-American, but he retired as of spring 2018. All our other TT/T or lecturers are white.

Among TT/T faculty, as of fall 2018 we will have six specialists in American politics (Neely, McDaniel, García-Castañon, Belkin, Hayduk, Eissler), three specialists in political theory (Kassiola, Martel, Gordy), two specialists in public law (Carcieri, who also works on political theory; and Conway), and four specialists in comparative politics (Shastri, Guo, Watts, and Tsygankov).

Areas of expertise for American politics include Latino politics, Latino politics, immigration, political communication, quantitative methodology, political participation, voting rights and behavior, social movements, urban politics, political psychology, military masculinity and sexuality in the armed forces. The professors of Public law focus on Constitutional law, American political thought and American judicial politics. The geographic areas of expertise of our comparativists include the regions of East Asia, South Asia, Russia, North Africa and the Middle East and they deal with topics including democratic transitions, political economy, and social movements. The theorists teach and research in the areas of normative and environmental theory, continental philosophy, critical theory, Marxism, and Latin American and Caribbean political thought.

Evaluating Teaching Effectiveness This year, we completed a major overhaul of our standards for retention, tenure and promotion; post-tenure review; lecturer evaluation; and classroom observation. We also put in place a new system to regularize and increase the number of classroom observations that we perform each year. This will mean all faculty – TT, post-tenure, and lecturers—now receive regular classroom observations. Finally, we designed a series of rubrics and then integrated those rubrics into a mentoring initiative that will maximize instructional feedback at all levels of the Department. The chair also reviews SETE results for lecturers once a year as part of their contract renewal.

This year, we conducted our scheduled RTP reviews as always, and completed evaluations of two TT faculty members. We completed our lecturer evaluations. Beginning in 2018-2019 we will begin to evaluate all tenured faculty members as part of the post-tenure review process.

Program Support for New and Untenured Faculty and RTP Standards Each new faculty member participates in a one-week-long university orientation. New faculty members also meet with the department chair to discuss expectations, responsibilities, and any concerns they might have. New faculty members are provided with RTP standards, and these are reviewed between the chair and new faculty member. They are informed as to the makeup of the RTP committee. Our department agreed last year that first-year faculty would not be assigned formal advising duties to give them more time to devote to course development and professional research, as well as to familiarize themselves with the department curriculum. In addition, we seek to minimize junior faculty involvement in any committees that might require significant time commitments, i.e. search committees. As part of the WPAF process the RTP committee and the chair review new and TT faculty’s WPAF and student evaluations; if there are issues that suggest room for improvement or mentoring might be needed then we try to facilitate those conversations.

We don’t have many resources for supporting post-tenure faculty. However, post-tenure faculty can apply for paid or unpaid course reductions and for sabbaticals. Our faculty are stretched thin

55 with teaching, research and service responsibilities so in the event that post-tenure faculty receive any kind of teaching relief or research opportunity, the department is fully supportive. As with all our faculty, we are able to be extremely flexible with teaching assignments to try and support post-tenure faculty’s ability to continue to do research. We also try to ensure that department service is relatively equally divided among our post-tenure faculty, although this can be difficult due to logistical challenges (some faculty commute a significant way to campus) and other factors.

Faculty Numbers and Curriculum and Program Quality We struggle to maintain the faculty needed to teach the curriculum and maintain quality. This is especially true since requirements for the major expanded (due to university mandates) to include GWAR courses, which shifted some of the responsibility for English-language instruction into our department, and culminating experience courses. In practice what this has meant is an increasing reliance on lecturers, especially to teach sections of our main service course, PLSI 200 Intro to American Politics. With the loss of retirement age faculty teaching American politics, one short-term solution has been to find lecturers qualified to teach upper- division American politics courses. We also rely on cross-listed courses taught by faculty in the IR department to help us offer enough sections of upper-division breadth courses in comparative politics. Some of our lower-division GE courses are also cross-listed and taught by faculty in other departments.

Faculty Diversity Our estimation is that we are not sufficiently diverse. We have 14 full-time TT/T faculty members and 12 part-time lecturers. For TT/T rank, eight are full professors, four are associate professors and two are assistant professors. The hiring of assistant professor Rebecca Eissler, who will begin in fall 2018, will help balance our latter faculty rankings, but we are still unbalanced in terms of our number of junior faculty.

