From the author: This article examines assumptions about the possible cause-effect relationship between class size and student achievement, and why social work programs increasingly substitute non-tenure-track and part-time personnel for tenure-track faculty. Data are presented that cast doubt on previous conclusions that lowering mandated student-faculty ratio guidelines for MSW and BSW programs would improve student learning. The author suggests that programs have a monetary motive for the increasing use of non-tenure-track and part-time personnel. The author also discusses areas to focus on for improving student achievement beyond class size and the student-faculty ratio.
