Since 1968, an increasing number of California community colleges have participated in the Presidents' Study, a study of Weekly Student Contact Hours (WSCH) and Full-Time Equivalent Faculty (FTE) to determine faculty work loads, cost factors, and trends. In 1973, 41 Northern and 26 Southern California community colleges reported. Golden West College began participating in 1974. This report compares the data obtained at Golden West in fall 1974 with that obtained for the entire state, and with averages for small and large community colleges, in fall 1973. Data on WSCH, percent WSCH, FTE, percent FTE, and load and cost indexes are presented by college division and by instructional disciplines within the eight divisions: business, communications, fine arts, health sciences, physical education, mathematics/science, social science, and technology. The methodology of the Presidents' Study is criticized for its oversimplified equation of faculty load with WSCH, a measurement less meaningful for institutions committed to nontraditional programs and methods.