For gender, there are four women in our department: two at the full professor level, another at the associate level and another at the assistant level. One will be starting to FERP in fall of 2018. In a department in which more than half our majors are women, the imbalance between male and female faculty is particularly striking. This becomes even more problematic when our lecturers are included: of our dozen or so lecturers, there are only 2 women (one who teaches three classes per semester, and one who normally teaches one class per semester). However, we do have one less obvious index of diversity here: at least two of our TT/T faculty publicly identify as LGBTQ, and at least two of our lecturers do so.

For ethnicity, we are an overwhelmingly white department in a student population that is extremely diverse. One of our junior faculty members is Latina. One of our senior faculty members is South Asian (but she will be retiring soon). A senior African-American scholar retired in spring of 2018. One faculty member is Chinese. All our other TT/T or lecturers are white. Thus while we have women and racial minorities at all ranks, they are still seriously underrepresented in the department.

56 Faculty Professional Growth and Achievement Both our junior and our tenured faculty engage in an array of important professional activities: they maintain serious research agendas, work closely with groups of students on important research projects, develop new student programs, contribute extensively to local and national affairs, and do important administrative work and institution building.

Our faculty have impressive teaching, publishing and service records. In spite of heavy teaching loads, most of our tenured faculty have published at least one book and many have published numerous books, articles and chapters in scholarly journals and books, as well as book reviews and other types of scholarly interventions. Since 2011, Aaron Belkin has published two monographs, nine journal articles, two book chapters and seven other essays while also running an important research institute (the Palm Center). Nicole Watts has published six peer-reviewed scholarly chapters and articles, authored a co-edited book, saw her 2010 monograph translated into Turkish, and received a competitive sabbatical award. Martin Carcieri has published four journal articles and five book chapters and also won a sabbatical award. Katherine Gordy has published one book, one journal article, and four book chapters, and received a pre-tenure and post-tenure sabbatical award. Sujian Guo has been particularly prolific, with a total of ten monographs, three journal articles, and eight book chapters. Ron Hayduk has a monograph, a contribution to an edited volume, and three book chapters and has written two grants, one large, and one small. Joel Kassiola has had several works translated in addition to two journal articles and four book chapters. James Martel, an internationally recognized theorist, has also been extremely prolific, with five monographs, one co-authored book, fifteen journal articles, 16 book chapters, and a sabbatical award.

Our non-tenured faculty also have strong publishing records, putting them on track for submitting a strong tenure and promotion file. Nicholas Conway has published two articles in scholarly journals since his hire last year. Marcela García-Castañon has two journal articles, two book chapters, three other essays. She received a pre-tenure sabbatical award and wrote four large grant proposals and one small one. They both have also contributed extensively to department and campus in a number of important and distinctive ways.

Notwithstanding these impressive records, the heavy teaching and administrative loads make it difficult for many faculty to publish as much as they would like to.

Faculty Workload and Balance Our faculty have a great deal of leeway in determining their teaching schedules, and the chair works closely with faculty members and faculty in each subfield in developing the fall and spring schedule. In general, some people prefer to teach undergraduate courses while others enjoy teaching graduate students (though none of our faculty teach exclusively in the graduate program). We work to ensure GWAR and culminating experience courses are offered in a variety of subfields and by a variety of faculty. Faculty who teach graduate courses do tend to do more graduate advising and to supervise more theses and comprehensive exams, though we also encourage students to develop relationships with faculty relevant to their interests even if they aren’t teaching any graduate courses. For the most part, our TT/T faculty all teach at a variety of levels: lower- and upper-division as well as graduate courses. Some of our lecturers teach

57 exclusively lower-division courses such as PLSI 200 Intro to American Politics; whereas others teach mostly upper-division courses.

Course Planning and Lecturers Because we haven’t been able to hire enough TT/T faculty to keep up with student need, we have needed to rely on lecturers for a number of classes. Because lecturers teach so many of our required lower-division core classes (i.e. PLSI 200, 250, and 275) we have tried to ensure that our other core class, PLSI 300 Scientific Inquiry, is primarily if not exclusively taught by TT faculty. We divide up the teaching of PLSI 200’s many sections between lecturers and TT faculty. Though many GWAR courses are taught by lecturers, all our senior culminating experience courses are taught by TT faculty.

