Abstract	A computer application at Eastern Montana College provides individual and grouped instructional faculty load data. The mainframe-generated reports support department heads and administrators in decision-making concerning staffing, merit awards, equity, accountability, planning, and productivity. The reports are best suited to colleges that practice shared governance, have flexible faculty load policies, and fulfill a primary role of instruction. At Eastern Montana College, data were needed to determine what level of full-time equivalent faculty should be allocated for each department in light of changing course and major field enrollment patterns. Database problems concerned the reporting of instructional mode and concurrent, cross-listed, and team-taught courses. The new reports provide data on five faculty workload factors by level of instruction. For each instructor, the report summarizes by department the number of enrollees and student credit hours produced by level for traditional class instruction and for traditional instruction plus other instruction. The report also summarizes the student credit hours that are produced by each department by level for both traditional and other instruction. Sample reports are appended. (SW)
