Conclusions
§ Cost & Productivity measures are a key part of a program review
§ Cost per SCH and Student/Faculty Ratios are the measures used to examine the efficiency of programs
§ Benchmarking enhances the analysis by adding context
§ Decisions should not be made based on cost alone
§ Use analysis to balance programs/divisions, adjust teaching loads and class sizes, and make strategic decisions