Fostering, Assessing, and Supporting Teaching Quality In addition to student teaching evaluations, which many studies have suggested are of limited use in assessing teaching quality and learning outcomes, the department has guidelines in place that call for us to conduct two classroom visits and peer evaluations per year for assistant professors, and one annual peer classroom visit for tenured faculty. Peer evaluations assess teaching according to a variety of criteria including quality of class syllabus, class organization, clarity and sophistication of lectures, and quantity and quality of class discussion and student engagement. While in the past, limited time and resources meant that we were not always able to carry out these classroom visits as consistently as we would have liked, we have recently made efforts to streamline and standardize the process. Specifically, we have created three rubrics for assessing lecturers, assistant professors and tenured faculty. We have also discussed the need to provide each other with constructive feedback that recognizes the fact that even those of us who have taught for many years have much to learn from one another while also respecting distinct pedagogical styles and approaches. We have also considered other ways of supporting each other’s teaching, through workshops and other more informal and collegial exchanges.

Mentoring of and Professional Support of Faculty The department does not have a formal mentoring program, but we have become increasingly cognizant of the need to at least maintain informal mentoring and collegial support of all kinds. The chair communicates regularly with junior faculty in particular to try and address any concerns and offer support of various kinds. Senior faculty in each subfield meet regularly with junior faculty in that subfield, and share faculty and expertise. The chair also communicates frequently with members of each subfield regarding the curriculum, scheduling, teaching, and resources. The department is also trying to engage in more regular guest lecturers and brown-bag events to build a sense of intellectual community. Lecturers are quite closely integrated into the department and the structure: they are invited to faculty meetings and participate in discussions; they may vote on particular issues; they are included in email communications and are also consulted for ideas about the curriculum. One of our lecturers, Kathy Emery, was instrumental in re-starting the Experimental College, in which students teach other students for credit.

RTP Criteria and Relationship to Faculty Duties and the Discipline The department's RTP standards strike a careful balance among the various areas that the department's deems to be significant indicators of faculty success. With respect to teaching effectiveness, the department assesses no fewer than seven distinct aspects of pedagogy

58 including the range and breadth of courses, the quality of course materials such as syllabi and reading lists, student evaluations, peer class visits, curricular innovation, advising, instructional development. Each of these subcomponents is assessed on a regular basis as candidates make their way through the probationary period. With respect to professional achievement and growth, the department rewards 21 different types of research productivity including, of course, scholarly manuscripts and peer review articles, but also a wide range of scholarly and research materials such as edited and translated works, data analysises, grant writing, and presentations of peer- reviewed research at professional conferences. Finally, the department emphasizes the quality of service to campus and community and assesses a wide range of contributions including arranging professional meetings, serving on professional committees, and participation on editorial boards. We developed our RTPstandards carefully and over time, and in consultation with the senior campusadministrators to ensure that that they strike a careful balance that values the full range of faculty commitments and opportunities in the discipline.

Faculty Recruitment and Support The department anticipates serious needs in the upcoming years and already struggles to offer enough courses to meet student demand. Our number of majors has grown by half in the last 5 years but our number of TT/T faculty has remained roughly constant. Especially because one of our comparativists is beginning to FERP as of fall 2018 we hope to be able to hire a new comparativist who could also enrich our public law offerings through teaching comparative legal systems. We also need to hire an Americanist specializing in women, gender, and politics and another scholar who specializes in the politics of race, especially African-American politics, because of the retirement of Robert Smith.

Our updated RTP process will have much more feedback and support for faculty moving through the pre tenure and tenure process in the areas of teaching, service and professional development. Our new protocol of visiting adjunct professors will similarly help adjuncts to develop and improve their teaching. An enhanced mentoring system (which up till now has been largely informal) could also help to strengthen service and professional development

3.5 RESOURCES Financial Resources: Faculty Funds and Student Scholarships The department uses two main operating budgets: an account with CEL funds that does not carry forward and then a UCorp account that is a longer term for 2017-18 we began the year with $15,146 in the CEL account. These funds tend to be used for t costs and purchases such as honorarium for guest speakers, co-sponsoring campus events such as Constitution Day, helping fund student and lecturer travel for conferences, renewing software used in methods classes, etc. As of spring 2018, the UCorp account had $36,000 in it. These funds are designated for particular purposes such as student scholarships.

