Hi Sarah, I initiated a discussion on this topic in 2017. I went back into the LRNASST archive and found you some resources from that conversation. Below is a reply and some attachments Ira Fabri set at the time. (I hope you don't mind me sharing this, Ira!) Also at the time, Stacey Blackwell was collecting benchmarking information on this topic via Qualtrics survey. I received the report from her directly, but no longer have access to it, because it would be in my former institution's email. Stacey, if you're not too busy, would you be willing to share your results from that survey to the list again?

Since this is a recurring question, if anyone out there wants to conduct a study and write a journal article about it, it seems there would be an audience.... I know I would read it! Just putting that out there! 😁 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: Staff:Tutor Ratio <https://lists.ufl.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=LRNASST-L;af308337.1712> From: Ira Fabri <[log in to unmask]> Reply-To: Open Forum for Learning Assistance Professionals <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 5 Dec 2017 14:44:36 -0500 Content-Type: multipart/mixed Parts/Attachments: [image: Parts/Attachments] text/plain <https://lists.ufl.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A3=ind1712&L=LRNASST-L&E=Quoted-printable&P=1508444&B=--089e082c7db0181317055f9d1310&T=text%2Fplain;%20charset=UTF-8&header=1> (117 lines) , text/html <https://lists.ufl.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A3=ind1712&L=LRNASST-L&E=Quoted-printable&P=1515140&B=--089e082c7db0181317055f9d1310&T=text%2Fhtml;%20charset=UTF-8&XSS=3&header=1> (26 lines) , Professional staff numbers.docx <https://lists.ufl.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A3=ind1712&L=LRNASST-L&E=base64&P=1532313&B=--089e082c7db018131a055f9d1312&T=application%2Fvnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document;%20name=%22Professional%20staff%20numbers.docx%22&N=Professional%20staff%20numbers.docx&attachment=q&XSS=3> (26 lines) , Tutoring numbers.xlsx <https://lists.ufl.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A3=ind1712&L=LRNASST-L&E=base64&P=1552659&B=--089e082c7db018131a055f9d1312&T=application%2Fvnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet;%20name=%22Tutoring%20numbers.xlsx%22&N=Tutoring%20numbers.xlsx&attachment=q&XSS=3> (26 lines) Hi All. I saved some answers that were given to a similar question a while ago (see attached Word document). I also ask some questions in September that can help with this (see Excel file). The excel file is organized by institution and not by question. That might make it a bit difficult to read at first. I apologize but I have not had the time, yet, to reorganize it. I hope these two documents can help and I would be very interested in other colleagues' insights.

Currently, we have one program manager supervising 218 study group facilitators and one program manager supervising 60 tutors and 12 mentors. These programs do share one administrative assistant as well. Obviously, this is far from ideal or a best practice and we are hoping to provide the evidence needed to convince our Dean's Office to grant our request for additional staff. Thanks!
