UESL Efficiencies Change in Director’s position in FY19 from 1 FTE to .75 FTE, saving $15,000 in salary expenses. This will be continued in FY20 Switching the faculty contracts: 4 Full-time faculty AY contracts to Quarterly faculty contracts. This allows maximum flexibility to respond to enrollment levels as necessary. UESL program traditionally offered 5 levels. Since AY17-18 UESL program has offered 3-4 levels according to the enrollment of the quarter. This reduces the number of workload units significantly, as can be seen below: Winter, 2017 – 90 wlu Winter, 2018 – 80 wlu Winter, 2019 – 55 wlu Goods and services costs have been reduced