The Department of Political Science offers students four competitive scholarships annually. The Matthew F. Stolz Scholarship in Political Science goes to a qualified undergraduate or graduate student every year. The scholarship, provided in the name of a beloved and now deceased political science professor in our department, covers a year’s tuition minus $27.50 a semester

59 (the amount of tuition it cost Matt Stolz when he went to school). The fellowship is awarded on the basis of financial need and a demonstrated interest in political theory.

There are also two fellowships awarded to students doing work in empirical political science. The Gene Geisler Scholarships for Empirical Political Science are awarded to one undergraduate and one graduate student whose academic work demonstrates exceptional achievement in applying empirical methods to political topic. The Haynes award, which varies but usually is funded at the level of $2,000, is for students who do empirical research on California.

There are also a few smaller awards. All are for $100, more or less. The Matt Stolz essay prize, also named after a former professor of political theory, goes to the best political theory essay written that year. The Wasserman prize is for the best essay at both the graduate and undergraduate level (there is one for each). The David Jenkins award is for political activism and organizing.

There are no specified department resources for faculty, though we do use the CEL account to support faculty taking students to conferences (i.e. conference registration costs), and publication incidentals such as paying for illustrations in a book.

Program Space In the spring of 2016, the Department of Political Science moved from the HSS Building to the Humanities Building on the other side of campus. While we are now somewhat more spread out, this move greatly improved the quality and size of our program space. The department home in HUM 304 is a complex that includes the chair’s office, the office of the administrative office coordinator, the student assistant office and mailboxes, a large lounge, and an adjoining office that serves as the Lecturers Office.

The spacious lounge is normally available to and regularly used by PLSI students to study, meet, talk, socialize, eat lunch, work on assignments, etc. Some lecturers and TAs also hold office hours there, and the department uses the lounge for faculty meetings every other month or so. We also use the lounge to host guest speakers (we can fit around 50 chairs arranged in rows) and for other events like Advising Open Houses and retirement parties. Our priority is to keep this lounge open for student use as much as possible, so we do not hold regularly scheduled classes there. The lounge is open from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. and is not normally used after that nor on weekends except for special events, or faculty special projects.

The department also controls a laboratory space, HUM 407, which is used to teach our core PLSI 300 Scientific Inquiry course and which is in frequent use. The lab has 25 work stations consisting of a desktop with appropriate software. The lab is usually in use about 10-4 p.m. Monday through Thursday, either with classes or students working on lab assignments

Lecturers share an office adjoining the department lounge. It has three desks with three computers, two printers, a table, some chairs, a couch, two bookshelves, and a file cabinet. Lecturers who use the office have personal space on the bookshelves and in the file cabinet. About eight of our 13 lecturers regularly use the office, primarily for office hours but also as a place to work.

One of the greatest advantages of the move to HUM is that all tenured/tenure track faculty now have their own offices. When we were housed in HSS, all faculty had to share an office with a colleague. While this enabled faculty to develop close relationships with one another, it also required faculty to negotiate with their office mates about office hours and time alone in the office. Space was also limited. Now, all faculty have more comfortable and spacious offices for their books and research needs as well as more flexibility in terms of the time they can spend on campus in their office. This is particularly important given how far many of us live from SFSU. The offices are located on the second, third, fourth and fifth floors, with the chair’s office located in the Department of Political Science. While our offices are mixed in with those of other departments, we are all close enough to one another to maintain a sense of collegiality. Moreover, the current situation represents a vast improvement over our previous cramped quarters.

