Question 3.

Suppose the Dean-Academics wanted to ensure the most efficient utilization of faculty resources.
Which of the following hiring decisions will ensure the MOST efficient utilization of faculty resources?
A
Hire A type candidates and let the new as well as existing faculty teach same courses
B
Hire B type candidates to teach complementary courses
C
Ask existing faculty to develop complementary courses
D
Hire C type candidates and assign them teaching-assistant responsibilities

Question Explanation

Text Explanation
Option E is the most efficient choice by combining the teaching excellence of A type candidates with their capability to develop complementary courses, ensuring a well-rounded and resource-efficient approach.
Option A is incorrect because it may result in redundancy, as both new A type candidates and existing faculty members would be teaching the same courses. It can lead to inefficient resource allocation and potential competition for teaching assignments.
Option B is not the most efficient because B type candidates are average teachers but competent in creating and teaching new courses. Hiring them exclusively for complementary courses might not efficiently utilize their skills in teaching existing courses.
Option C is not the correct answer because the existing faculty members may not have the expertise or inclination to develop complementary courses. This approach might lead to inefficiencies in course development and potentially compromise the quality of new courses.
Option D is incorrect because C type candidates, described as not-so-good teachers, may not be the best fit for teaching-assistant responsibilities. This option may result in challenges in maintaining teaching quality and efficient utilization of faculty resources.
The correct option is E
