6.02 There shall be properly located and equipped faculty offices of sufficient quality to adequately address privacy and confidentiality issues, and that are of a number and size comparable to other programs housed in the academic unit and consistent with institutional policy.
Evidence of Compliance:
Since the last accreditation report, the Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies has had two tenure track faculty depart to other universities (Davidson in 2022 and Dudley in 2025), and have had some changes in full and part time lecturers. We currently have two office spaces dedicated to part time faculty, and 6 offices dedicated to our tenure track and full time lecture faculty.
As of the current reporting period:
Four tenure-line faculty, and one full time lecturer are located in private offices within the main department suite, along with the Administrative Support Coordinator’s space.
The fifth tenure-track faculty member consistent with space availability and university policy.
Part-time faculty share two dedicated offices- one inside and one outside the suite, which are used for student meetings, grading, and academic advising.
The department also also has:
A copy room
A storage closet housing activity supplies for our lower division elective classes.
A storage room housing our main department storage space, along with gear to support our Wilderness Studies classes.
All faculty offices—whether in or adjacent to the suite—are private and appropriately equipped to support:
Confidential student advising
FERPA-compliant conversations
Professional work, including research and course preparation
These spaces are comparable in size and quality to offices in other academic units within the College of Health and Human Services and conform to CSULB’s institutional policies for faculty space allocation. The department continues to collaborate with the Dean’s Office on office assignments as new faculty are hired or space becomes available, ensuring ongoing alignment with standards for access, privacy, and professional function.