Faculty Advising Responsibilities The department assigns undergraduate advising responsibilities to all TT/T faculty with two exceptions: first-year TT faculty and faculty assigned or taking on other significant advising tasks. In practice this means all but several of our TT/T faculty do advising (around 90 percent). The graduate coordinator does not do undergrad advising because s/he serves as the general advisor to the grad students. We do not ask lecturers to do advising. Students are assigned to an advisor by their last name, though they may visit other faculty members for advising if their interests align or if their schedule does not permit them to visit their assigned advisor during office hours. We do not require students to receive advising but we strongly encourage it through written and oral communication. In practice, most students do visit an advisor in their junior or senior year to make sure they are on track for graduation. According to our recent survey of political science majors (N=155), 15% met with a political science advisor prior to becoming a major, 52% within the first year of declaring the major, and 30% between the time of declaring the major and the time of the survey (spring 2018). The survey also showed that a small percentage of students did not know who their advisor was or identified someone else. 63% identified the major from the department website, 21% learned about the requirements through an advisor, and 11% got them from a department handout. This suggests that the department might take more aggressive steps to make contact with students. One example of this is that in 2018 the department held two very successful days of Advising Open House (with faculty gathered to meet any student who attended); around 100 students visited with faculty for advising. We will now hold such open houses every fall and spring. Faculty also offer advising via email.

In 2018-2019 faculty were assigned approximately 50 students for advising. The two exceptions were the graduator coordinator (Katherine Gordy) and Nicholas Conway, because this was his first year in our department. However, due to Conway’s extensive work with students on the Moot Court program and his availability, many pre-law students -- including from other departments-- consult him for pre-law advising. TT/T Faculty normally hold 3-4 office hours a week. Some of this time is spent helping students on course-related material, but the bulk is spent on advising. The chair reviews all graduation forms and in a normal week receives 3-6 students per advising session for advising. These include students with problems, requests for exceptions,

61 the ones assigned by last name, as well as students who were not able to meet their assigned advisor.

University-Level Academic Support Resources for Students The program provides information about student academic support services on the department website, on individual syllabi, in class and during office hours. There are a variety of departmental and university wide resources to which we direct our students, depending on course material and need. Our recent survey (134 majors responded to this specific question) shows that students make use of the following academic resources available specifically to political science students: HUM 407 (62%) and HUM 304 (53%), STATA data analysis software (32%), and a small library of political theory texts located in the department lounge (17%). The survey (with 210 responding to this particular question) also showed that students made use of the following university-wide resources: The online virtual portal lab space (26%), the Advising Resource Center (50%), Equipment Rental (18%), Academic Technology (16%), Student Health Center (49%), the library (96%), the Wellness Center (10%), and the Legal Resources Center (10%). There are two tutoring service programs available to students and to which the program directs students. One is the faculty-run Learning Assistance Center, which, on an appointment basis, provides tutoring in reading, writing, research, math, science and study skills. The Campus Academic Research Program (CARP) offers tutoring on an appointment and drop-in basis as well as scheduled workshops. However, the survey data suggests that few students (less than 5%) make use of these last two resources, which are likely included in the “other resources” category of the survey. Class visits from representatives of these programs is one way to try to improve student use.

Information Technology and Student Learning Most courses, regardless of content or methodology, make use of some sort of information technology. According to our departmental survey, almost all (98%) of the students reported using iLearn in some capacity in their courses. Students surveyed used it primarily to access course materials (89%) or check their grade via gradebook (54%). iLearn is thus a supplement to most courses, and primarily used for administrative tasks like distributing grades and files (course readings, paper assignments and syllabi). While not surprising, the functionality of iLearn may lend itself towards more dynamic usage. While quizzes (42%) and forums (43%) are utilized, they are less common features for students on iLearn.

Students receive instruction in technology commonly applied in the discipline in some upper division courses and in a required course on research design and data analysis, called PLSI 300 Scientific Inquiry in Political Science. In that required course they attend a practical lab session where they learn to use computer programs designed to do statistical analyses (either Stata or SPSS). In additional courses they learn more advanced methods, either in programming and using software to design and conduct surveys (PLSI 462 Applied Public Opinion Research) or in more advanced analytic techniques (PLSI 605 Senior Seminar: Students' Choice Applied Research Methods).

Evaluation occurs within each course in two ways. First, through applied projects -- e.g., designing and fielding an original social science survey and then analyzing the primary data,

62 designing research projects and then presenting them at student conferences and showcases. Second, through various exercises, exams, papers, and presentations.

