Percentage of FT FTE was not significantly correlated with any of the
variables. However, it is directly correlated with FT FTE (0.336), student to faculty
ratio (0.317), and PT hourly pay (0.294).
Percentage of PT FTE is not significantly correlated with any of the variables.
However, percentage of PT FTE is indirectly and not significantly correlated with FT
FTE (-0.336), student to faculty ratio (-0.317), and PT hourly pay (-0.294).
Group 3 Pay:
Average FT salary was significantly correlated with only one variable, the
student to faculty ratio (0.591); this was a direct relationship. Other notable, but non-significant
correlations include PT hourly pay (0.415), FTES total (0.413), and FTES
credit (0.402), all directly correlated.
PT hourly pay is directly and significantly correlated with six variables: FTES
credit (0.703), FTES total (0.691), student to faculty ratio (0.651), Total FTE (0.642),
FT FTE (0.620), and PT FTE (0.615).
Group 4 Student to faculty ratio:
The student to faculty ratio is correlated with seven variables: PT hourly pay
(0.651), FTES non-credit (0.606), FTES total (0.596), average FT salary (0.594),
FTES credit (0.531), FT FTE (0.472), and Total FTE (0.438). The student to faculty
ratio is directly but not significantly correlated with PT FTE (0.362) and % FT FTE
(0.317), and indirectly and not significantly with % PT FTE (-0.317).

| Abstract | The goals of this empirical study of community colleges are to 1) create a benchmark for per student instructional expenditures; and 2) account for variations in instructional expenditures among a peer group of community colleges in Southern California. The peer group sample included 22 single campus community college districts in the Los Angeles area. Using data for three fiscal years a refined mean benchmark value for instructional expenditures of $2,676.71 per full-time equivalent student (FTES) was estimated with a standard deviation of $326.54. Using Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, 11 variables were correlated with instructional costs per FTES. The largest and only statistically significant determinant included the number of part-time instructors (-0.424). While other variables were correlated, none were statistically significant at the 95% confidence interval. The results from the sample suggest that larger colleges have lower instructional costs per FTES despite higher faculty pay. Expanding credit student enrollment within the funding growth limits set by the State, along with additional part-time instruction within the limits set by the State will likely result in lower instructional costs per FTES and an economy of scale effect. The effect of increased institutional size on quality of education was not assessed. |
