• FTE to student ratio:
o Current filled FTE (4.39) to student ratio is 1:2,277 o Current filled and vacant FTE (6.39) to student ratio is 1:1,569. • Space: Counseling Services will soon run out of office space and does not have the capacity for more than one additional new hire. Additional Fee Request: Although last year’s proposal included the possibility of a fee increase request for FY20, Counseling Services is not seeking one at this time because there has not been an opportunity to evaluate the impact of an additional staff person on the supply/demand problem and we have been awaiting the outcome of the state legislative session, which concluded April 28. Fortunately, the state appropriated $368,000 annually “solely for increasing mental health counseling.” The university will develop a plan for this funding that prioritizes the following:
• Personnel:
o Hire Clinical Case Manager for Counseling Services o Increase 4 Rights and Responsibilities Case Managers to 12-month contracts o Hire an additional 1-2 counselors with specialty areas
• Technology:
o Purchase Telepsychiatry trial for a year o Onboard WellTrack or similar product (self-directed as well as therapist-assisted coping skills training for mental health and wellness concerns)