Staff: Funding, Responsibilities, Workload, Performance Assessment and Recognition The department has one full-time administrative office coordinator (AOC), Emily Yu. We are normally able to hire 2-3 part-time student assistants through the work study program each year, though the budget we are allocated for them varies. We have been working with the college to try and develop realistic budgets for hiring lecturers. Because the lecturer budgeting process in the past was very complicated, the dean’s office and the chairs have since 2016 been trying to work together to develop more transparent and functional budgeting processes for hiring lecturers.

Our AOC’s responsibilities are: Manage all office activities; manage department student resource center; plan and coordinate departmental events, student group activities; process lecturers and graduate assistant hiring and payroll; coordinate and provide technical support for the faculty search; provide administrative support to the Chair and faculty in interpreting, developing, implementing, monitoring and evaluating policies and procedures related to the operations and budgetary needs of the department; maintain department web sites, and supervise student assistants; schedule building; assist in preparing workload reports for faculty; oversee teaching-effective evaluation process; manage scholarship accounts; maintain inventory of office supplies and equipment; manage program databases and department flies; assist in graduate program admission process; assist in program development ,program assessment, student services and general advising; assists the Chair in overall operations, maintenance and planning of the department; assist faculty with course related materials; provide information with preparation of courses.

In the past the AOC received an annual performance evaluation, but HR has not asked us to conduct one in recent years. We in the department feel very grateful to have a singularly competent and patient AOC, as well as very good student assistants.

Plan: Resource Allocation and Advising Given the fact that we teach twice as many students as we used to with a much smaller budget and fewer faculty, we are using our resources in extremely economical ways. Our faculty have devoted significant time and effort to do advising, academic planning, assessment programs, strategic planning and other related activities. Unfortunately, we are relying on the good will and volunteerism of our faculty and this is not tenable in the long run. To continue the level of service that we provide, much less to strengthen and expand upon it, we require more resources to grow and improve our program.

We have identified advising as a key priority for our department. Our main efforts in this area have been to better publicize the requirements of the major (i.e. by creating posters of requirements and putting them in a prominent position in our office lobby), to hold regular Advising Open Houses each semester (the first of which we held in the spring of 2018), to better train faculty in the requirements of the major, and to explore the option of re-assigning students to advisors based on area of interest. We hope that improved advising will streamline the flow of students through our major and reduce the time to graduation.

We have already been responding to earlier formal reviews to maximize our use of resources and we will continue to do this as we move forward. To recall some of the activities that we are in the midst of undertaking, we revised both our MA and undergraduate program, make both of them more rigorous and better informed by our faculty’s areas of research specialization (thus connecting professional development to teaching and service very directly). We have worked out a modus vivendi for student advising (using a training video for a while and now considering making another one), and we are continually pursuing ways to maximize the resources that we have. This includes cooperating with other departments to pool resources on jointly sponsoring visiting speakers and conferences, coordinating with the newly creating Experimental College, a large number of cross listed courses and other forms of cooperation that stretch our resources as best we can.

64 SECTION IV: CONCLUSIONS, PLANS AND GOALS This report suggests that the Department of Political Science has many strengths. The course offerings and the research agendas of our faculty are robust and diverse. Our student demographics show that we are serving our community as well as the larger mission of SFSU. While our students face a variety of challenges, most successfully complete the program and go on to meaningful jobs and careers. Among our undergraduate and graduate students who have completed the program are students accepted to top law schools and other graduate programs (MA and PhD). Many of our students are politically engaged: through internships, in political campaigns, in volunteering with nonprofits and social welfare organizations, and in and local and global social movements. Some of our students have created and taught courses in the Experimental College. In addition, many attend conferences and other events where they present original scholarship doing applied empirical projects and work in political theory. We are also a faculty committed to our students, our scholarship and the university and larger community. We are also aware, however, of the myriad challenges we face in light of financial and institutional constraints as well as our own need to maintain and improve quality teaching, service and research. One of our greatest challenges, this report concludes, is meeting the demand of our required courses given an increase in the number of majors and no increase in the number of full-time faculty. This informs most of the following list of our priorities. Curricular Priorities One priority is to to continue to develop key areas of emphasis within the major, especially given the recent narrowing of the curriculum because of eliminating the public policy subfield from our breadth fields. We want to expand our pre-law curriculum and training in applied empirical methods and are considering offering certificates in these areas that would highlight this department strength and benefit students within and outside the major.

