Within the academic sector CWU seeks to protect the quality of education and student experience while maximizing the efficient use of resources. Educational quality can be difficult to measure, however we can measure certain things that could contribute to diminished quality, notably larger class sizes (depending on pedagogy), higher enrollments per faculty FTE, and of course an over-reliance on adjunct faculty instead of tenured faculty. In fall 2017 CWU accommodated record enrollment, however that was only about 100 students more than in fall 2010. The intervening years saw an enrollment drop until fall 2014, and then growth to fall 2017. We presume the institution has latent instructional capacity, since there are more instructional facilities available as well as additional faculty FTE.