We also want to re-build our comparative offerings, which have become more limited in recent years due to faculty retirements, departures, and other significant commitments. The need is especially keen in the geographic areas of Latin and South America, Africa, South-East Asia, and Europe, and on a number of thematic issues.

Advising Priorities Our recent survey as well as the process of writing this report has given us a great deal of information about how to improve learning and graduation rates. We believe it is important to focus on improving the advising process so that students finish their studies in a timely and efficient manner. One way to do this will be to develop interest-specific roadmaps to graduation (e.g. social movements and activism) that students may use to help them identify relevant faculty, coursework, and opportunities such as internships and study abroad. We will also continue to hold regular Advising Open Houses, work to better publicize and explain the requirements of the major, and keep our faculty informed about curriculum requirements.

Faculty Priorities Our assessment shows that our faculty hiring has not kept up with the dramatic increase in the number of political science majors. As such, a major priority of the department is the hiring of new TT faculty, especially in the areas of comparative politics, women in politics, and the politics of race. We are particularly concerned about our ability to recruit and retain junior

65 faculty in light of the extraordinarily high cost of living in the Bay Area. We believe it is important to protect junior faculty by ensuring that their course load, advising, and service requirements do not become so burdensome as to keep them from pursuing their research agendas and publishing obligations. A top priority in hiring is also to recruit diverse faculty who better reflect the demographics of our student population. A more diverse faculty not only means a broader array of perspectives and experiences but also plays an extremely important role in inspiring and mentoring our students. Given the teaching, advising and service demands made on our faculty, we also want to devote attention to building a more robust intellectual community in the department through brown-bags, guest speakers, writing and research groups and more.

Pressing and Long Term Priorities Of the plans and priorities that we have identified in this report, one of the most pressing is ensuring that students graduate on time. This is not just a question of statistics, but also of ethics, as many students struggle to pay for school and otherwise fulfill their educational goals. In the short- and long term, we strongly believe that the hiring of new faculty is crucial if we want to serve our existing students and continue to expand our major. We need to not only replace positions left open by faculty retiring or taking work elsewhere but to hire--and retain-- enough faculty to actively build our program. This will allow us to better fulfill our mission within the university and the community and to better cultivate our faculty’s extraordinary research and teaching abilities.

67 CONCLUDING ACTION MEMORANDUM

SAN FRANCISCO STATE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMEN OF POLITICAL SCIENCE

Spring 2011

The San Francisco State University Department of Political Science, housed in the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences, offers a BA and an MA in Political Science. The Department undertook a self-study of its programs, which was followed by an external review by two consultants: Professor Ken Green from California State University, Long Beach and Professor Donald Truxillo from Portland State University. The external review was, in tum, followed by an internal review from the Academic Program Review Committee (APRC) of the Academic Senate, which examined all documentation from the Department and the external review. Please note that the conclusion of this review was delayed by over a year because of the college reorganization.

Commendations

1. The Department is commended for the review of the curriculum and faculty workload.

2. The Department is commended for the high level of professionalism and collegiality among the faculty members.

3. The Department is commended for its strategic hiring plan

4. The Department is commended for efforts to improve student advising.

5. The Department is applauded for its efforts in securing student resources.

6. The Department is commended for developing an evaluation rubric.

7. The Department is commended for improving coordination and collaboration with other departments.

Action Plan

Based on the outcome of the academic program review and on the discussions resulting from this review, the Department of Political Science will take the following steps:

I. The Department should immediately integrate International Relations coursework into the MA curriculum. This recommendation was the strongest and most serious recommendation emerging from the review.

2. The Department should work with the Office of Academic Planning and Educational Effectiveness to improve and fully implement the assessment of student learning at the graduate level.

3. The Department should conduct a close examination of the causes and solutions to student attrition. This examination should include review of admission requirements, program advising, sequence of course-offerings, examination preparation activities for student, career-advising, and the impact of culminating experiences.

4. The Department should conduct a close review of its Level I and II Writing Requirements in an effort to ameliorate reported inadequate writing skills of students in the comprehensive examinations.
